2026 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay

The 2026 Tidewater 2500 Carolina Bay is a stepped-hull bay boat built on a fiberglass foundation and powered by a single 300-horsepower Yamaha outboard. At just over 25 feet with a 9-foot beam, it's designed for shallow-water performance while accommodating a family day on the water.

The boat carries substantial onboard amenities. A powder-coated fiberglass T-top with full glass enclosure and vent provides weather protection. The helm features an Atlas 10-inch jackplate, dual battery switch, and a leaning post with armrests. A fresh water shower with 10-gallon tank is included. The interior is outfitted with white cushions with black stitching. Audio is handled by a JL Audio MM105 amplifier paired with six JL Audio speakers and a 10-inch subwoofer, managed through a Yamaha CL5 control head.

The hull sides and bottom are finished in coastal paint. A Road King tandem-axle trailer is included with the purchase. The boat comes with Tidewater's LifePLUS warranty: three years of bow-to-stern coverage, one year on gelcoat, blister, powder coat, aluminum, and upholstery, and a lifetime limited structural hull warranty.
