The ride
Soft and dry in a Gulf chop
The SeaV² hull is the first thing owners mention. Grady-White has refined it for more than three decades.



Fish Tale Boats × Grady-White
We have sold Grady-White for over 30 years. Come see the lineup, run one on the Gulf, and buy it from the people who will service it.
Why Grady-White
Southwest Florida is hard on boats. Shallow water in the morning, a short, steep chop on the run home, and salt on everything. A boat that lives here has to ride soft, stay dry and hold together for decades.
That is why we chose Grady-White, and why we never stopped. We have been selling Grady-White for over 30 years, and the boats we sold early on still come through our Fort Myers service bays looking cared for.
Whether you want style, comfort, or fishability, Grady-White is the perfect option that provides you with all. Renowned for superior quality, family-friendly designs, and durable fiberglass construction, Grady-White has been the gold standard in sportfishing boats for decades.
Fish Tale Boats is proud to be an authorized Grady-White dealership serving Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and all of Southwest Florida. Every Grady-White is backed by our award-winning service department with factory-trained technicians.
SeaV² hull · underwayThe ride
The SeaV² hull is the first thing owners mention. Grady-White has refined it for more than three decades.
The build
Every Grady-White is built there, as it has been since 1959. Materials and finish are picked for years on salt water.
The layout
Rod storage, livewells, shade and real seating, placed where you reach for them. It fishes hard and still carries the family.
The value
Grady-Whites hold their value well. That matters the day you trade up, and most owners eventually do.
The water
Grady-White puts its name behind sportsmanship and fisheries conservation. We plan to keep fishing here too.
The people
Owner clubs, tournaments and outings. Around here it looks like a sandbar on Saturday and a tuna run the week after.
