We are proud to announce that the Everglades 367CX has been named Boating Magazine’s 2025 Dayboat of the Year, one of the most prestigious honors in the marine industry.
Boating’s Boat of the Year (BOTY) awards recognize the most remarkable new vessels introduced each year, boats that stand apart for their innovation, performance, design, and real-world usability. Selected from more than 100 boats rigorously tested by Boating’s Tech Team, each category winner represents the best execution of a specific mission on the water. You can view all the category winners and more information from Boating Magazine here: Boating Magazine 2025 Boat of the Year Category Winners.
Each category winner also serves as a nominee for Boating Magazine’s overall 2025 Boat of the Year, which will be announced at the Miami International Boat Show this February, further underscoring the significance of this recognition.
For Everglades Boats, this milestone is especially meaningful. The 367CX is our first-ever crossover model in our all-new 7-series, and it has already set a new benchmark for what a modern dayboat can be.
Why the 367CX Stood Out
According to Boating Magazine, the 367CX “caused a stir” from the moment it debuted, drawing crowds and attention for its thoughtful design and unmatched versatility. Built to seamlessly transition between serious fishing and elevated entertaining, the 367CX delivers flexibility without compromise.
At the heart of the boat is its rotating cockpit module, allowing owners to reconfigure the space from an all-out angling setup to a social, entertainment-focused layout in moments. It’s a feature that perfectly captures the spirit of the modern dayboat—one boat, multiple missions.
Step below deck and you’ll find accommodations that rival those of a cruiser. Move forward to the bow, accessed through a unique portside door, and you’re welcomed by a sun lounge more commonly found on a sport yacht. Throughout the boat, Everglades’ signature attention to detail, build quality, and thoughtful engineering are on full display.

What the Boat of the Year Award Represents
Boating’s Boat of the Year awards are not popularity contests. Each winner is selected by an editorial staff with over 200 years of combined boating experience, backed by nearly a century of professional boat testing. Every boat is evaluated against others with the same mission, ensuring a fair, data-driven comparison.
The Dayboat category, in particular, demands excellence across multiple disciplines—comfort, performance, versatility, and innovation—all within a single platform. The 367CX excelled by delivering on every front.
A Win for Innovation—and for Owners
This award reinforces what Everglades owners already know: our boats are built to push boundaries while delivering confidence, comfort, and capability on the water. The 367CX isn’t just a new model—it’s a new way to experience a dayboat.
We are honored to be recognized by Boating Magazine and grateful to our team, dealers, and customers who continue to inspire us to build boats that go beyond expectations.
