Excel 220 Bay Pro Elite

The 2026 Excel Bay Pro Elite 220 is a high-performance aluminum bay boat engineered for anglers, outdoor adventurers, and anyone who demands a versatile, dependable vessel that excels in both fishing and general boating use. It’s built on Excel’s advanced design and heavy-duty construction, making it a standout choice for tackling inshore waters, bays, coastal flats, or even launching remote fishing expeditions.

At its core, the Bay Pro Elite 220 features an all-welded .160-inch thick aluminum hull, the thickest in the bay boat industry, giving it exceptional durability and structural integrity that you’ll notice both on the water and over the long haul. This robust construction, combined with a 14-degree pad hull with lifting strakes and reverse chines, results in a smooth, dry ride, confident handling, and the ability to reach higher speeds than typical bay boats of its size.

With an overall length of 22′ 3″ (24′ 5″ with engine) and a 94″ beam, this boat offers generous deck space for casting, cruising, and moving around comfortably — whether you’re chasing fish or just enjoying time with friends and family. The widened front deck gives anglers room to work while also providing easy access to gear and equipment.

Performance is ready for serious outings with a 225 HP maximum horsepower rating and a 30-gallon fuel capacity, striking a strong balance between power and efficiency on long days of fishing or cruising. With a capacity for up to 8 people and a total loaded weight capability over 2,000 lbs, this boat handles gear, passengers, and equipment with ease.

The Bay Pro Elite 220’s angler-focused layout includes ample storage solutions — from a 45-quart forward fish box/insulated cooler to dedicated rod holders and lockable under-dash storage — keeping your gear organized and ready. Two livewells (a 20 gallon rear livewell and a 16 gallon console livewell) make it practical for keeping bait and catch lively throughout the day.

Comfort and convenience are also prioritized with features like deluxe rear deck jump seats with storage, an ergonomic leaning post with rod holders and cooler mount, a console equipped for large chartplotter/fishfinder electronics, and four mooring cleats for secure docking. The rugged extruded gunwale with a rubber rub rail and accessory-mounting slots add both durability and customization potential.

Whether you’re planning early-morning fishing runs, casting shallow flats at low tide, or cruising with friends and family, the 2026 Excel Bay Pro Elite 220 delivers serious performance, thoughtful design, and rugged reliability in a boat that’s ready for adventure season after season. 

Stylish rigging, impressive floor layout, increased speed, and an improved ride. The console has everything and it is where it should be. The dash will accommodate up to a 12-inch fish finder/nav unit. The dash has room for a 3-inch Bluetooth radio, has extra accessory switches, and the new compact gauge set is arranged perfectly.

You will love our new recessed toe kick that makes it easier to sit behind and move around the console, and the built-in live well with seat cushion and built-in tackle center. This console has room under the dash for up to three large 12V group 27 deep cycle trolling motor batteries.
