The Parker 227 Explorer is a 22-foot sportfish boat built with fiberglass composite construction. Powered by twin gasoline engines, it combines rugged capability with practical comfort for fishing and recreational cruising. The redesigned pilothouse provides weather protection and confidence across varying conditions, while the layout prioritizes ample storage and functional deck space suited to both angling and leisure use.
The boat features a single head and accommodations designed around versatility. Standard equipment includes Seakeeper Ride stabilization, which substantially improves the boat's motion and handling characteristics. The beam of 8.5 feet provides a stable platform, and the design supports offshore fishing, cruising, diving, and dayboating activities with equal competence.
Parker's construction focuses on durability and seaworthiness throughout the 227 Explorer's build. The boat reflects the builder's established approach to quality and practical seamanship, with materials and systems chosen for reliability across extended use.
