2026 Cobia 285 Open Center Console

The 2026 Cobia 285 Open is a center console built for both recreational and tournament fishing. At 28 feet 5 inches long with a 9-foot 11-inch beam, the boat prioritizes open deck space with full walk-up access to the bow and stern. Twin Yamaha engines deliver 600 horsepower, with configurations available up to 700 horsepower.

The layout centers on fishing capability and crew comfort. Two insulated fish boxes with macerated overboard drains sit in the cockpit alongside kite rod holders. A deep-drop option adds reinforced gunnel boards and electric reel outlets for serious bottom fishing. The helm accommodates dual 16-inch Garmin screens and features a premium seat with an integrated tackle center and sliding cooler. Seating is flexible throughout, accommodating full crews.

Equipment options expand the boat's versatility. A Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor, premium audio system with 10-inch subwoofers and up to 10 speakers, and optional Seakeeper 1 stabilizer are available. Windlass systems, radar, battery chargers, and phone chargers round out the helm upgrades. Cosmetic choices include hull colors, upholstery packages, faux teak decking, and hardtop finishes. An extended 300-foot anchor line upgrade is offered for deeper-water anchoring.
