2026 Everglades 285 Center Console

If you're the kind of boater who refuses to choose between a serious offshore mission and a sun-drenched family sandbar day, the Everglades 285CC is your new best friend. This center console is a master of the "quick change," designed for those who want a yacht-like feel without sacrificing fish-fighting grit.

The 285CC is perfect for the active owner who loves a crowd. Need a social hub? The dual helm seats rotate to face the mezzanine and folding aft bench seats, creating a plush lounge for post-catch celebrations. If a tranquil afternoon is on the agenda, the bow transforms from a massive casting deck into a sprawling sun pad or a breezy dining area with its own pedestal table. It's ideal for hosting sunset cruises or letting the kids jump off the integrated swim platform.

For the angler, this boat is a tactical dream. With a single-level cockpit for 360-degree fishability, a 25-gallon circulating livewell, and a massive 60-gallon in-deck fish box, it's ready to chase trophies at a moment's notice. Whether you're trolling offshore or exploring hidden coves, the patented RAMCAP construction ensures a ride so smooth and quiet you might forget you're on the open water. Powered by twin Yamaha engines, this unsinkable beauty provides the agility to explore further and the comfort to stay out longer.
