Andros Boatworks - Tarpon 26

What makes the Tarpon 26 unique? The answer is design. Andros Boatworks spent months consulting with fishermen, researching proven panga designs, and meeting with knowledgeable yacht builders. The result; a full transom fishing machine blending the proven design philosophy of a traditional panga with the precision of a computer aided designed hull. The Tarpon 26 combines the ride and stability of an offshore platform with the shallow draft/running capability of a backcountry flats skiff. 

With a sharp entry and delta pad aft, the Tarpon 26 is fast and efficient, yet able to maintain a steady, smooth ride when seas pick up. The Tarpon 26 pushes the envelope in creativity, and performance results prove it on every sea trial. With the combination of a full transom and a hydraulic bracket, owners can not only run safely in the shallows but can also fine-tune the motor and prop for maximum efficiency.

From the CAD hull to the unique shear, this boat turns heads! The Tarpon 26 comes standard with a long list of rich amenities, and is manufactured using only top quality hardware and materials. With Andros Boatworks, you can completely customize your dream-boat the way you want it! From hull color to mounting hardware, every Andros is built just for you! Begin your next adventure in the Tarpon 26.
