285cc Key Highlights

Everglades boat cockpit with creamy seats and clear blue sky over calm ocean

Power at your Fingertips

Dual Garmin displays provide high definition touchscreen controls while integrated digital switching allows you to control every part of the vessel from your command center.

Versatility to Maximize Utility

A helm seat that rotates into a rear facing mezzanine seat not only maximizes deck space, but also allows you to transform the layout to meet your needs.

Thoughtful Design

The hardtop of this center console features a built in handrail to make boarding easier, but also has dual function as it channels water aft to help with water management in inclement weather.

Hear From Real Everglades Owners

Aurther H 355 CC

This is my 4th Everglades owned and I have to say what draws me to the brand is the fit and finish. For me feeling safe and in control in the water always comes first. I do not know any other boat manufacturer out there that gives me that feeling quite like Everglades. Arthur Hernandez

Michael W 355t

I've been fishing in the Keys since 1998 and my new 355T is a perfect platform for ease of fishing, safety while in rough conditions, providing comfort and convenient operation for a wonderful boating or fishing experience. I can't say enough about my 355T.

Joel A Better than expected

Best boat I ever owned. Smoothest ride - hands down. There's no substitute for weight! Plenty of modern comforts but still a fishing machine. Finally a boat the family loves as much as I do. Everything about it is solid and made to last. Worth the price! This one's a keeper and probably the last boat I'll ever buy.

Larry C Everglades 325

Excellent all purpose boat. Fishes well and wife loves it. Great boat for the whole family to enjoy whether fishing, swimming, picnicing or joy riding with the grandkids.

David G Everglades 255

My wife and I have been boating for over 40 years. We have owned one sail boat and 7 power boats. Of those 7 power boats 2 have been Boston Whalers and 2 Everglades. Now that we live in Key west we finally settled on the 255 CC. It is the perfect size for here in Key West. We can run thru "skinny" water on the Gulf side and take on whatever we wish to take on in the Atlantic. The twin 200's are very economical but can also hustle us home ahead of a storm. Everyone says it is a beauty.
