As an avid angler, nothing excites me more than the thought of a new fishing vessel that couples functionality with style. The recent addition from Robalo Boats, the Bay Series 266 Cayman 2024, promises just that, and I must say it doesn't disappoint.
The 266 Cayman begins to impress right from the outset, with its sleek and dynamic design, accompanied by a premium white gel coat on the hull, deck and hardtop. The fish hook graphic adds a subtle touch hinting at the boat's purpose. The fiberglass hardtop featuring a custom powder-coated frame gives the boat an air of robustness and is stylishly functional with integrated electronics boxes and tri-color map lights.
The forward-thinking design extends to the boat's dash and electrical components. The helm features digital gauges and a 12V DC receptacle. The navigation lights are LED-based, further enhancing visibility for those early morning or late-night voyages. Among the key electrical features is a dual battery system with a crossover switch and Voltage Sensing Relay (VSR) - significant battery provisions for every angler out there. The wiring for a 24 or 36 Volt Bow Trolling Motor is thoughtfully provided as well.
The boat’s console is both practical and comfortable, featuring an integrated dual level footrest, overhead lighting, lockable glovebox, phone holder, and wireless charger. The generous fiberglass head pan with non-skid surfaces provides an added level of safety, while the lockable console door promises security for your belongings.
The functional design continues with the cockpit, with several features to accommodate the fishing lifestyle like LED blue courtesy lights, folding backrests, storage compartments, rod holders, self-bailing structure with integrated drain fittings, and much much more. The twin aft insulated livewell/fish boxes, horizontal rod storage, bow center insulated livewell, specific livewell pumps and multiple stainless steel grab rails and drink holders, all carry the promise of a successful day out fishing.
The 266 Cayman extends its long list of features with a series of utility add-ons. The freshwater shower system and raw water washdown system serve practical purposes, especially after a long day on water, so does the portable fire extinguisher. The fiberglass structural system and Kevlar-reinforced hull ensure the vessel's durability and longevity. The boat comes with an aluminum trailer with all the essentials, further enhancing portability and convenience.
Conclusively, the 266 Cayman's features, coupled with its stylish design, make it a worthy contender among the fiberglass fishing boats in 2024. It promises an experience that meets all the expectations of any serious angler while ensuring a smooth, comfortable boating experience. With its vast array of amenities, the Bay Series 266 Cayman justifies its price, delivering value for every penny.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
