Custom Order Opportunity: 2026 Grady-White Adventure 218
The Modern Walkaround | All-Weather Capability | Compact Offshore Authority
The Grady-White Adventure 218 is the reimagined evolution of the classic walkaround, designed to offer the protection and utility of a cabin boat in a nimble, 21-foot package. Built on the legendary SeaV2® hull, the 218 is the perfect "Connecticut commuter," allowing you to stay dry and out of the wind during those brisk spring morning striper runs or late autumn cruises. It is the premier choice for the boater who needs a manageable vessel that can still handle the unpredictable "Sound chop" with total confidence.
While we do not have this unit in our current stock, we are now accepting custom orders. Build an Adventure 218 that is perfectly dialed in for your lifestyle on the Long Island Sound.
The Foundation: Stability & Proven Performance
SeaV2® Hull Excellence: Grady’s signature variable-degree deadrise hull provides a sharp entry to slice through waves while maintaining a stable, dry ride that feels like a much larger boat.
Beamy & Spacious: With an 8' 6" beam, the 218 offers a significantly larger cockpit and cabin than other boats in the 21-foot class, providing unmatched stability at rest.
Optimized Yamaha Power: Command the water with a reliable Yamaha F200 or upgrade to the Yamaha F250 for extra torque and top-end performance when running against the heavy tides of the Eastern Sound.
Tailored Tech & Navigation
The Adventure 218 features a modern, ergonomically designed helm with exceptional visibility through its integrated glass windshield. Through Boats Inc., we help you rig your build with the latest technology:
Digital Command Center: The dash is built to accommodate a Garmin 12-inch 8600-series touchscreen, putting your CHIRP sonar, high-definition radar, and engine data right at your fingertips.
Precision Maneuverability: Available with Yamaha Helm Master EX®, making docking at our Niantic waterfront or navigating tight marina slips effortless for boaters of all experience levels.
Extend Your Season: Add the optional hardtop with full canvas enclosures to stay warm and dry, effectively extending your boating season from early April through the final fall run.
The Ultimate Cabin & Comfort Space
Versatile Cabin: The 218 features a surprisingly spacious cabin with a comfortable V-berth, dedicated storage for fishing rods and gear, and a portable head.
Innovative Aft Seating: Features Grady-White’s patented swivel aft seats with folding backrests, allowing you to easily transition the cockpit from a fishing platform to a comfortable social space.
Storage-Focused Design: Includes twin 100-quart insulated fish boxes under the helm and companion seats, ensuring your catch or your drinks stay cold all day.
