Grady-White 231 Coastal Explorer Walkthrough

We climbed aboard the new Grady-White 231 Coastal Explorer at her Miami debut.

The latest model in Grady-White’s Coastal Explorer series is the smallest one yet but don’t underestimate this 23-foot bay boat. Grady-White managed to bring the best features of the larger Coastal Explorers into the 231; it’s well equipped and ready to fish and cruise with the family.

Ferretti 800

This new 80-footer is sleeker than you’re accustomed, but still a Ferretti in every way.

A Boy and a Boat

In 1957, teenager Tom Ireland set out on a 1,500-mile journey from Long Island to Miami aboard a 13-foot Speedliner with a 25-hp outboard. What happened next even Mark Twain couldn’t make up.
