Why You Want a Center Console Boat

Boating isn’t just a pastime or part of a profession, here on the Gulf Coast—it’s a way of life! Unfortunately, that means it’s even more important to get a boat that’s truly perfect for you, which can be difficult.

Unique Design

If novelty and unique design aspects are what you look for in a boat, then you can’t go wrong with a center console model. As you might have guessed from the name, these boats have all the controls at the center of the vessel, including steering, ignition, and control panels.

With this design, passengers are free to navigate the edges of the boat without obstacles, making it easier to navigate the deck and providing some much-needed breathing space.

Variety of Sizes

Naturally, different boating methods and goals will require different sizes of boat. Luckily, there is a staggering variety of sizes that center console boats can come in. Compact models might get as small as 13’, but if you’re an experienced mariner and want a little more boat, there are center console models that reach up to 53’ in length! And of course, there are plenty of models that land in between these extremes, making it easy to find exactly the length of boat you need for your style of boating.

Variety of Features

Just like with size, different boating expeditions will benefit from different features and levels of luxury. Center console boats run the gamut there, as well. There are utilitarian models with only the bare necessities, minimizing the clutter and cutting down on the price ranges. These boats are ideal for strict budgets and specific needs, especially since you can always add upgrades as your needs necessitate (and as your bank account allows).

Meanwhile, there are loads of luxury models that come with all the bells and whistles, up to and including a cozy cabin with sleeping quarters, bathroom, and kitchenette. You can explore or fish all day long, then take a relaxing nap all in one location.
