2019 Robalo R222 Center Console

Step aboard the R222 and you’ll appreciate how Robalo squeezes big-boat thinking into a highly manageable 22-foot footprint. The deep, secure cockpit and high freeboard keep family and crew feeling confident when the chop builds. Up front, the bow converts from lounge space to a secure casting deck in seconds, while the reversible helm seat lets the captain stay social at rest or locked-in underway. Thoughtful touches like stainless steel hardware, wide walkaround space, and a well-designed helm with intuitive switches make every outing feel effortless. Add in the robust hull construction Robalo is known for, and you’ve got a platform that feels solid, quiet, and composed even when you push the throttle.

In many local waters, conditions can shift quickly—from glassy mornings to wind-swept afternoons—and the R222’s deep-V hull and pronounced flare are built for exactly that. It’s compact enough to trailer easily to different ramps yet has the offshore DNA to handle open stretches with confidence. Shallow creeks, nearshore reefs, sandbar days, or pulling a tube on the lake are all within its comfort zone. The center console layout keeps 360-degree fishability and visibility, ideal for navigating busy channels or tight marinas. With efficient power and sensible running costs, it’s a smart, versatile choice for boaters who want one hull to cover most of what local waters can throw at them.
