2026 Tidewater 2700 Carolina Bay

The Tidewater 2700 Carolina Bay is a 27-foot fiberglass runabout built for both serious fishing and entertaining. Twin Yamaha engines deliver 600 horsepower, while the generous 9-foot-4-inch beam and thoughtful layout provide excellent space and comfort for extended time on the water. A fiberglass T-top with glass enclosure and hardtop in Bahama Blue with white topping protects occupants from the elements.

The boat accommodates groups easily with a bow seat featuring cushions and backrest, a large walk-in console with passenger footrest, a fiberglass leaning post with deluxe seat, and multiple stern seating options including a flip-up bench seat and flip-up jump seats to port and starboard. Storage is distributed throughout: insulated livewells totaling 43 gallons with tackle centers, insulated cooler and storage compartments, and removable bins. The 141-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising.

Fishing features include a fiberglass super deluxe livewell aquarium with tackle center, raw water wash-down, and King Fish rod holders on the T-top. A sun shade bow with two integrated rod holders adds versatility. Twin fiberglass swim platforms with three-step ladders provide easy water access, and a freshwater shower is available.

Electronics and systems include Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv and GT12M-THF thru-hull transducer, Garmin 215 AIS VHF radio, Yamaha CL5 gauges, NMEA 2K network, trim tabs with indicators, a 10-inch jack plate, and recessed windlass with 200 feet of rode. JL Audio entertainment comprises a MM 105 amplifier with six M6 speakers, an 8-channel DSP amp, and a 10-inch subwoofer. Undersea illumination, motion-activated interior and storage lighting, and three batteries complete the package.
