2026 Parker 227 Explorer

The 2026 Parker 227 Explorer is built for those who need a boat that works as hard as they do. Designed to be a "do-it-all" vessel, this pilothouse model is perfect for everything from early morning fishing to safely commuting between island homes. Its enclosed cabin keeps you warm and dry, allowing you to get out on the water earlier in the spring and stay out later into the autumn. This is a boat built for safety, ease of use, and total confidence in any weather.

Built for Strength and Peace of Mind

Every Parker is built with a focus on Quality, Strength, and Seaworthiness.
