2023 Cobia 262CC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 262CC feels bigger than a typical 26-footer. The deep, secure cockpit sides and wide bow seating keep everyone comfortable when the afternoon chop kicks up. At the helm, the sightlines are excellent whether you’re standing or leaning, with plenty of room to brace your knees when running offshore. Storage is smartly hidden everywhere—under-seat boxes, in-deck lockers, and dedicated spots for tackle and gear so the deck stays clear. The console head compartment is generous enough for adults to use without contortion, making full days on the water easier. Thoughtful touches like wide walkaround space, secure handholds, and an easy-to-rinse interior show this boat was designed by people who run offshore regularly.

The 2023 Cobia 262CC is a sweet spot for waters where you may jump from skinny bays to open swell in a single outing. Its hull has the attitude to handle sloppy inlets and afternoon thunderstorms, yet it still drafts shallow enough to nose up close to sandbars or slip into tighter marinas. Twin 200s give confident range for long runs to distant structure or reefs, while still being efficient when you’re just cruising the intracoastal with family. The layout works equally well for trolling weedlines, drifting live baits over nearshore wrecks, or rafting up with friends in a protected cove, making it a versatile choice for this region’s mixed conditions and varied boating styles.
