2010 Grady-White Freedom 307

Slide behind the helm and you’ll immediately feel why this 307 has such a loyal following. The deep, secure cockpit and high freeboard keep everyone comfortable when the afternoon chop kicks up, while the wide beam gives you a stable platform whether you’re drifting a reef or rafted up with friends. The big, shaded hardtop makes a huge difference on long days, and the wraparound bow seating feels more like a lounge than a fishing boat. Thoughtful touches are everywhere—well-placed grab rails, wide side decks, and plenty of dry storage so gear and bags stay organized instead of underfoot.

This Freedom 307 is dialed in for local waters where conditions can swing from glassy mornings to breezy, confused seas by midafternoon. The variable deadrise hull softens head seas and stays surprisingly dry when running across open stretches, while the dual-console layout gives family and guests a protected spot to tuck out of the wind. Sandbars, waterfront restaurants, nearshore reefs, and quick offshore runs are all in this boat’s comfort zone. Its size is large enough to feel solid and secure outside the inlet, yet manageable for a single experienced operator to dock in tighter marinas and residential canals.
