2021 Robalo R272 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll see why the R272 has such a loyal following. The wide beam carries forward, giving you a surprisingly roomy bow with deep backrests that feel secure when the seas pick up. A real head compartment with sink and storage makes long days on the water comfortable for family and crew, and the sliding entry door is easy to manage underway. Aft, the fold-away transom seat opens up a broad cockpit when it’s time to fish, then flips back out for the sunset cruise home. High freeboard, thick bolsters, and sturdy hardware throughout give this boat a solid, confident feel that stands out in its class.

This R272 is an ideal match for local waters that can shift from calm mornings to choppy afternoons. The substantial hull and generous bow flare keep spray down when you’re running outside the inlet or hopping between nearshore and offshore spots. At the same time, the shallow draft and responsive handling make it comfortable exploring creeks, sandbars, and ICW-style channels. Plenty of insulated storage, rod space, and a well-laid-out helm mean you can easily switch between serious fishing, beach days, and evening harbor cruises without feeling compromised in any role.
