Glacier Bay 2640 Renegade

Glacier Bay's popular 26-foot catamaran is a split console, walk-through design. This layout is versatile enough to suit everyone from hard-core tournament types to weekend family fishermen and cruisers. There's something for everyone!

The bow area has lots of room, and serves equally well as a casting platform or a sun lounge. A large, deep anchor locker at the bow holds all ground tackle, and the shallow tray aft of that is ideal for dock lines. Farther aft, in front of the twin consoles, you'll find a large transverse fishbox to hold the day's catch. This Renegade is equipped with a SImpson Lawrence windlass as well.

The stylish, swept-back, tempered-glass windshield opens in the middle for bow access, but provides great protection and visibility when closed. The seating around the bridgedeck consists of a lounge seat that wraps around aft. The aft portion of this seat houses the optional 18-gallon live well.

The spacious head compartment is accessed through the portside console. Inside, you'll find a true 12-volt marine head attached to a 15-gallon holding tank. Also in the head is a huge, wide-open storage area.

 Helm and Cockpit Amenities

 Back on deck, the helm area boasts a clever use of space. The helm seat sits atop another insulated box that can be used for fish or dry storage, and there's also an optional refrigerator that fits in here. The helm itself tilts aft for rigging and wiring access. There is a lockable cover for the electronics which is for security but also acts as a great cover to protect the electronics from sun damage as well.

The 2640 has a very spacious cockpit that serious fishermen are sure to appreciate. There's a rigging station at the aft end of the bridgedeck, complete with a fresh water sink and a large flat surface on which to rig baits. The molded unit contains plenty of shelves, too.

A diamond non-skid pattern is molded into the cockpit sole to provide sure footing, and there is lots of room for fighting fish. Four rod racks are located beneath each gunwale, and there are four  rod holders in the covering boards. At the transom bulkhead, corner boxes hold the boat's batteries on one side, tackle drawers on the other. A walk-through area on the centerline lets you easily access the engine platform and the swim platform with folding ladder. An additional boarding ladder is mounted on the bow for the days when you are hanging out at the sandbar.
