Why Hurricane Deck Boats Like the 218 and 2400 Are Perfect for Southwest Florida Waters

If you spend your weekends boating in Southwest Florida, you’ve probably seen a Hurricane out on the water. Known as the original deck boat, Hurricane has built a reputation for delivering comfort, performance, and versatility that perfectly matches our local lifestyle. Two models stand out among Southwest Florida boaters: the Hurricane 218 and the Hurricane 2400. The 218 is nimble, family-friendly, and perfect for quick trips to the sandbar or island hopping along the Gulf Coast. The 2400, on the other hand, has been a fan favorite for years — offering the extra space, stability, and performance that boaters in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and Naples love.
