Center Console Boats

A rugged and durable boat, the Center Console Boat has been used to catch more than a few fish in light coastal waters around the world. Its ability to be customized to a boaters needs have helped develop its reputation as a versatile, practical, no frills boat that can get the job done. Center Console boats range between 18 – 28 feet and they typically seat seven people. A typical Center Console Boat will feature open air hulls, a single deck level, and of course, a control console located in the center of the deck. Combined, these features make it possible for a passenger to walk from stern to bow with ease. Small sleeping berths, cabins, and/or T-Top style canopies for protection from the elements are sometimes found on Center Console Boats, but amenities such as these are usually rare as fishing enthusiasts value the open air hull for casting room and the berths to be situated for livewell fish boxes and customizable deck space where maneuverability during intense angling sessions is important. The Coast Guard even uses a customized Boston Whaler Center Console Boat as a Transportable Port Security Boat in foreign and domestic port environments where quick response and light weapons support are needed. It seems safe to say that a Center Console Boat is a good addition to anyones arsenal.
