Bow
The bow of the 2025 Cobia Boats 301 CC is fully decked out for socialization with U-shaped seating. If you want to extend the seating area, you can swing out the backrests to create full-length loungers.

Throughout the seating you will find built in speakers and cup holders.
There is an electric cocktail table that sits in the middle of the U-shaped seating. This table rises up and down and is flush with the deck when not in use. The table can be used as a full-size casting deck when set at the same height as the loungers.
There are grab rails that surround the bow to ensure safety while on the water.
If you want to turn the bow of the ship into a fishing arena, you can remove the cushions from the seating as this will reveal additional rod holders and two fish boxes that are each 40 gallons in capacity. There is plenty of in-floor storage in this area as well.
At the front of the helm station, you will find a small bench seat that easily flips open to provide additional dry storage underneath.
