2018 Wellcraft 262 Fisherman

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 262 Fisherman feels bigger than its length, thanks to wide walkaround decks and generous freeboard that keep crew feeling secure when the seas stand up. The forward seating converts from lounge space to a casting deck in minutes, while the helm is protected by a substantial hardtop with sturdy powder‑coated supports and integrated storage for your gear. Thoughtful touches are everywhere: a marine head tucked in the console for all-day comfort, plenty of shaded seating for family, and well-placed grab rails when you’re running offshore. The dash has room for modern multi-function displays, and the helm layout keeps everything within easy reach when conditions demand your full attention.

In these waters, conditions can swing from calm mornings to choppy afternoons, and the 262 Fisherman is built for that kind of versatility. Its deep-V hull softens the ride when the wind picks up, while the wide beam and high bow help keep things dry when quartering a sloppy chop. There’s ample range and cruising efficiency for running to distant reefs or shoals, yet the boat still drafts shallow enough to poke into creeks and sandbars on a weekend. Family and crew will appreciate the mix of forward loungers, aft seating, and console head, making it just as comfortable for sunset cruises as for serious offshore runs.
