2025 Grady-White 231 Coastal Explorer

The 2025 Grady-White 231 Coastal Explorer is a 23-foot fiberglass bay boat built for shallow-water fishing and coastal cruising. Powered by twin Yamaha F250NSB4 engines with integrated digital electric steering, the boat reaches speeds up to 41 knots and cruises comfortably at 24 knots. Its SeaV² hull design delivers responsive handling and rough-water capability while maintaining the shallow-draft performance needed for skinny-water exploration.

The 231 comes equipped with a bow table, fiberglass construction throughout, and a single head with a deck pump-out system. Additional factory options on this example include a windshield wiper, cockpit rod storage, and an ivory bow shade for sun protection. At 8.5 feet of beam, the boat balances stability with maneuverability in confined spaces typical of inshore environments.
