2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console

The 2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console is a 28-foot fiberglass boat built for both recreational and tournament fishing. Powered by twin Yamaha F300XSB2 engines, it delivers capability across a 9'11" beam with an open layout that provides full walk-up access to the bow and stern, maximizing fishing space and crew movement.

The boat emphasizes fishing practicality with two insulated cockpit fish boxes fitted with macerated overboard drains, kite rod holders, and provisions for optional deep-drop rigging with reinforced gunnel boards and electric reel outlets. The helm features dual 16-inch Garmin screens with navigation integration, a digital electric steering system, and a premium seat with integrated tackle center and sliding cooler. A hardtop with integrated frame and glass windshield offers weather protection and mounting points for an enhanced JL Audio sound system with eight strategically positioned speakers, plus VHF radio and additional rod holders.

Standard equipment includes a deluxe windlass with chain, rope, stainless steel anchor and chafing guard, wireless remote operation, trim tabs with indicator, four 31-series batteries, faux teak decking in grey and black, boarding ladder, bow cushions, and underwater blue lights. The helm setup supports Helm Master EX DES twin-engine controls with ISO charger, and the boat includes trolling motor prep for added versatility.
