Description
The Grady-White Fisherman 257 is purpose-built for anglers and coastal adventurers who demand performance, functionality, and lasting quality in a 25-foot package. Every detail of this vessel reflects Grady-White's decades-long commitment to craftsmanship and on-the-water excellence.
At the heart of the 257's fishing capability are three large insulated fish boxes and a generous 32-gallon livewell — giving serious anglers everything they need to keep their catch in prime condition throughout a full day on the water. The full-height windshield provides outstanding protection from spray and wind, while the integrated T-top comes fully equipped with spreader lights for early morning and late evening trips, outrigger plates for trolling, and dedicated storage for four rods — keeping your gear organized and ready at a moment's notice.
Beneath the hull lies Grady-White's signature SeaV²® hull design, a proven technology that delivers an exceptionally smooth, stable, and responsive ride across a wide range of sea conditions. Whether you are navigating open coastal waters or working nearshore structure, the 257 handles with confidence and control.
Refined in design, relentless in performance, and built to last a lifetime — the Grady-White Fisherman 257 is the definitive choice for those who take their time on the water seriously.
