This is our second Grady, we tried another brand and were disappointed in many aspects - we then traded it in for the 251. The Grady-White 251 Coastal Express excels in fishability and has a very well-designed hull for superior performance and comfort in the rough stuff. Its layout combines functionality with great looks. Big kudos to the Naples Boat Mart team for their outstanding sales and service, making this boat purchase another top-notch experience!
December 16, 2023 - gradywhite.comI have 17 grandkids who love to visit the coast, and this boat allows us to spend more time on the water; with the nice seating arrangement, the front folding ladder sand baring has become much easier. Love it.
December 12, 2023 - gradywhite.comMy wife and I just purchased our fourth new Grady-White Coastal Explorer and we are very happy. The Coastal Explorer fits our family and the way we boat. We enjoy cruising and entertaining, anchoring up for the day at the island, and the occasional overnight trip in to visit some of our favorite destinations like Beaufort, NC, Bald Head Island, NC, and Charleston, SC. Our dealer, Atlantic Marine in North Carolina, has been provided an exceptional experience each time!
