Center console boats are excellent for many purposes. They are extremely popular among anglers, pleasure cruisers, and people who want to have unforgettable experiences with their families. With options that are great for anything from fishing to casual boating, here are some of our best center console boats for a family.
WHAT MAKES A GREAT FAMILY BOAT?
If you’re looking for a center console boat for your family, you first need to understand the specific features that will create a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable experience. For most families, this means modern luxuries, comfort features, space, and plenty of chances to keep the group entertained.
As far as comfort and space, you need to make sure there is enough seating for your whole group—and be sure that the seating will provide comfort and relaxation. You may even need a boat with a cabin, as this can provide protection from the outdoor elements for small children who may not enjoy the heat, wind or rain. A table for eating can also be helpful, even if the table is on the outside deck and not protected in a cabin.
A working head, or bathroom, is also important, as this provides greater convenience and privacy. To put it lightly, your fishing buddies might not need it, but your growing children probably appreciate indoor facilities!
Entertainment can also be important for families. If you plan on taking long trips that last a full day or even multiple nights, having features like televisions and DVD players can help them stay entertained and engaged during the trip. It can also provide a valuable break for both kids and parents.
