The Miami boat shows are known as premier places to check out the latest saltwater fishing boats, and this year was no exception. This gallery presents more than a dozen new boats, most of them center consoles from about 30 to 40 feet, powered with multiple outboards, that were recently introduced in Miami.
Even bigger center consoles are on the way. Three companies presented model-size displays of their supersized open boats — from 52 to 65 feet — that will debut in the next year or two.
Center consoles shared the stage with other types of fishboats, ranging from 18-foot skiffs to 72-foot convertibles.
The shows on Collins Avenue and Virginia Key also showcased new marine electronics designed for anglers, such as the new GPS station-keeping devices that can be programmed to control a boat’s drift. They’re cool, and they’re cutting-edge.
So sit back and enjoy the latest and greatest from Miami in the slideshow below:
