26 Monterey 2026 Boat for Sale

26' Monterey 2026

This is the kind of boat that lets you leave the dock knowing the day will be easy, flexible, and shared without compromise. If your current setup feels crowded, underpowered, or forces you to choose between entertaining and relaxing, this configuration replaces those trade-offs with a single platform that does both well.

The 2026 Monterey Elite 25 OB Bowrider is built to support full days around Tampa Bay, from cruising the ICW to anchoring off Egmont Key or the Clearwater sandbars without constant adjustment or second-guessing. The deep-V hull with 21° deadrise helps maintain predictable handling when afternoon chop builds across the bay, while the 8’6” beam supports stable movement and comfortable seating throughout the cockpit and bow. Draft stays shallow enough for sandbar access while still providing the hull depth needed for confident open-water cruising.

At the helm, the Simrad 15” ultra-wide navigation display integrates chartplotting, switching, and stereo control in one interface, reducing the need to manage multiple screens while underway. Power-assisted steering and adjustable helm seating keep operation comfortable over longer runs between St. Pete, Clearwater, and Sarasota waters. Wireless charging and integrated power outlets keep devices ready without clutter around the helm.

The cockpit is arranged to support real entertainment. A wet bar with sink and storage keeps food and drink preparation contained, while the cooler and in-floor storage keep the deck open and usable. Seating transitions easily between cruising and relaxing with the convertible aft sunpad and forward bow lounge. The fiberglass hardtop provides consistent shade while integrated RGB lighting supports evening cruising along the waterfront.

An enclosed head with vanity, sink, and porta-potty extends the usable day on the water, especially for couples or families planning longer outings. With dedicated water and waste capacity onboard, the boat supports full-day trips without forcing an early return to the dock.
