2012 Tidewater 220 CC Adventure

The 220 CC Adventure punches above its weight with a smart, fish-first layout and family-friendly touches. The deep, secure cockpit and high gunwales keep everyone comfortable when the chop kicks up, while the wide bow area offers room to cast or relax with cushions in place. Under-gunwale rod storage, livewell, and insulated fish boxes keep gear and catch organized without cluttering the deck. The helm has clean sightlines, plenty of room for modern electronics, and a leaning post that works just as well on a long troll as it does running spot to spot. It’s a simple, honest rig that’s easy to hose down and put away at the end of the day.

This size Tidewater shines in waters where you might run the inlet in the morning, drift nearshore structure by lunch, and idle the back bays at sunset. The efficient hull handles afternoon wind chop confidently without needing big horsepower or deep pockets at the fuel dock. A moderate draft lets you work around sandbars and shallow flats while still feeling comfortable stretching out toward the reef line when conditions allow. With its open deck, straightforward systems, and easy trailerability, it’s a practical platform for anglers and families who split time between fishing, cruising, and sandbar snorkeling in this kind of coastal environment.
