NauticStar 265 XTS
A Larger Bay Boat for Optimal Fishability
NauticStar has produced some of the best designed bay boats on the market, but they have taken things a bit further with their newest model. NauticStar 265 XTS boats for sale prove that all bay boats do not have to be basic small vessels. This boat makes both inshore and offshore fishing more enjoyable for everyone with features that improve the experience. For your next high performance bay boat, this is the one to get.
Power and Performance
For NauticStar 265 XTS boats, one engine brand remains their top choice. Yamaha is known for producing fuel efficient, high performance outboard motors that exceed EPA regulations leading to a cleaner environment. That is important to boaters from all genres and for this boat, owners can choose the right outboards with up to 350 HP to play around with. When the single engine configuration is combined with the small draft of 16” and a high intensity deep V hull, the NauticStar 265 XTS outperforms most comparable bay boats for a speedy and fun dry ride every time.
At the Helm
The helm station onboard NauticStar 265 XTS boats is not typical of standard bay boats in the industry, but maintains much the same function as the larger, and more expensive center consoles. With space for up to two flush mounted 14” navigation screens and a variety of integrated backlit switches, everything is easy to reach and easy to use onboard the vessel.
Clever design has been integrated into the boat’s leaning post as well with dual seating equipped with a non-slip footrest, armrests and individual flip up bolsters. Beneath the leaning post where most bay boat companies integrate a removable cooler, NauticStar has chosen to utilize a bait station. Drawers beneath the seat provide ample storage and the 21 gallon bait well keep gear tucked away easily. With the addition of four rocket launchers, anglers have a significant hand when prepping rods.
Casting Decks
Aft the NauticStar 265 XTS, anglers enjoy a multi purpose casting deck with storage integrated into the space as well as three flip up jump seats each with their own cupholders and hard backs to provide a smooth casting deck when fishing. An additional aft step makes for an easy way to get on and off the boat and also enables an angler to have a nice foot hold when reeling in a big catch.
Another casting deck is located in the bow of the boat with integrated 43 gallon fish box and lockable storage beneath. This space houses rod storage for up to six poles on either side of the casting deck to accommodate more equipment and work in conjunction with port and starboard side under gunnel rod storage and vertical storage at the leaning post.
