2003 Osprey 24 Limited

Step into the pilothouse and you’ll see why these 24s have such a loyal following. The enclosed helm keeps you dry and shaded while still offering great sightlines through large windows and a high, confident seating position. The self-bailing cockpit is deep and secure, giving anglers room to work around the rails, with plenty of space for coolers, dive gear, or crab pots. High freeboard and a sharp entry help this hull track solidly in a chop, while wide side decks and sturdy grab rails make moving forward to the bow safe and easy. It’s a simple, no-nonsense layout built for long days on the water and easy washdowns at the dock.

In these waters, conditions can change from glassy calm to stacked afternoon seas in a hurry, and that’s where a 24-foot pilothouse like this shines. The protected wheelhouse means you’re not baking in the sun during summer runs or getting soaked when a squall blows through. The efficient hull and duo-prop setup pair well with varied local boating—whether you’re running inlet lines, trolling offshore edges, or chasing inshore structure. Its manageable size makes it easy to trailer or tuck into tighter marina spaces, yet it still offers the range and comfort for full days exploring sandbars, reefs, and near-coastal fishing grounds.
