2026 Tidewater 2300 Carolina Bay

The 2026 Tidewater 2300 Carolina Bay is a 23-foot center console bay boat built on a stepped fiberglass hull. Powered by a single Yamaha F250 outboard engine, it's designed as a high-performance family fishing platform suited to shallow and coastal waters.

The boat features a white powder-coated T-top for sun and weather protection, paired with a deluxe drop bolster leaning post with armrests and white cushions with black inserts. A 10-inch Atlas jackplate provides engine control and trim adjustment. Sound system consists of a JL Audio MM50 amplifier with six JL Audio speakers. LectroTab trim tabs with indicators aid handling and ride quality, while a dual battery switch manages onboard power.

The hull is finished in white sides with a seaspray-colored bottom. Equipment includes a Road King tandem axle trailer.

The boat comes with Tidewater's LifePLUS warranty: three years of bow-to-stern coverage, one year on gelcoat and other non-structural elements, and lifetime limited structural hull coverage.
