Helm

The captain of the boat is arguably one of the most important parts of the boat and because of that, Cigarette Racing knows how to hook you up with an awesome helm.

At the helm, you will find flush-mounted, dual 24-inch Garmin multifunction display screens. These screens are easy to use and are resistant to heat, fingerprints, and reflection allowing you to always see them unobstructed.

You can easily and seamlessly control your boat right at your fingertips while keeping an eye on the navigation screen. The digital switching feature gives you the ultimate control you need and you can start all six engines with the single press of a button.

In addition to the console area at the helm, the helm is also fitted with an electric sliding door to the side, cup holders, and grab bars.

Helm Seating

Located right behind the helm are seven plush forward facing seats. The captain’s and co-captain’s chair are shifted in the forward direction to provide better visibility. The second row of seats are staggered from the first row to the second to ensure each passenger has an excellent view of the water and their surroundings.

All seating at the helm can shift up or down with the simple touch of a button allowing you to adjust seats and visibility as needed.
