2027 NorthCoast 255HT Classic Pilothouse Lines. Serious Fishing Capability. Unexpected Comfort.

Sporting timeless NorthCoast lines with a private head, the all-new 255HT delivers the next step up from the popular 235HT. Designed for anglers and cruisers who want more space, weather protection, and overnight capability without sacrificing performance, this 25-footer sleeps two comfortably (75" berth length) and offers a full 6'2" of headroom at the helm.

Finished in striking Whisper Grey hull color, this example features a thoughtfully selected list of upgrades that enhance both fishing performance and onboard enjoyment.

A wide-open pilothouse and cockpit layout provides excellent 360° visibility and substantial room for fishing or relaxed cruising. The walk-through transom door makes boarding big fish easy, while the longer, wider cockpit gives serious anglers the room they need to fight and land fish in comfort.
