In an effort to expand its product offerings, Grady-White Boats has launched the Canyon 326, which merges fishing capabilities with comfort for family cruising and entertaining.
This center-console boat features an enhanced beam and comes equipped with three contoured captain’s chairs that have flip-up bolsters and footrests. Standard built-in swim platforms on both starboard and port sides, along with a transom and a door on the port side, allow for quick and easy access when boarding from the dock or water, and also aid in landing large catches.
“This boat serves a unique position in our lineup. It suits owners seeking more space than the 306 offers but who aren’t ready to move up to the 336,” stated Joey Weller, vice president of sales for Grady-White, in a press announcement. “Its multitude of built-in features, cutting-edge design, style, and comfort, combined with various options, make the 326 a valuable addition to our already extensive range.”
To safeguard the electronics area, it features an integrated, scratch-resistant windshield. The console includes a space for electronics, a compass, hydraulic tilt with power-assisted steering, and a windlass remote control switch. The fiberglass T-top, complete with a painted aluminum frame, includes a radio box, storage net, recessed LED lights, spreader lights, four rod holders, radar flat, and outrigger plates.
The Canyon 326 is available with twin Yamaha 300 or Yamaha 350 outboard motors. With a fuel capacity of 327 gallons, the Canyon 326 offers an ample range for reaching your preferred fishing areas.
Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the 32-gallon fully-column, recirculating raw water livewell that is equipped with lighting. Grady-White has incorporated three insulated fish boxes: two 180-quart boxes located port and starboard, and an additional 318-quart box in the transom. An optional 38-gallon livewell can also be included for increased baitfish storage.
This boat features various conveniences, including fresh and raw water washdowns at both the bow and stern, as well as easy access to the anchor through a bow walkthrough and a standard anchor windlass. The deluxe lean bar is equipped with a rigging station that includes a freshwater sink and faucet, lockable storage drawers, tackle trays, and built-in removable trash can space. Additionally, an accessible engine flushing system simplifies maintenance.
Grady-White claims that the Canyon 326 can be swiftly transformed for outings with family and friends. The seating arrangements include a foldable aft bench seat, with cushioned fish boxes on the port and starboard sides in the bow, which feature foldaway backrests. Extra seating for two is also available at the forward console.

“In designing this boat, we prioritized innovation, functionality, and luxurious comfort,” remarked Christian Carraway, Grady-White’s design engineer. “The all-new Canyon 326 incorporates numerous standout features found in all Grady-White models, including our exclusive SeaV² hull. Even in challenging weather, the boat maintains an excellent ride and demonstrates smooth handling, providing both captain and crew with unforgettable days on the water.”
Grady-White announced that the Canyon 326 will be available with options such as a bow thruster, battery charger, dockside power, grill, refrigerator, and retractable shade. The builder based in Greenville, North Carolina, offers six models in its Canyon series, ranging from 27 to 45 feet.
