2022 Barracuda 188 CCR

The 2022 Barracuda 188 CCR is an 18-foot fiberglass center console built for fishing and coastal cruising. Powered by a single Suzuki gasoline engine, it combines practical open-water layout with unexpected onboard comfort for a boat of this size.

The standout feature is the optional Step Down Head Console, which integrates a true head compartment into the helm structure. The design flips controls to starboard and conceals all wiring, cables, and hydraulic lines behind a removable interior wall, creating a clean, finished appearance inside the console. Access is via a hinged fiberglass door at the front. The molded-in seat includes a removable cushioned bottom and backrest.

The head compartment includes a molded fiberglass pan with diamond non-skid surface, stainless steel drain plug, 24-gallon fresh water system, and a pull-out shower—amenities that bring larger-boat functionality to this compact platform. At 18 feet long and 7.83 feet wide, the 188 CCR balances fishing-focused open layout with the convenience of onboard facilities.
