A Beginner's Guide to Center Console Boats

Most boats place their controls at the front, but center console boats take a different approach. As the name implies, their controls are placed at the center of the boat. Read on to learn more about these unique models.

The Design

In the center of these models, you'll find the controls. This usually includes the control panel, steering, and ignition. Those on board can walk all around this station and reach the front of the model, which is usually not accessible on a typical boat.

The Size

The length of center console boats can vary from 13 feet long to 53 feet long. Whatever size you want, there are models to match!

The Features

Different models will offer different features. Some center console boats are built with affordability in mind, so they are more simple with their amenities.

Other center console boats come with added perks. They increase the model's asking price, but they can also increase the enjoyment on the water.

One common feature is a cabin. This provides the amenities needed for a comfortable overnight stay on the water.

Another common feature is an expansive amount of storage space, which makes it easy to bring along everything you need for a comfortable voyage.
