Robalo 206 Cayman for sale in Stuart, Florida United States of America

2014 Robalo 206 Cayman

We are pleased to introduce this very well cared-for Robalo 206 Cayman Bay Boat. The 206 Cayman is designed to be a premium-quality bay boat/engine package at a reasonable price. They can be used in the same places that every other bay boat, flats boat, or skiff can be used, but they have some marked advantages over many smaller, older boats. By designing in lots of bow flare, they are intended to be as dry as possible in a low-freeboard bay boat.

• This particular vessel has been stored inside at a dry stack in Manatee Pocket that could be transferred to the new owner. Here are some of her highlights: Aluminum frame around the acrylic windshield.
• Storage for 5-gallon bucket and net.
• Standard 54-quart cooler under leaning post.
• Hydraulic steering.
• Self-bailing cockpit.
• Yamaha F150.
• Yamaha digital gauges.
• Brass high-speed livewell thru-hull pick-up.
• Garmin EchoMap 70s.
• Jensen Stereo.

Additional Features

• The center console unit itself is a work of art with its numerous molded seatbacks and reliefs that add style and utility. There are two storage pans in the top of the console on either side of the standard compass. They have rubber pads in the bottom and are self-draining.

• To port and starboard are stainless steel accessory switches that are compact and not subject to UV degradation as are plastic ones.

• Robalo has done a good job of putting SS railings and hand holds around the console. As guests typically like to stand on the side decks adjacent to the console when underway, these handholds are in the right place. We like the handhold to the port of the steering wheel. It provides a place for the captain to hold on with the left hand when things get rough and take some strain off the wheel. The throttle is set at a typically high, nearly vertical angle. The acrylic windshield is protected by a massive SS railing that should both provide lots of places to hold on, but will also protect the windshield if someone should fall into it. It appears to be one of the strongest in class.

• The forward part of the console molding has a good-sized seat for one plus a cushioned backrest. To the sides are holders for six vertical rods. Under the seat is an 18-gallon livewell, which has an aerated head unit and an overboard drain.

• The stern casting platform has been carefully engineered and built to eliminate any lips or protrusions that might cause an angler to trip. That is perhaps the most important aspect of the 206 Cayman's design here. The two jump seats fold down and rest on solid stops, not relying on their hinges or the cushion to support the lid. That is one important aspect of this casting deck that is not readily apparent. When the seats are down there is one even -- and solid -- surface covered with a diamond tread pattern molded in for non-skid.

• The saltwater washdown bib seen in the outboard well was optional. Just forward of the outboard well on the centerline is a 15-gallon livewell with LED lighting, blue gel coat, rounded corners and aerator. The livewell is covered by an acrylic hatch with latch.

• The casting platform in the bow is much larger than the one aft. But like it, the surface has been carefully built to be perfectly flat and not to have any lips, latches or hinges protruding that might cause an angler to trip. There is a forward hatch that is large enough to hold an 8-lb. Danforth-type anchor and plenty of line. Just forward of this hatch is a plug that has been pre-wired to handle a trolling motor.

• As noted, the 206 Cayman has more bow flare than many bay boats, particularly older ones, and that together with her hard chine carried forward and up the stem, work well together to keep the boat dry. The chine knocks down the waves and throws water out and the topside flare forward stops the spray from going in the cockpit.

Broker's Comments

This is a very functional bay boat. She does better in the bigger chop than most bay designs and seems to be much dryer. She also has terrific "fishing platforms" at each end for stable safe casting. This boat is in great condition and has seen light usage. The upholstery is in fantastic condition. She doesn't come with a trailer, but we can certainly source one for you. If you are local, she can be kept at her current location right in Port Salerno's Manatee Pocket, and that's a big plus! This boat is ready for a new owner and is a real value. Call to schedule a viewing.
