The Size

Center console boats can range greatly in size. Models are often between 13 and 53 feet long. However large your group of passengers will be, you can find models that will comfortably fit everyone.

The Layout

In the center of the boat, you will find the controls. As a result, passengers are able to walk all around the sides of the center console boat. 

Some center console boats will come with a covered top that offers more protection against the elements, such as rain or harsh sunshine. Some models also come with a sturdy top cover that is positioned over the controls and the boat operator.

The Boating Experience

The placement of the controls at the center can lead to a more stable boating experience. After all, passengers can more evenly distribute their weight from the front to the back of the vessel. It can also be easier to balance the weight from left to right. Whether you venture out into choppy waters or prefer a more leisurely cruise, you can enjoy a smooth boating experience with a center console boat!
