2016 Sensation Boats 23 Offshore Cabrito

Space, both stowage and deck, are some of the first impressions when boarding the craft. It certainly has its fair share of both. While all centre console boats offer plenty of deck space, Sensation Boats have provided a layout that will cater for almost any eventuality. Starting in the bow there is an easily accessible anchor hatch just forward of the U-shaped bow seats which have stowage space cleverly positioned below them.

Moving aft, there is another comfortable seat just in front of the centre console above the fuel hatch. The console itself is well designed with plenty of space for gauges and sounders, as well as an area above the windscreen suitable for mounting the radio, plus a sound system head unit of your choice. The console area is protected by a solid, light-weight composite roof which is supported on a robust, aluminium frame.

On the test boat, outrigger supports were mounted on top of the T-top roof, together with the necessary radio antennas. There is another large hatch underneath the console offering added storage for the necessary items when out on a fishing trip or simply cruising with friends and family.

Back-to-back with the skipper’s seat is another bench seat above yet another storage hatch that offers additional packing
space particularly for important items such as cameras bags and other expensive items.

Access to the below-deck fish hatch is immediately aft of this seat and it is situated within easy reach when you’re out on the
water, and, hopefully when the fish are biting! The false transom does not extend the full width of the boat; it is lower on each side allowing for water to flow easily over the stern should the boat be swamped during a surf launch.

The raised centre section holds a live bait well with Luna tubes either side and the convenient battery hatch underneath.

There are plenty of rod and cup holders in convenient locations throughout the craft to offer all those in attendance a safe haven for their all-important beverages of choice.

While the standard layout is suitable for most applications, should you have specific requirements, Sensation Boats are able to customise a boat suited to your particular style of fishing or chartering. Just ask the competent staff at Sensation Boats and they’ll surely oblige by building you the boat of your dreams.
