2026 Cobia 285 Center Console

The 2026 Cobia 285 Center Console is a 28-foot fiberglass fishing boat built for serious on-water capability. Twin Yamaha engines deliver 600 horsepower for reaching distant fishing grounds, while dual fuel fills with 231-gallon total capacity support extended cruising. The boat is equipped with a Helm Master EX system featuring joystick control and autopilot, dual Garmin 16-inch screens for navigation, digital electric steering, and trim tabs with indicator. A hardtop with integrated frame and windshield provides weather protection at the helm.

The layout prioritizes crew comfort and fishing functionality. Spacious bow seating with cushion package and a forward console seat with integrated 57.5-quart cooler give your group room to spread out. The bow table serves as a social center, while an electronically adjustable version is available as an upgrade. An innovative in-floor fish box can be partitioned to serve as a cooler accessible from the water through a side dive door. The aft bench seat provides additional seating, and boarding is simplified with a dedicated ladder.

This particular boat comes fully appointed with premium equipment. The audio system pairs a JL Audio setup with amplifier and six speakers inside the cabin, plus four additional hardtop-mounted speakers. Navigation and communication include Garmin dual screens with ACR dash and transducers, a hardtop-mounted VHF radio, and wireless phone charging. The helm features a deluxe cooler seat with slide and white faux teak decking in grey and black accents. Additional features include a deluxe windlass with chain and rope, blue underwater lights, and a four-bank battery charger with inlet. Two Kingfish rod holders are mounted to the hardtop alongside flush-mount kite rod holders for serious anglers.
