                          Bay boats

                          Bay boats come in a variety of sizes, ranging from 18 to 24 feet, with fore and aft casting decks. Intended for fishing along the coast in Gulf fisheries, these boats tend to have a semi-V hull, at least two livewells, plenty of rod holders, Power Pole anchoring systems, electric trolling motors, and low gunwales.

                            In partnership with:

                            |

                            What are bay boats?

                            Bay boats are medium-sized, trailerable vessels usually used for activities such as freshwater and saltwater fishing. Vessels of this kind can range in size, with the smallest current boat listed at 15 feet in length, to the longest vessel measuring 30 feet, and an average length of 22 feet. Several boat building companies produce these vessels, using hull types such as modified vee, deep vee, flat, pontoon and other. A total of 2,792 brand-new boats and 1,656 used boats are among the 4,448 bay boats that are now available on Boat Trader, which features listings from both professional boat dealers and individuals countrywide.

                            What are the best bay boats?

                            Tidewater, Xpress, Robalo, Pathfinder and Sportsman are some of the best-known manufacturers of bay boats at the moment. These builders design bay boats models with outboard, outboard-4S, inboard/outboard, inboard and other propulsion systems, available in gas, diesel, electric and other fuel systems. The top, most popular bay boats brands on Boat Trader during the previous 30 days were Pathfinder, Robalo, Sportsman, Tidewater and Xpress.

                            How much do bay boats cost?

                            Prices for bay boats on Boat Trader range from a reasonable $10,995 at the cheaper end to $352,029 for the more lavish boat variety. While more compact utility models may have engines with as little as 59 horsepower on them, models with the greatest power can have motors up to 600 horsepower (although the average motor size is 250HP).

                            Why are bay boats popular?

                            Bay boats are popular for their shallow draft and average beam, qualities that make these boats perfect for freshwater and saltwater fishing. Bay boats are also popular boats for rivers and lakes and other shallow fresh bodies of water. Within our current availability, these bay boats can hold up to 14 people, but usually averages 8. Also, with 4,448 bay boats currently listed for sale and 1,034 boats added in the last month, Boat Trader is confident you’ll find the boat you are looking for.
