2024 Caymas 281 HB

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the 281 HB is laid out for real-world days on the water. The wide, level cockpit gives you room to dance around a hot bite without tangling lines, while the elevated forward casting deck doubles as a lounging zone once the rods are stowed. Storage is everywhere—deep, gasketed compartments ready for cast nets, dive gear, and beach bags. The ergonomics at the helm feel more like a big-water center console, with plenty of protection behind the windshield and room to stand or sit comfortably on the bolstered leaning post. At anchor, the boat settles predictably and quietly, making it as pleasant for a sunset raft‑up as it is serious on a pre-dawn run.

The 281 HB shines in waters where you might jump from skinny flats to open swells in a single day. Its hybrid layout lets you nose into shallow coves for swimming or sight-fishing, then confidently push outside when the forecast cooperates. The length and beam give a reassuring ride when afternoon chop kicks up, yet it’s still manageable to trailer, launch, and store without needing a full marina staff. Families will appreciate the comfortable seating and enclosed head on longer outings, while anglers get the advantage of elevated casting platforms, livewell capacity, and efficient range to reach distant structure and nearshore reefs without constant fuel stops.
