2016 Sea Hunt Escape 235 SE

The Escape 235 SE hits that sweet spot between nimble runabout and small offshore capable hull. The wide beam keeps everyone planted and comfortable when afternoon chop stacks up, and the sharp entry softens the ride at speed. You’ll appreciate the high freeboard when kids are moving around the bow, plus the deep, secure cockpit that feels more like a much larger boat. Storage is cleverly tucked everywhere—under lounges, in the consoles, and in dedicated tackle and gear spaces—so beach toys, snorkel sets, and fishing kits all have a home. The walk-through windshield shields the crew from spray on blustery days, and the transom layout makes it easy to move from cruising to swimming or gearing up to chase a school of fish.

In these waters, conditions can change quickly from glassy morning runs to breezy, choppy afternoons, and the Escape 235 SE is built for that variety. The dual-console design gives you a protected helm and a comfortable companion seat for longer intercoastal cruises, while the open bow is ideal for sandbar rafting and sunset rides. When the urge to fish strikes, the livewell and fish-minded cockpit make quick inshore or nearshore missions simple, without sacrificing family comfort. Its size is ideal for navigating shallow back bays and tighter channels, yet still feels confident running the open stretches between barrier islands or out to nearby reefs. This is a do-it-all platform that really matches how locals use their boats day in and day out.
