2018 Cobia 220 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how open and uncluttered this 22-footer feels, with plenty of walkaround room for working a fish or moving from bow to stern with a drink in hand. The hull has the dry, solid ride Cobia is known for, and the higher freeboard up front keeps spray down when the breeze is up. At the helm, the sightlines are excellent whether you’re seated behind the leaning post or standing to run in a light chop. Family crew will appreciate the easy boarding over the transom, the secure grab rails, and how simple it is to keep the non-skid and SeaDek surfaces rinsed and looking sharp after a full day on the water.

For mixed-use waters where conditions can shift from glassy inshore channels to afternoon chop outside the inlet, the Cobia 220 Center Console hits a sweet spot. It’s small enough to trailer easily and launch at a variety of ramps, yet has the beam, deadrise, and weight to feel confident when the breeze builds. The layout works just as well drifting nearshore structure as it does idling along waterfronts or anchoring off a sandbar. Fuel efficiency and modest draft help you stretch your range, duck into shallower creeks, and still have the capability to run offshore on the right days.
