2027 Barker Boatworks 26 Calibogue Bay

The 26 Calibogue Bay from Barker Boatworks is a bay and inshore fishing boat built on a stepped-V hull with an 18-degree transom deadrise. At 26 feet long with a 9.25-foot beam, the hull design prioritizes stability and shallow-water access while delivering a smooth ride offshore. The boat is constructed with 100% vinyl ester and composite-cored fiberglass using vacuum-infusion methods, creating a durable, solid structure.

The cockpit is self-bailing and organized for serious fishing work. Elevated casting decks forward and aft provide sight-fishing platforms, while built-in rod storage keeps tackle accessible. The boat includes ample baitwell and fishbox capacity, multiple livewells, and abundant storage throughout. The practical deck layout supports extended fishing days and everyday use alike.

Powered by a single 425-horsepower Mercury engine, the Calibogue Bay reaches a top speed of 52 knots and cruises at 39 knots. The shallow draft and versatile design make it capable across inshore bays, flats, and coastal waters.
