Crevalle 26 HCO
This bigger bay boat is better.

With the previously launched Crevalle 24 HCO a hit with its owners, the only thing to do for this builder was to go bigger.

Adding more room, features and power, the Crevalle 26 HCO is the kind of bay boat that is as versatile inshore as she is offshore or out for a day of cruising.
“The Crevalle 26 HCO delivers on the promise of a hybrid family fishing boat for the hardcore fishermen,” says Mark Felhofer of Bay Marine.
Her flexibility as a family boat and fishing platform is apparent from bow to stern. Construction-wise she is sturdy resin-infused composite-built to take the elements, and the company stands behind its products, as evidenced by the 10-year transferable hull warranty.
Standard features include a custom forward deck cushion package with an easily removable/reversible molded backrest, a portside swim platform with a telescoping stainless steel ladder and dual 12-inch Garmin or Simrad multifunction displays.
Fishing features abound, including pre-wiring for a trolling motor, a trio of livewells, a custom fiberglass leaning post with rigging tray, tackle storage, a sink, a removable cooler and four rod holders.
Captain the boat underneath the protection of the MY 2024 fiberglass hardtop with a powder-coated frame, three-sided embedded glass, overhead LED lights, a mister system and two speakers. Outboard power options include a choice of Yamaha, Mercury or Suzuki.
“As equally impressive as its functionality is, the ride eats up rough water,” Felhofer adds.
Comfortable with its boutique boat builder profile, Crevalle has honed its expertise away from mass production and instead focuses on each individual boat and the needs of its owner. The Crevalle 26 HCO is a prime example of the company’s building principles, and once you take a ride, you’ll see why.
