Just as strong, stable, and seaworthy with Vela’s over-engineered fiberglass composite structure that can “take a beating” in rough seas and get home safely. As with the larger models, the 318 features a simple, uncluttered deck and helm layout, and elegant minimalist style.
But Vela doesn’t skimp on anything—only allowing the most premium options for the best electronic suites, amenities, power packages, and standard items such as the audio system, LED lighting, touchscreen controls, wireless charging in dash, huge solar T-top, lithium-ion batteries, and more.
The 318’s compact size is sufficiently robust to take on offshore conditions, yet capable of “slipping into inshore party spots!” A built-in cooler at forward end of coffin box “Cool Pool,” holds ice for 4-5 days; lid flips up for easy access to beverages! Vela’s built-in versatility allows the 318 to transition from serious deep-sea fishing boat to dayboat hanging out at the sandbar with friends. The 16” draft makes the Vela 318 an ideal platform for fishing in skinny waters and exploring shorelines.
