Rugged luxury.
by Ken Kreisler
The name Grady-White is synonymous with quality boat building across its model line-up, and the new Canyon 386 center console not only lives up to that reputation but surpasses it.

“The new Canyon 386 builds upon the historic success of the Canyon 376 while drawing the very best design elements from our flagship 456,” says Product Designer Christian Carraway. “She possesses the kind of square footage we’ve been able to create in our design process with an eye toward fishability and luxury.”
Her beam of 13 feet, 2 inches, offers added space, resulting in a roomier cockpit and console interior, an expansive helm and a lean bar full of conveniences like six rod holders, a bait station, tackle trays and an optional grill. With cabin access from the helm, the 386 is a true weekender and easily bridges the gap between hardcore fishing and memorable family outings. The cabin has a separate head and shower, a galley with microwave and refrigerator drawer, air conditioning, a 24-inch television and a dinette table, which converts into a double berth.
The helm’s four adjustable chairs with flip-up bolsters and fold-down arm and footrests are positioned behind the wraparound windshield, providing protection from the elements. Given the room afforded, the sleek black helm itself is impressive with push button controls and room for two flush-mounted screens.
Access to the cockpit is via boarding doors on either side. Across the transom are a pair of 35-gallon live baitwells flanking a 291-quart insulated refrigerator/freezer fishbox with a digitally controlled thermostat, as well as Grady-White’s patented foldaway aft bench seat. And yes, there is a standard Seakeeper 5 aboard.
“The Canyon 386 has quickly become a hit with our customers and dealers alike, and takes our mission of delivering the ultimate boating experience to a new level,” says Joey Weller, VP of sales for Grady-White.
