Description
The Grady-White Fisherman 257 is a 25-foot center console that redefines what a sport fishing boat can be. Designed for coastal anglers and recreational boaters who demand performance and versatility, it pairs rugged capability with refined comfort. Powered by twin Yamaha 200hp outboards, the 257 delivers a top speed of over 50 MPH and cruises efficiently at 2.66 MPG, giving you the range and responsiveness to chase fish or explore coastlines with confidence. The SeaV²® hull—Grady’s signature variable deadrise design—ensures a smooth, dry ride even in choppy conditions, making this boat as comfortable offshore as it is inshore.
Fishing features are built into every inch of the layout. Three oversized insulated fish boxes—two 120-quart boxes forward and a massive 185-quart box aft—offer serious storage for your catch. The 32-gallon livewell is lighted and raw-water fed, with full-column distribution to keep bait lively all day. Rod storage is integrated into the T-top and under the gunwales, with outrigger plates ready for tournament-grade gear. The helm is protected by a full-height windshield with a sleek, curved acrylic panel and integrated wiper, while the fiberglass T-top includes LED spreader lights, a storage net, and tri-color recessed lighting for night runs or early launches.
Comfort hasn’t been sacrificed for utility. Forward seating includes cushioned, forward-facing lounges with foldaway bolsters, while the transom bench converts from double-wide seating to open deck space in seconds. A lockable head compartment features a portable toilet, dome light, and cherry-and-holly sole for a touch of elegance. The helm lean bar includes flip-up bolsters, tackle trays, knife and plier holders, and space for an optional Yeti cooler. A waterproof stereo system with touchscreen controls, Bluetooth® connectivity, and LED-lit speakers rounds out the experience, making the Fisherman 257 as ready for family cruising as it is for serious fishing.
This isn’t just another 25-footer—it’s a Grady. And with twin Yamaha 200s on the transom, it’s built to perform, built to last, and built to impress.
