The Grady-White Fisherman 257 is a serious 7.8-metre centre console that bridges the gap between dedicated fishing platform and versatile family boat for Australian waters. With her deep-V SeaV² hull, generous beam and premium Yamaha power, she handles offshore conditions with the confidence of a much larger vessel while remaining nimble and efficient. Built for owners who want one boat that fishes hard, cruises comfortably and holds its value for years to come.
