Bay & Bluewater is a optional interior, maximized for fishability. She is built on the highly-regarded Albury Brothers 23 hull, the same hull our rough water reputation was built on. With the Bay & Bluewater, you can fish anywhere…from the flats, out into the open ocean. The Bay & Bluewater is built with dual 13 gallon live wells in her aft corners. Optional is a 30 gallon livewell leaning post helm seat. Additional fittings for portable livewells can also be added. The forward seats are gone, replaced with a casting platform which incorporates a second large fish box.
Inshore? Offshore? Everywhere. The Bay & Bluewater 23 can take you anywhere, from the flats, out into the open ocean. Fish the locks on your way through Lake Okeechobee, then pop out on either coast and head offshore for a day of tight lines. She draws 16”. On a falling tide, you may have to leave the flat 20 minutes earlier than other bay boats…but isn’t that small compromise worth it to get offshore capability? Equipped with a set of outriggers, she is capable of pulling a full spread of 7 lines without a tangle. Add the folding dual station “Key West” top to help find those weed patches or Cobia on the beach. How about a trolling motor on the bow to navigate the flats and take advantage of GPS anchoring while kites are out? There is always more room for additional live wells, power poles, trim tabs, a jack plate, electric reel outlets, and additional transducers.
Another Bay & Bluewater configuration we call “Skiff”. We use the narrower console and livewell/leaning post originally designed for our 20 to create extra fishing room inside. Without a Top, she’s perfect for fly fishing. Add a T-top and go after any species. There is plenty of room to fight, and boat, your catch.
Testimonials
Albury 23 is a truly impressive boat. Handles both a head & following sea with equal adeptness...like where did the waves go? Handled 3-6’ seas amazingly, way better than our old 24 Grady. Thanks for a great job.
Just wanted to say, after three seasons, I am still tremendously enjoying my Albury 23. She has a wonderful kindness in a sea and is truly reliable - and she always turns heads. I've had people come down the dock just to see her and find out where she came from. I'm running charters on her now. The customers are always impressed, as I continue to be.

Those who have ridden on the boat or fished with us are universally impressed by the ride….she just goes and goes…solid as a rock.

The boat (27) eats big chop, we call her chopasaurus…caught and released an Atlantic long bill spearfish on the boat yesterday in very rough seas. The boat handled very well. Having the engines close to the transom made the difference on 6 or 7 occasions when the fish streaked under the boat and I had to bring the rod around the back to switch sides.
Sunday we took my mother-87, father-87 and uncle-92 (2 on wheel chairs) out for a spin. Total 12 people on the boat. Everyone had a seat and loved the ride. Try that on a Contender.

Boating since 1962…the Albury is without a doubt the softest, nicest riding boat I have ever been on, period…you have a wonderful crew working at your shop. It is obvious that they all take great pride in building the boats. (1 year later) you take care of the customer after the sale…rare thing that anyone would go to the lengths you have to correct a minor situation…you went way over the top.

The more I use her, the more I like her.
