2007 Grady-White Sailfish 282Sold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how solid and secure this hull feels underfoot—Grady’s deep walkarounds and high bow rails make getting forward to handle anchor or lines feel confident, even when it’s choppy. The helm layout gives great sightlines over the bow and aft to the spread, and the wide companion seat means your co-pilot isn’t perched on a token jump seat. Inside, the cabin has more headroom than many boats this size, with plenty of natural light from the forward hatch so it doesn’t feel like a cave. Thoughtful touches like ample tackle storage, cockpit toe rails, and beefy hardware remind you this is a serious offshore platform that’s still easy to live with for weekends aboard.

In this region, conditions can shift from glassy to stacked-up in a hurry, and the Sailfish 282’s proven deep-V hull is built for exactly that. The wide beam and hefty weight help it track solidly through inlets and afternoon chop, while the tall windshield and integrated hardtop provide real protection from sun and spray. Local anglers will appreciate the generous cockpit and secure walkaround when working a fish around the bow or setting lines in a swell. For family cruising along the coast or hopping between sandbars, the enclosed cabin, real galley, and private head turn this from a day boat into a comfortable overnighter without sacrificing offshore capability.
