2023 Blackfin 232 DC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam gives this 23-footer the stance of a much bigger boat. The deep freeboard keeps kids and guests feeling secure when the chop kicks up, and the wraparound windshield does a great job knocking down spray. At the helm, the ergonomics are dialed in—clear sightlines, intuitive switch layout, and plenty of room for a serious multi-function display. Storage is thoughtfully tucked everywhere: in-floor for boards and rods, dry compartments for gear, and dedicated space for fenders. The transom walkthrough makes it easy to slip back to the swim platform, where the ladder and grab rails are perfectly placed for swimmers and divers.

Waters here can change from glassy calm to short, steep chop in a heartbeat, and the 232 DC’s robust hull and pronounced bow flare are built for exactly that. The dual-console layout gives you a protected ride when the breeze is up, yet still opens wide for sunset cruises or sandbar raft-ups. Shallow draft lets you nose into coves and creek mouths, while the cockpit depth and sturdy hardware inspire confidence when you run outside on a clear day. Ample shade, generous seating, and secure storage make it a practical family platform that still has the fishing DNA to chase the bite when the conditions line up.
