Few center consoles carry a reputation like the Yellowfin 36 Offshore. Known for its smooth, dry ride and its ability to handle anything from a calm sandbar afternoon to a long offshore run, the 36 has remained one of the most sought-after boats in its class for over two decades. Repowered with triple 2023 Mercury Verado 400s backed by Mercury Gold Warranty through January 2028, this 36 Offshore has been maintained by a full-time captain, and she shows the level of care you would expect from a professionally run vessel - recently updated upholstery from Yellowfin, a full Simrad electronics package, and custom covers protecting the seating throughout. Cruising comfortably at 40 knots, this is a boat equally suited for family days on the water, cruising, or a serious day of fishing when the bite is on. Here is a complete look at everything this Yellowfin has to offer.

Yellowfin 36 Offshore: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Yellowfin 36 Offshore is a 36-foot, 8-inch center console boat designed for offshore fishing and rugged blue water use. It features a beam of 10 feet and an empty weight of 9,500 pounds. The test boat was equipped with triple 300-horsepower Evernute E-TECH G2 outboard engines, providing an alternative to traditional four-stroke powerplants. This triple installation aims to deliver strong low and mid-range torque and fuel efficiency.
Power and Performance
During testing, the Yellowfin 36 Offshore, powered by three Evernute E-TECH G2 300 outboards turning 15 by 22 RX4 propellers, achieved a top speed of 60 miles per hour at 5850 RPM. The most economical cruise speed was 31.5 knots at 3500 RPM, with a total fuel burn of 25.4 gallons per hour, equating to approximately 1.2 miles per gallon. This allowed for a range of 533 miles while maintaining a 10 percent fuel reserve from the boat's total 477-gallon fuel capacity. Acceleration was brisk, with the boat planing in 4 seconds, reaching 20 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 7.7 seconds.
Exterior Design and Cockpit Layout
The stern features a swim platform finished in C-DEC non-skid material, facilitating safe footing and easy movement around the triple outboard engines. A starboard reboarding ladder folds neatly under a powder-coated tubular platform extension with a grab handle. The transom includes vertical rod holders and a centrally located livewell with a thick acrylic lid, gasketed closure, and lift-and-lock latch to prevent bait sloshing. The cockpit measures 8 feet wide by 3 feet 10 inches aft, with deep 25-inch bulwarks and under-gunnel rod racks padded to protect reels. Storage is abundant, with multiple lockers in the cockpit sole and quarters, including mechanical access to fuel filters and livewell plumbing. Eight rod holders line each side of the cockpit, some doubling as beverage holders, and combing pads extend from the aft port quarter to the bow. The bow area includes a recessed rail set 34 inches above deck, a pop-up navigation light, pull-up mooring cleats, and a large self-draining coffin box with gas-assist strut and cushioned lid. Additional storage lockers and fold-down racks for dive tanks or fenders are integrated into the forward deck.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station is offset to port and features a stainless steel tilt steering wheel with knob, a compass, and dual 15.6-inch Raymarine Axiom XL touchscreen displays. The lower dash panel houses controls for the windlass, Fusion stereo, engine tilt and trim, and Evernute's Icon Touch 7-inch color touchscreen helm display. The Icon Touch system provides comprehensive engine monitoring and control, including RPM, fuel flow, water temperature, and automated I-steer and I-trim functions. The Icon II Premium EST engine shift and throttle binnacle offers LED indicators for gear status, trim, tilt, engine syncing, and an RPM adjustment key for fine control. Additional helm equipment includes Raymarine autopilot, trim tab controls, VHF microphone, and USB charging ports. The helm seat is ergonomically designed with flip-up bolsters and armrests, providing comfort and support during extended offshore runs. Beneath the seat is a locker housing the batteries. An angled C-DEC footrest is integrated into the console, though its positioning may require adjustment for comfort.
Upper Helm and Hardtop
Access to the upper helm is gained through a sunroof, where the captain can stand atop the console finished in C-DEC. The upper helm includes a 9-inch Raymarine Axiom display, windlass and trim tab controls, engine controls, and a tilt steering wheel with knob. The power-actuated seat offers fore and aft movement and includes a rail that doubles as a footrest. The robust hardtop frame is constructed from 2.25-inch diameter tubular steel coated with Line-X for durability. It integrates grab handles, five rocket launcher rod holders aft, and mounting points for outriggers. A large LED light bar and an optional forward-looking infrared thermal imaging system are mounted on the forward edge of the hardtop. Flip-out stowage bins are located midships, and Isinglass enclosure channels are installed for weather protection.
Additional Features and Amenities
The boat's design incorporates thoughtful details such as well-labeled freshwater engine flushing hose connections, deep cockpit scuppers with drainage channels, and a livewell concealed beneath the aft-facing leaning post seat. The console's forward-facing seat lifts to reveal a large locker that can double as a head compartment, offering over four feet of headroom and a dome light. The door is gasketed and supported by gas-assist struts to keep the space dry. Rod holders are strategically placed throughout the boat, many serving dual purposes as beverage holders. The extensive use of C-DEC non-skid surfaces throughout the deck and cockpit ensures safety and durability in demanding offshore conditions.
Conclusion
The Yellowfin 36 Offshore, equipped with triple Evernute E-TECH G2 300 outboards, delivers a compelling combination of performance, efficiency, and functional design tailored for serious offshore anglers. Its rapid acceleration, high top speed, and economical cruising capabilities are complemented by a well-thought-out cockpit layout, advanced helm electronics, and robust construction. The boat's features reflect a focus on practicality and comfort for extended offshore excursions, making it a strong contender in the offshore center console category.
