Buying a family boat is a big investment—both financially and in the time you’ll spend making memories on the water. With so many options available, it’s important to choose a boat that’s versatile, comfortable, and designed with real families in mind. At Crevalle, every model is built to deliver performance and comfort for both serious fishing and family fun.
Here are the key features that make a boat perfect for family use—and how Crevalle delivers on each one.
Big Enough for the Whole Family
Your boat should comfortably accommodate your family—plus a few friends. While some 17-foot models offer basic seating, a 24-foot hybrid bay boat or larger will offer more comfort and flexibility for longer outings or entertaining.
Spacious and Comfortable Seating
Crevalle’s hybrid models offer thoughtful seating throughout the boat, with options that double as storage. Every model from the 24 HCO up to the 33 CSF includes:
- A 40″ aft bench that seats two adults or three kids—elevated for a fun ride through the waves
- Optional bow cushions and removable backrests for lounging
- Cushioned helm bench seating for two
The 33 CSF adds even more seating with a second helm station, L-lounge cockpit seating, and optional sundeck cushions.
Personal Comforts
Planning to spend full days on the water? Choose a boat with amenities to keep everyone comfortable. Crevalle offers add-on accessories like a porta-potty in the center console and, on the 33 CSF, a built-in hardtop freshwater shower to rinse off saltwater after a swim.
Onboard Dining
Every Crevalle model includes multiple cooler options for keeping food and drinks fresh. These coolers also double as livewells, letting you seamlessly shift from lunch to fishing.
Each model includes food prep areas as well:
- 24 HCO, 26 HCO, and 26 HBW feature a sink behind the helm
- 33 CSF includes a fold-out freshwater sink and cutting boards in the aft area
Optional acrylic tables are also available to make onboard dining more comfortable.
Weather Protection
All Crevalle models include standard or optional weather features so you can enjoy your time on the water even when conditions change. Key options include:
- Hardtop helms on all models
- 33 CSF: Fully enclosed center console
- 26 HCO: Console hatch for quick access
- 26 HBW: Three-piece glass enclosure and hardtop
- 24 HCO: Optional windscreen compatible with its covered top
Inshore and Offshore Versatility
Crevalle boats are hybrid by design—built for both inshore and offshore activities. Whether you’re fishing near the flats or cruising the open Gulf, Crevalle’s hull designs give you a smooth, stable ride in a wide variety of conditions.
Great for Water Sports
Every model includes a swim platform for easy boarding after swimming, tubing, or just cooling off. Family fun comes standard.
Durability
All Crevalle models are built from 100% composite materials—no wood, no rot. Infused fiberglass hulls provide strength and stability, making them ideal for both calm and choppy waters. This ensures long-lasting performance and safety for years of family adventures.
