2012 Everglades 295 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully this 29-footer is laid out for long days on the water. The wide beam and high freeboard give a secure, dry ride, while the deep, cushioned bow seating converts from a casting deck to a lounge in seconds. Aft, the foldaway transom bench opens up a huge cockpit when it’s time to fish, then pops back out for the cruise home. The helm seats are true shock-absorbing chairs, not afterthoughts, with bolsters and armrests that make running in a chop far less tiring. Tackle storage, dedicated cooler space, and smart under-gunwale rod racks keep the deck uncluttered, so everything has its place when the bite turns on.

This 295 Center Console shines in waters where conditions can swing from flat calm to sporty in a single afternoon. Its solid, foam-filled build and aggressive hull design inspire confidence when afternoon winds kick up, yet the boat still sneaks into shallower bays and nearshore structure. The size is ideal: substantial enough for offshore runs to reefs and wrecks, but easy to handle for a small crew at the sandbar or during solo dockings. Abundant shade from the hardtop, generous seating, and a real head compartment make it comfortable for family beach hops, while the large cockpit and fishing layout satisfy serious anglers chasing pelagics just beyond the inlet.
