2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console

The 2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console is a 28-foot fiberglass fishing platform built for both recreational and tournament anglers. Powered by three Yamaha engines delivering 600 horsepower, it reaches fishing grounds quickly and runs all day with efficiency. The design emphasizes open layout with full walk-up access to bow and stern, minimizing obstructions for casting and movement across the deck.

Fishing-focused features include two insulated cockpit fish boxes with macerated overboard drains, kite rod holders, and provisions for optional deep drop equipment with reinforced gunnel boards and electric reel outlets. The boat accommodates a Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor and offers electronics options including 16-inch Garmin screens at the helm and a Garmin VHF system for navigation and communication.

The helm station includes a premium seat with integrated tackle center and slide-out cooler. The boat comes standard, but can be configured with additional tackle storage, prep space, or a Seakeeper 1 gyroscopic stabilization system. Audio upgrades available include enhanced JL Audio systems with 10-inch subwoofers and up to 10 strategically placed speakers throughout the boat.

With a beam of nearly 10 feet and flexible seating arrangements, the 285 Open provides room for a full crew. The combination of open deck space, fishing infrastructure, and engine power positions this boat for both casual family outings and serious fishing pursuits.
