2025 NorthCoast 285 HT

The NorthCoast 285 HT is a 32-foot pilothouse built to work the Atlantic's toughest waters. Her fiberglass hull combines a 23-degree deadrise with aggressive lifting strakes for a quick, dry ride to the fishing grounds. Twin Yamaha engines deliver 600 horsepower total, pushing the boat to 57 mph at wide-open throttle and cruising comfortably at 24 mph on 14 gallons per hour—yielding a range of 290 nautical miles at 3,500 rpm with reserve fuel from her 216-gallon capacity.

The 285 HT sleeps four with an aft berth and includes a private head below deck. Her layout balances fishing functionality with cruising comfort, offering enclosed cabin space that can accommodate a working crew and gear or a family on extended trips. High freeboard and a flared bow contribute to seakindly handling.

Interior detailing includes wooden drawer faces and a head door with wood veneer, blending traditional New England styling with contemporary build standards. The boat is designed to plane quickly even with reduced horsepower, making her responsive and economical across a range of operating conditions.
