2021 Robalo R200 Center Console

Step aboard and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the space is laid out for real-world use. The wide, uncluttered bow converts from casting deck to a comfortable lounge with removable cushions and backrests, while the aft jump seats fold away to open up a generous cockpit when it’s time to fish. The leaning post offers secure support when you’re running offshore, with rod holders right where you want them. Inside the console, there’s surprising headroom for changing or stashing gear out of the elements. High freeboard and beefy hardware give the R200 a bigger-boat feel, and the factory-integrated swim platform with ladder makes it easy for kids and guests to hop in after a swim or snorkel.

In this area, you need a center console that can handle choppy afternoons yet still float comfortably in shallower bays and backwaters, and the R200 hits that sweet spot. Its deep-V entry softens the ride when the breeze stacks up the waves, while the moderate draft lets you nose into sandbars or quiet coves. The size is ideal for trailering to different ramps and exploring varied waterways in a single season. With its secure freeboard and family-friendly seating, it’s just as at home on scenic cruises as it is drifting live baits along channels or working nearshore reef lines.
