2019 Robalo R247 Dual Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how wide and secure this hull feels, especially when the afternoon chop kicks up. The helm is laid out so everything falls easily to hand, with clear sightlines whether you’re running on plane or easing into a tight slip. The hardtop and full-height windshield give real protection from wind and spray, while the deep freeboard keeps kids and crew feeling tucked in and safe. Owners love how the convertible port lounge flips from forward-facing to a sun lounge in seconds, and the enclosed head compartment is genuinely usable, not an afterthought. Add in the transom walkthrough and swim ladder, and it’s an easy boat for swimmers and divers to move on and off all day.

The R247 really shines in the mixed conditions common to this area—morning glass, afternoon breeze, and the occasional surprise squall. Its substantial hull and pronounced bow flare soften the ride when the wind stacks against the tide, while the dual-console layout gives family and guests a sheltered place to tuck out of the weather. There’s enough fishing DNA for inshore structure and nearshore runs, yet the seating and storage make it just as comfortable for long sandbar days or harbor cruises. With efficient twin power and a hull happy at a range of speeds, it’s a practical, confidence-inspiring platform for exploring local coves, rivers, and open stretches without feeling limited by changing conditions.
