CAIRO, Ga. (August 5, 2026) – Sailfish Boats proudly announces the launch of the all-new 256 Dual Console, a versatile, purpose-built platform that seamlessly brings together offshore capabilities, family comfort, and all-day entertainment. Designed for boaters who want one boat that truly does it all, the 256 DC delivers confident performance offshore while creating a welcoming, adaptable space for family and friends. 

The 256 DC reflects how people, use their boats today: early morning fishing runs, afternoons at the sandbar, and sunset cruises with family. Every feature has been thoughtfully engineered to support that full range of experiences without compromise. 

Designed for Real-World Versatility 

At the heart of the 256 DC is a highly adaptable layout that makes transitioning between activities effortless. A standard port-side boarding door provides easy access for guests, swimmers, and bringing in the day’s catch.


In the cockpit, a 4-position port-side seat adjusts to match the moment, flipping forward facing for cruising, aft-facing for socializing, or laid flat for lounging. The result is a space that works just as well for casting lines as it does for relaxing with family. 

An optional entertainment center enhances onboard hosting with a sink, cutting board, and a slide-out cooler, keeping everything organized and within reach for a full day on the water. 

Built to Fish. Ready to Cruise. 

True to Sailfish’s heritage, the 256 DC is equipped for serious fishing. Clean deck space, smart storage, and thoughtful access points make it easy to stay focused when the bite turns on. 

When it’s time to shift gears, the same space quickly becomes an inviting gathering area. The open layout encourages conversation, movement, and comfort—whether anchored at the sandbar or cruising with a full crew onboard. 

Confident Offshore Performance 

The 256 DC offers single or twin outboard configurations up to 400 HP, delivering the power and efficiency needed for offshore runs and long days exploring. For added comfort underway, the optional Seakeeper Ride system actively reduces pitch and roll, helping maintain a smoother, more controlled ride in changing conditions. 

A Helm That Keeps You in Control 

The helm is designed with the captain in mind, offering space for twin 12-inch displays to keep navigation, sonar, and system data clearly in view. A standard sport windshield provides protection while maintaining an open feel, with an available full-height windshield for added coverage during early runs or rougher conditions. 

Comfort That Lasts All Day 

From morning departures to late afternoon returns, the 256 DC is built to keep everyone comfortable. An enclosed, lockable porta potti head with pump-out, standard, or upgrade to an optional electric upgrade. A wide 8'10" beam and 150-gallon fuel capacity provide the space and range needed for longer, more enjoyable days on the water.

Proven Sailfish Construction 

Like every Sailfish model, the 256 DC is built on the company’s Variable Degree Stepped (VDS) hull, delivering a smooth, dry ride with the confidence to handle offshore conditions.  Combined with Sailtech Construction, featuring advanced materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber, the result is a strong, lightweight build designed for durability and performance. 

The Sailfish 256 Dual Console is built for boaters who want the freedom to fish hard, relax fully and bring everyone along for the ride.
