Florida is the de facto home of the modern day center console fishing machine. With center consoles now surpassing 50 feet in length there’s virtually no day in Florida you can’t fish comfortably offshore. Choosing the right boat for you is going to be more difficult than choosing the days you can fish. The key to making the right decision lays in choosing the best boat to fit your needs.  For long runs in blue water deadrise is more important, for bottom fishing it’s less important.  If you have a family, you’ll want forward seating. And finally choose a boat company that most likely will be around to service your boat after you buy it, like the ones featured here.

Cobia Boats
18- to 29-foot center console boats
www.cobiaboats.com

For over 50 years Cobia has been envolving, with improvements that turned it into the ultimate family recreation boat. When Maverick Boat Company, manufacturers of Maverick, Hewes and Pathfinder, the nation’s most respected builder of light tackle fishing boats acquired Cobia, we set out to do more than just maintain that history. We wanted Cobia to become a true fishing boat. So what started out as an evolution of a brand has become a true revolution in boat building. This has resulted in dramatically improved Cobias from stern to stern, with a combination of fishing features and creature comforts that will set the standard for years to come.
