The 285 Open is designed for both the avid family angler and the dedicated tournament-driven angler. With an increased focus on the open space layout for full walk-up access to the bow and stern, the 285 Open takes fishing features even a step further by adding two additional cockpit insulated fish boxes with macerated overboard drains, standard kite rod holders and an optional deep drop set-up that includes reinforced gunnel boards and electric reel outlets.

Additional upgrades include a Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor and enhanced JL Audio sound system packages with 10” subwoofers and up to 10 speakers that are strategically positioned to optimize the sound no matter where you are sitting, standing or fishing from on the boat. With an LOA of 28’ 5”, a beam of 9’ 11” and versatile seating options, you’ll have plenty of room for all your crew. Get to your favorite spot faster and fish all day with multiple twin engine options – up to 700 maximum horsepower. The helm can accommodate dual 16” Garmin screens, so navigating is second nature. The premium helm seat with tackle center and cooler with slide is standard on the Open or opt in for a version that includes space for more tackle, prep or an added Seakeeper 1.

Why you buy a boat matters. That’s why which one you buy is even more important. Cobia boats are the perfect balance of fishing smarts and comfort, letting you HAVE IT ALL.
