Discover the Grady-White Canyon 386 at South Shore Marine: A Perfect Blend of Fishing Power and Cruising Luxury for Great Lakes Adventures
For over 35 years, South Shore Marine in Huron, Ohio, has helped boaters in the Great Lakes experience the thrill, serenity, and adventure of life on the water. We proudly introduce the Grady White Canyon 386, a celebrated center console that combines Grady-White’s renowned SeaV2® hull with luxury and battle-ready fishing features. Designed to handle everything from serious offshore fishing to leisurely cruises, the Canyon 386 offers an expansive layout, top-of-the-line features, and exceptional versatility—perfect for your next Great Lakes adventure.
Engineered for Power and Performance
The Canyon 386 is built on Grady-White’s legendary SeaV2® hull, known for stability, smooth handling, and superior performance. On the Great Lakes, this hull technology delivers peace of mind and comfort, even when navigating choppy waters. Powered by triple Yamaha 450 XTO engines, this boat brings robust power and acceleration, allowing you to reach your destination quickly and safely, whether it’s a secluded fishing spot or scenic bay. The hull’s 20-degree transom deadrise and Seakeeper® 5 stabilization system provide a steady, enjoyable ride perfect for Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, and beyond.
A Boater’s Dream at the Helm
Grady-White’s ingenuity is evident at every corner of the Canyon 386, starting with the helm area, which combines luxury, functionality, and ergonomic design. Four deluxe, adjustable helm chairs sit under an AV2® hardtop and behind a wraparound windshield, providing a protected vantage point for all weather. With a sleek black helm, flush mount electronics area, push-button switches, and full engine maneuverability controls, this helm is designed to make your time on the water smooth and enjoyable. Whether navigating through narrow bays or open waters, the Canyon 386’s helm is equipped for confidence and ease, offering everything you need to focus on the journey.
Fishing Features for Great Lakes Enthusiasts
For the dedicated angler, the Canyon 386 offers an impressive array of fishing amenities tailored to the Great Lakes region, where various fishing styles demand versatility and efficiency. With dual 35-gallon livewells, a 291-quart digitally controlled insulated refrigerator/freezer fish box, and two 149-quart fish boxes in the bow, you’ll have plenty of room for bait, fish, and more. Ample rod storage and numerous rod holders throughout the cockpit ensure all your gear is within easy reach. The massive cockpit and strategically designed rigging station allow you to focus on fishing without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
Perfect for Entertaining and Relaxation
The Canyon 386 doubles as an entertainment haven. The rigging station transforms into an ideal gathering spot, complete with a Corian® countertop, freshwater sink, and an optional grill. This multi-functional area allows you to prep food, entertain guests, or enjoy a meal with a view. The spacious bow lounge, a highlight of Grady-White’s design, includes a plush console lounge with folding armrests, port and starboard seating with electromechanically adjustable backrests, and a casting platform with optional cushions and table. This thoughtful design makes it easy to transition from a serious fishing expedition to a relaxing sunset cruise with family and friends.
A Cabin Designed for Comfort and Extended Adventures
At South Shore Marine, we understand that Great Lakes boaters want more than a day trip—they want the flexibility for longer excursions. The Canyon 386’s deluxe cabin is equipped for that, accessible through a wide sliding door at the helm. Inside, you’ll find a world of comfort and convenience: a well-appointed galley with Corian® counters, stainless steel sink, microwave, and a refrigerator drawer to keep food and drinks fresh. The cherry dinette is versatile and can easily be converted to a cozy berth, allowing you to relax or spend the night on the water after a long day of fishing or exploring.
For added comfort, the spacious head offers a separate sink, stand-up shower, and a china head. The cabin is designed with overnight stays in mind, featuring air conditioning, natural light, ample storage, and a 24” TV, making it a great retreat for family and friends who want to experience the beauty of the Great Lakes in luxury and style.
