2018 Tidewater 2400 Bay Max

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 2400 Bay Max feels bigger than her length, with wide, stable decks that let multiple anglers work a tide line without bumping elbows. The clean, uncluttered cockpit makes it easy to move from bow to stern when a fish runs under the boat. High gunwales give a secure, confident feel when the chop stacks up, while the shallow draft still lets you ease into skinny water. The helm layout keeps everything within easy reach, with clear sightlines whether you’re standing or leaning. It’s a boat that transitions smoothly from early-morning cast net duty to afternoon sandbar hangs without ever feeling out of place.

The 2400 Bay Max is dialed in for areas where your day can swing from glassy backwaters to open, wind-stirred bays in a single tide change. The hull has enough deadrise to soften a short, square chop, yet still floats shallow enough for prowling oyster bars, mangrove edges, and grass flats. Abundant deck space and livewell capacity suit multi-species days when you might chase redfish at first light, then slide to deeper channels for trout or snapper. When the breeze picks up, this model’s predictable handling and dry ride keep runs between spots comfortable, making it a practical, confidence-inspiring choice for local conditions.
