2003 Rampage 30 Offshore

Step into the cockpit and you’ll notice how deep and secure the freeboard feels, giving real confidence when the seas stack up. The wide beam makes the 30 feel bigger than the numbers suggest, with enough working room for a full crew to fish without dancing around each other. Up at the helm, the sightlines are excellent—standing or seated—with a sturdy footrest and rugged, no-nonsense controls that feel built for serious runs offshore. Down below, the mid-cabin layout offers a surprising amount of storage for rods, dive gear, and weekend provisions, while still leaving room for a comfortable berth. Non-skid surfaces, beefy hardware, and substantial railings all speak to a boat designed to be used hard, not just admired at the dock.

This 30-foot express is particularly well suited to the mix of inshore channels and open bluewater found in this region. The hull has the weight and deadrise to punch through afternoon chop, yet it’s compact enough to slide into tighter slips and work shallow approaches to bait spots and nearshore structure. The express layout keeps the captain close to the cockpit action, ideal when you’re working weed lines, wrecks, or trolling edges. With a comfortable cabin and climate control, longer runs to distant reefs or overnights on the hook are far more enjoyable. It’s the kind of platform that can chase pelagics one day and handle relaxed family cruising the next, without feeling out of place in either role.
