2018 Contender 25 Bay

Born in the Biscayne bay, and built to fish.

The 25 Bay is the perfect boat for those who love offshore fishing on calm days, and cruising around inshore on the bay. Developed with a fully customizable dashboard with livewells and jump seats at the aft, and seating up front along with a deck for a trolling motor.

Offshore fishing is a lifestyle that we celebrate with our boats and our dedication to building a better fishing experience. This same attention to detail went into understanding fishing in the bay. Build a boat for the bay that will stand the test of time and last generations.

The 25' Bay is the perfect machine for those long runs to the back of Florida Bay, or the drive across a bumpy Biscayne Bay when the breeze builds to blustery. A smooth fast dry ride is what makes a Contender the favorite of sports fisherman everywhere. Built to fish, and built to last, a Contender gets the job done on the bay.

The high performance hull and generous 25’6” LOA combine to deliver an extremely smooth and dry ride. Among its most impressive characteristics, however, may be its speed and efficiency. Top end is high 60’s with the single Yamaha F300 with very little fuel burn, and with an option for a F350, it appeals to the speed demon and fuel conscious buyers alike. In keeping with Contender’s tradition of hard-­-core fishing boats, the 25 Bay offers all of the amenities you would expect in a larger bay boat, while incorporating some previously unseen features to accommodate the whole family, too.

The large casting platforms – forward and aft – provide ample room for several fishermen without ever feeling crowded. The use of covering boards and bolster pads along the full length of the cockpit mean that you will never beat up your knees while fighting a fish from inside the boat.

Breeze back in your bay with 25' of bay boat beauty. Rigged with flush mount gunnel rod holders, under gunnel rod racks, over 40 gallons of livewell and 180 quarts of insulated fish boxes, you’ll be bringing back the bay bounty with enough space to keep everything dry when it rains. Bring back the bounty by preparing with bait, ice, dry and cold food storage, and all the creature comforts you need to make for a great day on the water in this best bet little bay beauty.
