2023 Tidewater 256 CC Adventure

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how much cockpit they’ve carved into 25 feet. The aft bench tucks away cleanly, opening up a huge working deck when it’s time to fish, then pops back out for the ride home. The helm seats have real support, with bolsters that flip up so you can run comfortably standing in a bit of chop. Inside the console, there’s space for a proper head and gear storage, not just a token compartment. Up front, the wraparound seating and forward lounger turn the bow into a relaxed cruising zone, and high freeboard all around keeps everyone feeling secure when the sea gets lumpy.

This 256 CC Adventure shines in local waters where you might hop from shallow bays to open swells in the same day. The hull has enough deadrise to land soft when you push offshore, yet the draft still lets you work near sandbars and inlets without anxiety. Twin 150s give you the confidence to run through afternoon wind chop and still make it back before dark. The generous bow seating is ideal for family sandbar days, while the open stern layout and large livewell let you switch gears to serious fishing when conditions line up. It’s a versatile platform tailored to the mixed conditions you see here.
