2026 Caymas Boats 281 HB

Designed for serious anglers and family adventures alike, the HB delivers top-tier fishability, sleek styling, and ultimate comfort.

The new Caymas HB is a perfect combination of pro-level fishability, distinctive contemporary styling, and family-focused comfort. Our hybrid (HB) boats are the ideal blend between a bay boat and an offshore center console. Perfect for the angler who wants to make a long run offshore and fish the shallows on the way back, the 281 HB provides a versatile platform to target almost any species.

Performance starts with a Michael Peters double Stepped-Vee Ventilated Tunnel hull. This patented hull delivers speed, fuel efficiency, and a precise, dry ride.

Featuring the same fishing amenities as the 281 HB—huge nonskid casting deck, massive built-in storage compartments for tackle and gear, 35-gallon livewells, and backlit console display—the 281 HB offers the safety and reliability of twin engines and a standard 150-gallon fuel tank, with an optional 50-gallon auxiliary fuel tank for those long days on the water.

Family and friends who hop aboard for a day of fun will love the 281 HB’s U-shaped bow seating, centerline flip-up stern seating, 9’-4” beam, high freeboard and deep gunnels for added safety and security, premium stereo system options, and butter-soft ride. See for yourself how the Caymas 281 HB boasts the best in marine fit and finish, utilizing the highest quality marine hardware and craftsmanship.

The Caymas 281 HB can be rigged with Yamaha, Mercury, or Suzuki outboards up to 600 horsepower.
