CAYO 264 Hybrid Fishing Catamaran - 2020 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

Just sea trialed the 264 Cayo Cat this weekend, was blowing 20 knots in the Keys; superior ride and fit and finish best I've seen in its class. Mini-Freeman is what this boat will be to that discerning buyer...very impressed and is on our short list.

So boats break with bells and whistles? whattttt???

[@NickWilson1023]

you said tidewater rather than tideline on the vid at 4:00

[@GulfSoftwash]

Every single boat has maintenance. The way this is being depicted is that every time you back out of the slip something is going to break. They don’t have a 2+ year wait because their build quality is sub par. I can’t wait to fish my buddies that will be here in a couple months. My 263 Calcutta I have on order will be here next year. You get what you pay for. This isn’t some run of the mill production boat...

Well said! 👆

[@FlatsFisher73]

It would be awesome if there was a video on top 5 small cat's (1824) range.

[@Jonathan_Camps]

In my opinion probably the prettiest and nicest bay catamaran. From everything i’ve heard it rides like a mini Freeman. If I were to build a fishing cat of this size this is exactly how i’d build it. Only thing I hate is the price. 170k to start and probably be 250+ by the time it’d be loaded how i’d run it is just insane. We’re plenty happy with our Contender Bay boat, so unless the price gets driven down, i’d probably never buy it

[@kenbouse8187]

I just bought me a new 26 Go Fish. But the weather has been very snotty here

[@CaptPeterson]

Yep

[@richardhardin191]

please review my 2020 Pathfinder 2600 TRS. Just a forewarning, It has bells and whistles but I keep it over-maintained if there is such a thing. You can do the review on my actual boat if you wish. Would love to hear what the good bad and ugly are. So far, I think I have a winner. I love the Cayo and it's my dream boat but I was able to pay loaded $115K. Every option to include a 16" SIMRAD EV0 3 and twin blades/ipilot terrova.

[@CaptPeterson]

They will need to pay me for a full on the water review:)

[@mkf350]

Capt, which boat would you choose in this category?

[@CaptPeterson]

1375

[@CaptPeterson]

My bad I meant to say SeaCat 260.

[@jefferyrizer3041]

What is your view of the Twin Vee 2019 260SE? Thanks

[@fame0095]

really nice boat, but im happy with my 247 masters. its simple and i beat the crap out of it!!

[@anthony23032]

Not infra-red

[@TheHoff305]

Looks great but would rather get it when it hits the used market, same with Sea Cat 26!

[@CaptPeterson]

Yeah me to.

[@russnurse2b807]

Beautiful boat but all that black is gonna be hot AF!

[@CaptPeterson]

Right 🎯

[@Jassman3536]

The other boat you forgot to mention is the 263 Calcutta...The 264 Cayo is a good looking boat but I like you prefer a more simple build. Low 70's with the 300's on the Cayo is what has been mentioned on The Hull Truth vs the 82 you mentioned.

[@CaptPeterson]

Right. Just reported what the reps stated.

[@dieseldog00]

JJ this is catmando(Everett Cox)how you doing? We've gotten through the pandemic this far. I hope you and your family are doing well.

[@chuckclark6162]

82 was with no t-top & very lightly rigged.

[@nickgabler924]

Do you know the website, I can’t find it

[@CaptPeterson]

They don’t have one

[@bethherter283]

I got one

[@bosarge22]

What makes you keep saying things will break? Can you be specific? Some sub par component, poor craftsmanship? Sounded definitely biased. Said you would destroy it? Really? This is not some old Twin Vee............

[@CaptPeterson]

Cartering is very hard on boats.

[@FT86TT]

300k for a bay boat!

[@CaptPeterson]

I know right. Down right offensive.

[@bucs03fan]

Who's the Debbie downer????

[@Andy-qg7mm]

Did I hear you say the leather?lol

[@hungbeachbum]

300k no thanks

[@CaptPeterson]

I am with you
