2006 Rampage 33 Express - Barta Canyon

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the cockpit is laid out by someone who actually fishes offshore. The mezzanine-style seating keeps the crew close to the action while still out of the way of the spread, and there’s enough in-deck fishbox and livewell capacity to make long days on the edge worthwhile. At the helm, sightlines are excellent both forward and aft, making docking and backing down on a fish feel intuitive. Below, the joinery and soft goods have held up remarkably well, with clever storage tucked under seating and berths to swallow tackle, spare gear, and overnight bags. It’s a boat that feels solid underfoot, with the reassuring heft and deadrise to stay composed when the weather turns lumpy.

In these waters, you need an express that can jump from inshore structure to the canyons without feeling overmatched, and the Rampage 33 Express fits that role perfectly. Its size makes it manageable for an owner-operator, yet it carries the beam, fuel capacity, and hull design to run comfortably when the afternoon chop builds. The protected helm is a real advantage on raw, windy days, while still giving you a direct connection to the cockpit. Whether you’re trolling offshore temperature breaks, drifting reefs, or sneaking into tighter harbors, the boat’s balance of ride, range, and fishability is well suited to the mix of conditions found here.
