Fishing Features

For anglers who expect serious performance from their boat, the Robalo R270 has everything you’d need. The boat is equipped with two large 50-gallon in-floor fish boxes, perfect for keeping your catch fresh throughout the day. These insulated boxes ensure that even after hours on the water, your catch remains fresh. The 30-gallon livewell, mounted in the aft gunwale, and 20 gallon bow livewell provide ample room for bait. Whether you’re offshore fishing or just dropping a line, these features ensure that you’re ready for anything.

The R270 also boasts plenty of rod storage. Gunnel-mounted rod holders and under-gunwale racks keep your gear organized and within easy reach, while the wide aft cockpit ensures you have space to cast and move freely. This boat is designed for versatility, so whether you’re trolling or bottom fishing, the setup makes it easy to adapt to different styles.

The deep-V hull design ensures that you can tackle offshore conditions with confidence. It’s stable and cuts through rough water while keeping you and your passengers dry. This is particularly important for serious anglers who often find themselves venturing into unpredictable waters. The standard hardtop provides shade but also features a rocket launcher for extra rod storage, which is a must-have for anyone planning an all-day fishing trip.

Family Features

While the R270 is a fishing machine, it’s also built with the whole family in mind. The bow area features comfortable wrap-around seating that can easily be transformed into a lounge area with the bow filler cushion. The seating also has integrated storage underneath, perfect for stowing away personal items or extra gear. With removable backrests, this area can quickly shift from a fishing space to a social zone, making it versatile enough for any activity.

At the heart of the R270’s family-friendly design is the spacious head compartment located in the console. This compartment comes with a porcelain toilet and even additional storage space, making it perfect for longer trips where comfort is key. The wide beam of the R270 ensures that everyone onboard has plenty of room to relax, even when fully loaded with passengers.

The boat’s wide, easy-to-access swim platform comes with a boarding ladder, providing simple access to and from the water, ideal for swimming or diving. The freshwater shower located aft is also perfect for rinsing off after a swim, making the transition from water-based activities to relaxing onboard seamless.

Additional Standard Features

Robalo has equipped the R270 with a host of standard features that enhance comfort, safety, and overall functionality. The standard hardtop provides excellent protection from the sun and the elements, and it includes integrated LED spreader lights for nighttime trips. The full-featured helm has everything you need, including a standard 12-inch Garmin display, digital engine controls, and a stainless steel tilt steering wheel for smooth navigation.

Safety is built into the design with a self-bailing cockpit, stainless steel grab rails, and non-skid surfaces throughout the deck. The self-bailing cockpit ensures that water drains out quickly, keeping the deck dry and reducing the risk of slips. The grab rails add security for passengers moving about the boat, especially when conditions get rough.

For added convenience, the boat also comes standard with a freshwater shower and washdown system, making it easy to clean the boat or rinse off after a swim or day of fishing.

Optional Features

For those who want to tailor their R270 to meet specific needs, Robalo offers a wide range of optional features. You can upgrade the electronics package to include dual Simrad displays, which provide enhanced navigation and fishfinding capabilities. This option is ideal for anglers who want the latest technology at their fingertips, helping them navigate confidently and track fish more effectively.

The optional underwater LED lights add both style and functionality, illuminating the water beneath you for a stunning visual effect during evening cruises. The forward canvas fly provides extra protection from the sun, ensuring passengers stay comfortable no matter how long you’re out on the water.

Anglers looking to further enhance their fishing setup can opt for a 36V Minn Kota Riptide Terrova Quest trolling motor or install Gemlux outriggers for more effective trolling. These upgrades make the R270 even more of a fishing powerhouse, especially for those planning to spend long hours offshore. If you’re looking to customize the boat’s look, you can choose from custom hull colors, a windlass anchor system, or upgraded seating for a more luxurious feel.
