256 Express
Fish, entertain or cruise the weekend without compromises.
Overview
Whether you’re trolling for sailfish or hosting a sunset cruise, the Cobia 256 Express will make you proud. Every inch of space is filled with smart features that make for an enjoyable day on the water. The spacious cockpit abounds with standard fishing compliments like a 28-gallon livewell, two massive fish boxes, seven gunnel rodholders and rod storage boxes. When the fishing day is finished, fold out seating converts the area into a lounging deck for seven guests. The oversized cabin has plush interiors with a refrigerator, a head and a surprisingly large berth for a boat this size. Dollar for dollar and feature for feature, the 256 Express is at the top of its class.
