2023 Shallow Water Bay Boat Active Seagull Model

1. What are bay boats?

Similar to the decks we are familiar with, bay boats are also multi-purpose recreational boats. Usually we can see them in shallow waters such as shorelines, lakes and rivers. With the pointed V-shaped bow, bay boats have certain ability to handle waves. The shallow draft makes them ideal for shallow water travel. They are also usually equipped with more comfortable seats to give the user more comfort.

Compared to the deck boats with mostly side console design, bay boats prefer center console design. This design allows the boat to not only have a more stable running effect, but also provide 360 degrees of unobstructed water for the helmsman and passengers. Both the former’s driving and the latter’s fishing activities can be smoother.

2. What is a bay boat used for?

Based on the V-shaped hull and shallow draft design of the bay boat, the bay boat has become a regular visitor to shallow waters. The open layout and multi-functional design give bay boats a strong connection with most water sports.

First of all, the more spacious storage space and the central console design give anglers hope. More fishing equipment such as live wells, rod holders and trolling motors have also been brought on board the bay boat. Most importantly, bay boats are not only able to navigate easily in shallow waters, but also handle salt water in coastal waters properly. Therefore, they are also strong candidates for popular boats for fishing.

Of course, leisure activities such as cruising and sightseeing are also good for the body and mind, and Bay boats have become friendly travel partners for explorers with their ability to handle a wide range of water conditions.

In addition, bay boats usually sail at speeds above 30 mph, which also exceeds the minimum speed limit required for water skiing, rafting and other sports. Therefore, it is a good choice to use it to engage in some water activities occasionally.

3. How much is a bay boat?

As a multifunctional leisure boat, the price of bay boat is also comparable to that of deck boat. However, unlike other boats whose price is mostly affected by size and material, bay boats will have more of a premium due to the brand. Typically, the price of a brand new bay boat can range from $20,000 to $100,000.

4. Can a bay boat go offshore?

Bay boats, as their name suggests, are designed for shallower waters like bays, supporting navigation not only in bays, inlets and inshore areas, but also with the ability to travel several miles on the surface. the V-shaped hull allows them to handle small wind and waves with care.

However, we are not in favor of driving bay boats in deep waters. Because the size of bay boats are usually relatively small, the light weight and limited equipment and fuel tanks are not enough to support them to stay stable in the rough blue sea area.
