2017 ROBALO BOATS 226 CAYMAN

The 2017 Robalo 226 Cayman is widely regarded as the boat that perfected the "Bay Hybrid" formula. Engineered with Robalo’s signature Extended V-Plane hull, this 22-footer offers the stability and shallow-draft capabilities of a flat-bottom bay boat with the seaworthiness of a deep-V offshore center console.

Whether you are poling through a foot and a half of water or crossing a choppy bay to get to the reef, the 226 Cayman is built to handle it with a dry, confident ride.

Hull Design & Performance
The standout feature of the 2017 model is the Extended V-Plane. By extending the hull surface past the transom, Robalo achieved several key performance benefits:

Instant Planing: The boat stays level and gets on plane with minimal bow rise, even in shallow water.

Fuel Efficiency: It sips fuel at a comfortable cruise of 28–32 mph, typically powered by a reliable Yamaha F200 or F250.

Stability at Rest: The wide beam and hull extensions make this an incredibly stable platform for multiple anglers moving around the deck.

The Ultimate Fishing Layout
The 226 Cayman was designed by fishermen, for fishermen. The layout is clean, wide-open, and packed with professional-grade features:

Triple Livewell System: You’ll find three insulated livewells (two aft and one forward) totaling over 60 gallons of capacity, allowing for separate baits and a dedicated tournament release well.

Massive Casting Decks: Both the bow and aft decks are oversized and flush-mounted, providing a "bass boat" feel with saltwater durability.

Rod Storage: Includes locking rod lockers that can accommodate sticks up to 8 feet long, plus additional vertical rod holders on the console.

Family-Friendly Versatility
While it is a fishing machine first, the 226 Cayman doesn't forget the family.

Seating for Seven: Featuring a unique flip-up double bench seat in the aft deck and comfortable forward-facing seating in the bow.

The "Privacy" Console: The console door opens forward to reveal a surprisingly deep storage area that is pre-wired for a portable head—a rare find on a 22-foot bay boat.

Stainless Hardware: Every cleat is pull-up, and every rail is high-grade stainless steel, ensuring the boat looks as good at the sandbar as it does at the weigh-in.
