The 2026 Shoalwater 23 Catamaran is a shallow-water flats boat built around a wide catamaran hull designed for stability and smooth handling in skinny conditions. Powered by a single Yamaha 250 SHO, the boat combines the speed and range needed to reach distant fishing grounds with the shallow-draft performance serious anglers demand.
The layout centers on fishing functionality. Dual helm seating with slides allows flexibility for operator positioning, while a 15-inch raised platform extends sightlines for spotting. Dual live wells with Pro Air systems keep bait and catch healthy throughout the day. The 61-gallon fuel cell supplies adequate range for extended trips, and a hybrid hardtop provides weather protection.
Equipment includes a Bob's jack plate for engine trim and lift adjustment, Lenco trim tabs for attitude control, and hydraulic steering for responsive handling. A premium tall grab rail adds safety throughout the boat. Additional details include a switch panel for systems management and a spare tire mounted on the trailer.
