Want proof? Just look at the 290cc from Everglades Boats, the latest achievement in our line of high-end offshore family fishing boats. Engineering wise, this boat is the spitting image of our 290 Pilot, which received top honors at the 2005 NMMA Innovation Awards in Miami - sole winner in the Fishing Boats category for innovative achievement. Space wise, the open center console provides ample room for moving about the cockpit and deck.

Obviously, the innovation didn't stop there.

Like the 290 Pilot, this 29-footer was meticulously designed by Bob and Stephen Dougherty, NMMA award winners an unprecedented three times. And, just like its closest kin, the 290cc comes loaded with standard features that are unique to the boat or available merely as options from our competitors: fully integrated hardtop / windshield combination with wing vents, windshield wiper with washer, and anchor windlass, for starters.

In distinct Everglades style, the 290cc boasts an abundance of cleverly recessed storage areas, snugly securing gear and belongings in roomy, fiberglass finished compartments. With Everglades' signature seats at the stern, helm and forward of the console, this model also offers unparalleled comfort for family and friends - it's a true family fishing boat.

Finished inside and out, the 290cc features white powder-coated rails and red L.E.D. lights throughout the boat for added safety. And like all Everglades boats, the 290cc incorporates our patented RAMCAP construction process, creating a truly unsinkable offshore fishing boat for the safest, most comfortable experience on the water.
