2021 Yellowfin 24 CE Bay

Step aboard and you’ll notice how wide and uncluttered the 24 CE’s deck feels, with raised casting platforms that let you work a shoreline or pothole without dodging hatches and hardware. The stepped hull isn’t just for looks—it softens the ride when an afternoon chop kicks up and helps you stay on plane at lower speeds in the skinny stuff. Rods tuck cleanly out of the way, and the fore and aft storage is laid out so you’re not digging for a net when a fish is at color. The helm ergonomics make long runs easier, with everything in reach whether you’re running the tower or the main console.

In this region’s mix of winding backwaters, open bays, and nearshore structure, the 24 CE hits a sweet spot. The shallow draft lets you slide over bars and flats that deeper hulls can’t touch, yet the stepped design and aggressive running surface are comfortable when you poke out into wind-blown sounds or short, confused chop. There’s plenty of room for multiple anglers to work around the boat without tangling, and the storage layout suits both inshore and light offshore gear. Quick hole shots, easy trim control, and a stable platform at rest make it ideal for hopping between oyster edges, channels, and nearshore reefs in a single day.
