Caymas 24 HB
Hybrid bay boats continue to blur the lines between inshore, nearshore, and family-friendly platforms, and the Caymas 24 HB is a strong example of how far that category has come. We shot a walkthrough of the 24 HB at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, and it’s clear this boat is designed for anglers who want shallow-water access, real fishability, and enough comfort to keep everyone happy when the rods are stowed.
At 24 feet, the 24 HB sits squarely in the “do-it-all” sweet spot. It’s small enough to fish skinny water and trailer easily, but big enough to feel comfortable running across open bays, sounds, and nearshore stretches when conditions allow. That versatility makes it especially appealing for Northeast anglers who bounce between back bays, tidal rivers, and protected coastal waters throughout the season.
The Caymas 24 HB blends bay-boat efficiency with hybrid versatility, offering shallow-water access, a stable ride, and a layout that works for both fishing and family days.
What stands out immediately is the layout. The cockpit is open and easy to move around, with smart storage and fishing features that don’t get in the way when you’re just cruising. Elevated casting decks fore and aft give anglers clear working space for sight-fishing, jigging, or tossing topwaters, while fold-away seating keeps the deck clean when it’s time to fish.
Forward, the bow area balances fishability and comfort. The casting deck converts easily into seating with cushions in place, making it just as usable for a drift along a shoreline as it is for a sandbar stop or sunset cruise. It’s a setup that reflects how many anglers actually use their boats—fishing hard for part of the day, then switching gears without feeling cramped or cluttered.
At the helm, the 24 HB keeps things simple and functional. There’s room for modern electronics, a clean switch layout, and good visibility, whether you’re idling through a no-wake zone or running across open water. The overall feel is practical and purposeful, without unnecessary complexity.

Why the Caymas 24 HB Works in Northeastern Waters
From tidal rivers and back bays to protected coastal waters, Northeast anglers often need a boat that can adapt quickly to changing conditions and fishing plans. The Caymas 24 HB’s shallow draft opens up water that deeper-V boats can’t reach, while its size and hull design still provide enough confidence to run exposed stretches when the weather cooperates.
It’s an ideal platform for anglers chasing striped bass, fluke, school bluefin close to shore, or simply spending long summer days exploring the bays with family aboard. For those looking for one boat that can cover a lot of ground—both literally and figuratively—the 24 HB makes a strong first impression.
