2020 Steiger Craft 23 Miami DV

Step into the pilothouse and you’ll notice how the deep-vee hull and heavy build give this 23-footer the feel of a much larger boat. Wide walkaround side decks and stout bow rails make it easy to work the foredeck when setting the hook or chasing a fish around the bow. The sliding windows and opening front vents let you dial in the breeze on sticky summer days, and when weather turns, you can shut the door and run in comfort. A self-bailing cockpit, high gunnels, and drainable fish boxes keep the work area clean and secure, while the hardtop offers plenty of real estate for adding more rods, lights, or a second screen if you ever want to upgrade the electronics suite.

This 23 Miami DV shines in areas where conditions can swing from flat calm to short, steep chop in a single tide change. The deep-vee hull and substantial weight let you keep your speed up when afternoon winds kick up, while the pilothouse keeps crew dry during spray-filled runs to the grounds. It’s small enough to trailer easily to different ramps yet has the cockpit space and fuel efficiency to make offshore forays realistic. From early-morning inshore trolling to winter bottom fishing and shoulder-season cruising, this layout gives you year-round usability instead of being limited to fair-weather runs.
