2013 Robalo R245 Walkaround

What sets this R245 apart is how confidently it handles a sloppy inlet or an afternoon chop; the deep-V hull and weight distribution give you a solid, predictable ride when the breeze comes up. At the helm, sightlines are excellent whether you’re standing or seated, and the hardtop with enclosure means you can extend your season well beyond fair‑weather weekends. The walkaround side decks feel secure, with high bow rails that make anchoring or working a fish up forward less of a dance. Down below, the cabin feels brighter than most boats this size, with good headroom at the entry and thoughtful storage for overnight gear, tackle, and safety equipment so everything has its place.

This size walkaround is right at home where you’ll see a mix of back-bay exploring, nearshore trolling, and the occasional run to deeper water when conditions are right. The hull design is happy idling through no‑wake zones, but equally comfortable stretching its legs across open stretches when the tide and wind line up. Having a protected helm and a usable cabin means you can shrug off those surprise showers or early‑season cold snaps and still enjoy the day. Meanwhile, the generous cockpit space and secure side decks give anglers room to work around the boat, whether you’re drifting a reef, anchored on a wreck, or chasing schools along the beach.
