Cobia Boats Launches All-New 305 Center Console

Fort Pierce, FL – August 7, 2025 – Cobia Boats, a division of Maverick Boat Group and a leader in premium center and dual console fishing vessels, is proud to unveil the all-new Cobia 305 Center Console (305 CC). Blending offshore capability with refined comfort and style, the 305 CC brings a new level of versatility to the 30-foot class.

Built to Perform, Designed to Have It All
With a length overall of 30 feet 5 inches and a 10-foot-6-inch beam, the Cobia 305 CC delivers an unmatched combination of space, power, and performance in the 30-foot category. Rated for up to 800 horsepower, it leads its class, offering one of the largest, most functional deck layouts in its segment, ideal for serious fishing and effortless entertaining.

Built using Cobia’s advanced VARIS (Vacuum-Assisted Resin Infusion System), the 305 CC features a hull that is lighter, stronger, and more fuel-efficient than traditional fiberglass layup methods, providing a smoother, drier ride even in challenging offshore conditions. It also offers the option for the Seakeeper Ride system, a cuttingedge, integrated dynamic trim and stability system, further enhancing control, safety, and comfort on the water.

“The 305 CC is a perfect expression of what Cobia is all about: true fishability, family comfort, and performance you can count on,” said Chris Gratz, President of Maverick Boat Group. “With smart features and next-generation styling that elevates the boat’s aesthetic, the 305 CC is a game-changer for the segment.”

Fishing Muscle Meets Family Functionality
Serious anglers will find all the features they expect in a Cobia including dual insulated transom livewells, quadinsulated & macerated in-floor fish boxes, dedicated tackle storage, and strategically placed rod holders throughout. Meanwhile, families will appreciate plush forward seating, a convertible bow lounge, fold-away cockpit seating, and an oversized forward-entry head with 6’2″ of headroom.

From offshore expeditions to sunset cruises, the Cobia 305 CC is ready to deliver comfort, reliability, and performance.

The 305 CC is available for order through Cobia’s authorized dealer network nationwide. The first boats will be on display to the public beginning July 2025. To learn more about the new Cobia 305 CC or to schedule a sea trial, visit cobiaboats.com or contact your local Cobia dealer.
