Whether you're aiming to enhance your fishing experience or enjoy additional activities, the Cobia 265 CC and 265 CC Open are excellent choices. They come equipped with a variety of standard features, including a side entry door that opens inward, a newly designed 58” aft fold-out bench complete with a backrest, dual fuel fills, and an intuitive helm that supports up to two 16” screens. You can also add an integrated hardtop frame featuring a tempered glass enclosure, wiper, and vent. The upgraded Garmin electronics package makes it easy to find the best fishing locations or your preferred sandbar, while the new Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor option ensures you stay right on your target spot.

The 265 CC Open is tailored for fishing enthusiasts, featuring a layout that maximizes space for both the crew and equipment. A key highlight is the expanded open area at both the front and back, allowing easy access to the bow and stern. With the larger cockpit you can customize your experience with various helm seat configurations. Additionally, there’s a forward console jump seat that offers a relaxing spot when needed but can be easily stowed away. For those looking to enhance their fishing experience, an optional deep drop setup with electric reel outlets is available to help increase your chances of a successful catch.

Specifications and Features Comparisons

The Cobia 265 CC and 265 CC Open are very similar in a number of ways. Most of the specifications and features are near identical, save for a few differences in open-ness. The 265 CC Open helm has 5 square feet more of space and comes with an open bow and stern. The additional forward and aft space allow for better fishing from either end of the boat.
