Robalo R272 Center Console

2022 Robalo R272 – Offshore Versatility Meets Premium Comfort

When it comes to combining offshore fishing performance with family-friendly comfort and top-tier construction, few center consoles rival the 2022 Robalo R272. At 27 feet, this deep-V center console offers the size, features, and seaworthiness serious anglers demand, while delivering the style, versatility, and amenities that make it just as appealing for casual cruises, beach days, and sandbar hangouts.

Whether you’re chasing tuna offshore or anchoring out with friends, the R272 is built to perform and designed to impress. With rugged dependability, impressive standard features, and attention to detail at every turn, this is a boat that does it all—without compromise.

Striking Design, Built for Real-World Use

At 27'4" in length with a 9’6” beam, the Robalo R272 delivers a substantial presence on the water. It strikes a perfect balance between sporty agility and offshore capability, boasting high freeboard, a deep V-hull, and sharp lines that slice through waves with confidence. Built on Robalo’s renowned Hydro Lift™ multi-angle hull, the R272 provides a smooth, dry ride even in challenging conditions, while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency and stability at rest.

The 2022 model showcases premium gelcoat finishes, bold hullside graphics, and a sleek, integrated hardtop with powder-coated aluminum supports—providing shade, style, and storage all in one package.

Performance That Backs Up Its Looks

The 2022 R272 comes powered by twin Yamaha outboards, with options ranging from twin 200 HP to 250 HP, giving it the muscle to hit speeds over 50 MPH and cruise efficiently at 30–35 MPH. With hydraulic steering, digital throttle and shift, and Yamaha Helm Master EX compatibility (with joystick control as an option), the R272 delivers both confidence and control whether you’re maneuvering around docks or running offshore.

The 150-gallon fuel capacity ensures extended range for long days offshore or full weekends of island hopping, while trim tabs with indicators come standard to dial in your ride on the fly.

Fishing Features for the Serious Angler

True to its offshore pedigree, the Robalo R272 is loaded with fishing features designed to satisfy tournament-level anglers:

• Twin insulated fish boxes in the aft deck with macerated overboard drains

• 25-gallon pressurized livewell with LED lighting and clear plexi lid

• Rod storage for up to 10 rods (under gunwale and across the hardtop)

• Transom door for hauling in trophy catches or stepping out onto the swim platform

• Prep station with tackle drawers, sink, and bait tray

• Raw and freshwater washdowns

• Non-skid casting deck and high freeboard for confident footing offshore

The deck layout allows 360-degree walkaround access with no obstructions, while flush-mounted stainless steel hardware and drainage channels keep the cockpit dry and clean.

Comfortable, Capable, and Family-Ready

Unlike many fishing-first center consoles, the R272 doesn't forget about the crew. From bow to stern, you'll find thoughtful features designed to maximize comfort and enjoyment:

Spacious Bow Lounge

• Twin forward-facing loungers with thick, premium upholstery and fold-down armrests

• Removable bow table converts the area into a dining or sunbathing zone

• Optional filler cushion creates a large sunpad for full relaxation

Premium Helm Seating

• Dual flip-up bolster helm chairs with armrests and molded footrest

• Rear-facing mezzanine bench with a cooler below

• Fold-down aft bench seat stows cleanly for fishing space but opens up for extra seating at rest

Oversized Hardtop and Enclosure

• Integrated hardtop with LED lighting, electronics box, and speakers

• Optional three-sided windshield enclosure provides protection without sacrificing visibility

• Overhead storage, rod holders, and powder-coated supports complete the premium feel

Helm Technology and Functionality

At the helm, everything is exactly where it should be. The R272's dash is built to accommodate dual 12" displays, and most models come equipped with Garmin or Simrad electronics, offering full GPS, sonar, and radar capabilities. A Yamaha digital engine display, VHF radio, trim tab controls, and electronic switch panel round out the tech package.

Other helm highlights:

• Tilt steering wheel with stainless knob

• Digital switching with backlit push buttons

• USB and 12V charging ports

• Lockable glovebox and cup holders

The footrest, ergonomic seating position, and clear sightlines make long days at the wheel more enjoyable and fatigue-free.

Enclosed Head with Unexpected Amenities

The R272 features a surprisingly spacious enclosed head inside the console, accessed via a portside entry door. Inside, you’ll find:

• Vacuflush® porcelain toilet with holding tank and overboard discharge

• Solid-surface countertop with stainless sink

• Opening porthole for ventilation

• LED lighting and storage cabinetry

This space is a game-changer for families, guests, and those spending full days—or overnights—on the water.

Storage & Convenience Throughout

Storage is generous and well-distributed across the boat:

• Under-seat and in-deck compartments

• Dedicated tackle storage at the leaning post

• Anchor locker with optional windlass and through-hull anchor chute

• Dry console storage with battery access

• Swim platform lockers for lines and gear

Every hatch is finished on both sides, gasket-sealed, and supported with stainless gas struts, a premium touch Robalo doesn’t overlook.
