Sailfish Boats Launches The 252 Center Console: Redefining Versatility on The Water
May 6, 2025
Sailfish Boats proudly introduces the all-new 252 Center Console (CC), the next evolution in its legendary center console lineup. Designed for top-tier performance, innovation, and comfort, the 252 CC is as versatile as it is refined.
Welcome to the 252 CC, where innovation, and comfort come together for the ultimate on-water experience. Designed with the modern boater in mind, this center console seamlessly blends fishing functionality with family-friendly features. Thoughtfully engineered details, like flexible layouts, ample storage, and integrated livewells ensure every trip is effortless and enjoyable.
With two available aft deck configurations, the 252 CC allows boaters to match their unique needs and lifestyle. One version features dual 10-gallon livewells beneath a full-width bench seat, with convenient port and starboard transom access—perfect for serious anglers and family days alike.
The alternative layout includes a wide, fold-down rear seat and a single 25-gallon livewell to port, as well as a standard oversized port side entry door with integrated ladder—ideal for diving, docking, or quick reboarding after a swim.
Propulsion on the 252 CC is configurable to the buyer’s needs, with options ranging from a single 300–400 HP outboard to twin 150 or 200 HP engines from Mercury, Yamaha, or Suzuki. These configurations ensure smooth power delivery, fuel efficiency, and strong offshore performance. The ability to choose between single or twin engines allows boaters to fine-tune their experience, optimizing speed, maneuverability, and fuel economy to best suit their needs. Designed for reliability and effortless acceleration, the 252 CC has the right power options to deliver any adventure.
A full-height glass windshield enclosure and oversized hardtop provide exceptional visibility and protection from the elements, allowing captains to navigate with confidence in any weather. This sleek, durable enclosure minimizes wind resistance while maximizing airflow, ensuring a comfortable helm experience.
Not to mention, the dash console is meticulously designed to accommodate up to dual 16-inch Garmin or Simrad GPS displays—offering state-of-the-art navigation, sonar, and engine monitoring. These advanced systems provide real-time data and precision charting, making it easier than ever to plot a course, track fish, or monitor fuel efficiency. Ergonomically arranged controls and a user-friendly interface ensure that every function is within easy reach, giving captains complete control at their fingertips.
The 252 CC features a roomy head compartment forward of the console, equipped with a standard porta-potti with pump-out, or an optional upgrade to an electric marine toilet for added convenience. Up front, the head door also includes a built-in seat. The bow boasts spacious seating with comfortable, built-in articulating backrests that easily convert into bolster pads, plus insulated storage below. This inviting space offers a comfortable respite for guests, ready for whatever adventure you throw at the new 252.
Additional premium options include an ergonomic leaning post with dual upholstered captain’s chairs and storage below, as well as a new optional Baja beach table that perfectly complements the in-deck Baja beach cooler, creating an entertainment-ready space for family and guests. The Sailfish entertainment package adds even more fun with a ski tow pylon, underwater lights, and a Fusion stereo remote, taking your boating experience to the next level.
Like all Sailfish boats, the 252 CC features our innovative Variable Degree Stepped (VDS) hull for a smooth, stable ride in any condition. This three-hulls-in-one design optimizes performance and stability, with a deep 24-degree step cutting through water, a 23-degree surface reducing friction for efficiency, and a 22-degree outer step enhancing stability at rest. As a result, passengers enjoy a comfortable ride without the dreaded rocking, even after a long day on the water.
And with Sailfish’s proprietary Sailtech Construction—incorporating Kevlar, carbon fiber, quad-axial fiberglass mat, and robust Prisma Beam reinforcements—boaters can count on durability, performance, and safety that stands the test of time. Sailtech Construction unites science, materials and human touch to build lasting structural integrity into every hull.
Whether you’re chasing the next trophy fish, heading to the sandbar, or doing both in a single day, the Sailfish 252 CC is designed to exceed every expectation.
