2018 Cobia 277 Center Console

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how open the 277 feels—high gunnels, wide walkarounds, and a deep, secure cockpit that makes moving from bow to stern easy even when the sea’s up. The helm seats are true captain’s chairs with bolsters and armrests, not an afterthought, and the visibility from the console is excellent whether you’re standing or sitting. Forward, the wraparound seating invites family and guests to actually settle in for the ride, and the console interior offers real headroom plus space to change, stow gear, or tuck the kids out of the sun. Underway, the stepped hull delivers a dry, composed ride, letting you run comfortably when others are throttling back.

This 27-foot center console is dialed in for waters where conditions can turn from flat to frothy in a single tide change. The sharp entry and generous freeboard inspire confidence on choppy inlets, while the length and beam still make it easy to handle in tighter marinas and crowded fuel docks. Twin outboards provide the range and reliability to work distant rips, reefs, and shoals, yet the boat’s draft and maneuverability are friendly to back-bay exploring and sandbar days. With ample seating, shade options, and secure bow space, it transitions smoothly from early-morning runs offshore to relaxed afternoon cruises with family and friends.
