251 CE 25' COASTAL EXPLORER

The 251 Coastal Explorer is aptly named. Built on Grady’s SeaV²® hull, the 251 offers more offshore capability and performance than any other inshore fishing boat. With built-in rod storage, bow and stern fishing platforms, and a deluxe lean bar with lockable storage and a 25-gal livewell, this 25-foot center console boat is packed with fishing features. Its numerous family-friendly amenities including a head area, plenty of water sport storage, and low gunnels for easy access to the water make it the best fishing and family center console boat!
