2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console

The 2026 Cobia 285 Open is a center console built for serious fishing and family cruising. Measuring 28 feet 5 inches in length with a 9-foot 11-inch beam, this open layout prioritizes walk-up access to the bow and stern. The two-tone Haze Grey and Pure White hull sits on VARIS construction. Twin Yamaha engines deliver up to 700 maximum horsepower—this example is equipped with twin Yamaha F300XSB2s in white paired with Helm Master EX controls, digital electric steering, and joystick autopilot with ISO charger for responsive handling.

The helm station centers on a premium seat with integrated tackle center and slide-out cooler, backed by dual Garmin GPSMAP 1643xsv units with dedicated transducers, VHF 215, and a power-assisted Edson steering wheel. Navigation and fishfinding electronics come standard with capacity for dual 16-inch screens. Trim tabs with indicators fine-tune performance and comfort underway.

Fishing features include two insulated cockpit fish boxes with macerated drains, reinforced gunnel boards for deep-drop rigging, electric reel outlets, standard kite rod holders, and a Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor. The hardtop with integrated frame and glass windshield provides weather protection and carries white powder coating that matches the hull underside. Eight JL Audio speakers with amplifier deliver sound throughout the boat. Grey and black faux teak decking lines the deck.

Accommodations span seating options including hideaway aft bench seating, console seating with backrest, and cockpit bolsters. An electric head with macerator serves the interior. Fresh water systems include transom access, console sink, and washdown capabilities. Additional amenities comprise bow and aft sunshades, covered boarding ladder, opening port windows, and USB outlets and cup holders positioned throughout.
