2021 Yamaha Boats 255 XD

Slip behind the wheel of this 255 XD and the first thing you notice is how dialed-in everything feels for a serious day on the water. With only 64 hours and dealer-maintained from day one, it still has that “new boat” tightness in the controls and hardware. The helm layout is intuitive, with the Connext screen complemented by clean, simple switchgear and great sightlines over the bow. The upgraded stereo and fresh batteries mean you can run your playlists and accessories all day without worrying about power. The full OEM cover and galvanized trailer speak to an owner who cared about protection on and off the water, so the gelcoat, upholstery, and fittings present far better than most boats of this age.

A 255 XD is an ideal match for waters where conditions can change from calm coves to choppier open stretches in a single outing. The deep, secure cockpit and generous freeboard keep family and crew comfortable when afternoon winds pick up, while the jet drive’s shallow draft lets you explore tighter inlets and sandbars with confidence. Twin engines give you the punch to pull riders up fast and hold speed in variable water, and the wide swim platform with integrated seating turns every stop into a social hub. Add in easy trailering on the galvanized trailer, and this boat adapts seamlessly to different ramps, marinas, and freshwater or brackish environments.
