2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console

The 2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console is a 28-foot fiberglass boat designed for both recreational and tournament fishing. Built with an open layout that provides full walk-up access to the bow and stern, the boat features dual insulated fish boxes with macerated overboard drains, kite rod holders, and the option for a deep drop setup with reinforced gunnel boards and electric reel outlets. Twin Yamaha F300XSB2 outboards power the boat, with the helm equipped to handle dual 16-inch Garmin screens and Helm Master controls with integrated systems for easy navigation and handling.

Accommodations center on flexible seating throughout the open deck. The premium helm seat includes a tackle center and slide-out cooler as standard, with an alternative layout available for additional tackle storage. A bow cushion package with cool-touch material provides comfort forward, while the cockpit toe rail and boarding ladder complete the working and access features.

The boat comes well-equipped for extended fishing days. Garmin dual GPSMAP 1643xsv displays with GT56UHD and GT17M transducers handle navigation and sonar. An enhanced JL Audio sound system with eight strategically positioned speakers delivers audio throughout the boat. A deluxe windlass with chain, rope, stainless steel anchor, and wireless remote manages ground tackle. Additional features include trim tabs with indicator, digital electric steering, blue underwater lights, VHF 215 radio, trolling motor prep, and a hardtop with integrated windscreen and kingfish rod holders.

The hull wears a two-tone standard finish in Haze Grey, with a matte black powder-coated hardtop and black rub rail with stainless steel insert. Faux teak decking in grey and black completes the finish.
