2017 Robalo R222 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the R222 is laid out for real-world days on the water. The deep, secure cockpit and high freeboard keep crew comfortable when the chop kicks up, and the wide bow seating invites everyone forward when it’s time to relax. The helm has a clean, modern feel with easy sightlines, and the stainless wheel with knob makes close-quarters maneuvering a breeze. Aft, the folding transom seat tucks away to open up a roomy fishing deck, while the integrated swim platform and ladder make quick dips in the water effortless. Quality hardware, sturdy grab rails, and non-skid everywhere give this 22-footer the feel of a much larger, more serious offshore boat.

The Robalo R222 shines in this area because it’s built to handle the kind of mixed conditions local boaters see all season long. Its deep-V hull softens the ride when the wind comes up, yet the boat is still shallow enough to nose into sandbars or explore sheltered creeks. The versatile layout works just as well drifting over nearshore structure as it does anchoring at popular swim spots. Abundant, secure storage keeps gear dry on longer runs between marinas and ramps. Paired with efficient power, the R222 offers the range and confidence to explore farther, while remaining easy to trailer, launch, and store in this region.
