Have you been aboard the NorthCoast 255HT

"We are so proud of the new 255HT. I know you’ll be pleased whether you plan to fish it hard or go cruising once in a while. Alone in it’s class the 255HT has a private stand alone head below and sleeps two comfortably. The hull is designed beautifully to be dry and soft in the worst conditions. Our niche is that we build boats larger than the competition, real boats, for real boaters, without all the fluff. It should make NorthCoast Owners very proud when they step aboard- and probably sad to leave when they go home.

Like the 285HT the new 255HT is clean and simple, standing head and shoulders above the rest, is all about being rugged, versatile, and performing beyond expectation. Equipped with all the important features required by inshore or offshore fishermen- we provide all the tools you need to fish. The cockpit is uncluttered and massive- with two large macerated “in deck” fish boxes.

The 255 is built for speed (hit 60mph during sea trials) to get you to the offshore grounds quickly and comfortably. Although her quality is seen, the feeling of a solid boat under your feet is reassuring when offshore with friends or family, as weather conditions can sometimes deteriorate, your confidence to keep fishing is founded in NorthCoast Boats solid reputation.

FISHING LIFESTYLE

There's something magical about casting off into the Atlantic at dawn, the sky painted in hues of orange, pink, and gold. On a NorthCoast boat—renowned for their reliability and craftsmanship—this experience becomes an unforgettable New England adventure, especially during summer when the ocean teems with life.

As you glide out of the harbor in the pre-dawn calm, the crisp summer air carries the salty tang of the sea. The hum of the boat’s engine is a steady rhythm against the quiet stillness. The waters of New England, particularly off the coasts of Rhode Island, Cape Cod, and Nantucket, are rich with possibilities during this season. Tuna and marlin, prized by anglers, follow the warm Gulf Stream currents, while playful dolphins dance in the boat’s wake, and majestic whales breach in the distance.

The rising sun casts a shimmering path across the waves, and the first bite of the day sends a thrill through the air. Reeling in a powerful bluefin tuna tests strength and endurance—a battle between angler and ocean. For those chasing marlin, their dramatic leaps and agility create a heart-pounding spectacle. Each catch is a story, an achievement etched in memory.

But it’s not just the fishing that captivates. The camaraderie of friends and family aboard the NorthCoast boat adds warmth to the adventure. Sharing stories, laughter, and the occasional splash from an enthusiastic dolphin creates a bond that lasts long after the boat returns to shore.

As the day progresses, the ocean becomes a playground, with opportunities to witness New England’s incredible marine life up close. Every moment, from the thrill of the catch to the serene beauty of the seascape, is a reminder of nature's wonders.

Fishing at sunrise in New England isn't just a pastime—it's a celebration of life, adventure, and the incredible bounty of the sea.
