2020 Cobia 262 Center Console

The 262 rides on Cobia’s stepped hull, so you get a noticeably dry, sure-footed run when the afternoon chop shows up. The helm layout gives the operator excellent sightlines forward and aft, with plenty of room to move along the wide, level walkways when lines need tending. Forward, the wraparound seating with backrests turns the bow into a relaxed conversation pit, and there’s a proper head in the console so longer days on the water stay comfortable for everyone. A thoughtfully designed transom door, foldaway aft bench, and generous under-gunwale rod storage make switching from family cruising to serious fishing a smooth, five-minute job.

This 262 Center Console shines where waters can serve up a mix of shallow bays, winding channels, and open swells in the same day. Its manageable size makes it easy to trailer, launch, and tuck into tighter slips, yet the beam and hull design handle unexpected chop with confidence. Anglers will appreciate the generous cockpit, livewell capacity, and smart layout when working multiple lines or drifting structure. Families benefit from the secure, high freeboard, comfortable forward seating, and real shade at the helm. It’s a sweet spot boat—big enough to feel secure offshore on good days, but still nimble and economical for quick afternoon runs close to home.
