2021 Sea Fox 228 Commander

Step aboard and you’ll feel right away that this 228 Commander was set up for easy, stress‑free days on the water. The wide, secure bow area invites your crew forward, with high freeboard that keeps everyone comfortable when the chop picks up. A deep, well‑organized cockpit gives you plenty of room to move while working lines or chasing fish, and the transom layout keeps gear out of the way but always within reach. The helm’s clean, modern design makes it simple to run even if you’re stepping up from a smaller boat. Family touches—like the roomy head in the console and generous seating with backrests—make longer outings far more pleasant.

For these waters, the 228 Commander hits a sweet spot between offshore confidence and inshore versatility. The hull carries enough deadrise to soften the typical afternoon slop, yet the draft stays shallow enough for exploring sandbars, channels, and nearshore reefs. Its size makes it easy to trailer to different ramps and islands without needing a big truck or a large slip. The layout works beautifully for mixed crews: anglers get a solid fishing platform, livewell, and open cockpit, while family and friends enjoy comfortable seating and shade. It’s a capable, manageable center console that suits the varied conditions and boating lifestyles in this area.
