2025 Everglades Boats 455 CC Review

The 2025 Everglades Boats 455 CC is a serious addition to the wonderful world of recreational boating and offshore fishing. This boat is designed for both anglers and families alike making it a phenomenal choice for many. Combining rugged durability and cutting-edge technology, this center console boat sets the standard high for performance out on the water. What makes this boat stand out amongst its competition is its spacious layout, durable construction, and innovative technology. Whether you are looking for a relaxing day on the water or you want to wade some rough waters to score a trophy fish in a tournament, the 455 CC is a great choice.

It is no wonder that the 455 CC is a standout vessel as it was designed and manufactured by Everglades Boats, which was started by Bob Dougherty. Dougherty has been described as a man who is not only an adventure seeker but someone who has a passion for solving problems and innovation, which has led to him becoming an amazing boat builder.

What makes Everglades Boats so desirable and highly sought after, including the 455 CC, is the hull. If you want a boat that is considered unsinkable, look no further. Everglades Boats has created the RAMCAP hull, which ensures safety out on the water. The RAMCAP is the only hull construction process that takes high-density foam that is pre-molded and fits it in between the liner and hull. The hull, liner, and foam are then all cured into a single piece. RAMCAP’s foam is three times stronger than the industry foam which means it will not only provide more durability on the water, but it will keep you safer, even in rough water. Some additional benefits of the RAMCAP hull include reduced vibration and sound, superior stability and maneuverability, and increased control.

The 2025 Everglades Boats 455 CC is not just a boat, it is an adventure waiting to happen making it a top choice amongst anglers who want to extend their time on the water.

Walkthrough of the 2025 Everglades Boats 455 CC

As the flagship model of the Everglades Boats models, the 455 CC deserves the title and will blow you away. It offers a lovely combination of performance matched with comfort and convenience without having to sacrifice one for the other. This vessel truly sets the stage and raises the bar for other center consoles.

In this walkthrough, we will review some of the most prominent features of the boat that we believe helped truly mold it into the perfect vessel.

Bow

When it comes to safety, Everglades Boats takes nothing for granted and this is not only showcased in the construction of their boats, but also in the fine details. At the bow, you will instantly notice that there is a high freeboard, which is perfect for helping keep passengers, including children, safe while sitting and cruising on board. The freeboard also includes hand holds and bars for further peace of mind and stability.

The anchor is located here in the bow as well and has its own storage and space. In fact, it is tucked away for a clean and sleek look so as not to detract from the true beauty of this boat. Inside the anchor storage area you will find a wash down station.

Seating at the bow includes loungers that are constructed from mezzanine. Each lounger has built-in cup holders which can also double as rod holders.

The seating here doubles as storage space as the seats flip up and offer you an illuminated storage area that can be insulated to double as a cooler. One of the nice things about this storage is that you do not have to remove the cushions and go through a process to access it. In fact, all you need to do is simply lift up the seat and then close it.

Other features located in this area include electric reels, USB ports, and a controller for the table.

Situated between the loungers is a table that serves multiple purposes. In fact, you can leave it flush with the floor to be out of sight, you can use it as a sun pad, you can use it as a table for serving snacks and drinks, or you can use it as a casting platform.

Built into the floor at the bow is a 75-gallon fish box.

Heading away from the bow and towards the walkway on the boat, you will see additional mezzanine seating for three people. These seats include both arm rests, USB ports, drink holders, and also a hand rail to the side of each of the end seats for safety. In front of the seat is a padded foot rest that doubles as a cooler for your drinks and food.

Walkways

Both walkways at starboard and port feature fuel fills, pop up cleats, water fills, and fender pins.

Space is not wasted in these areas either and Everglades Boats has built storage into the sides of the walkways to maximize space.

Helm

Moving to the helm, you will find that it is outfitted with a tempered glass windshield that is large in size allowing you a great view.

Everglades Boats has placed their patented hydraulic windshield on this flagship model. The windshield moves up and down delivering the opportunity for you to socialize with your passengers or even allow the flow of fresh air.

The console area is fitted with 3 Garmin 9222 screens, a VHF Garmin 315, and a Yamaha joystick. The steering wheel is made from carbon fiber and easily tilts so that you can find the perfect adjustment for comfort while steering.

At the console area, you will also find auto pilot buttons and a built-in automatic fire suppression system. One of the touchscreens is dedicated to digital switching, which makes it easy and simple for you. The touchscreen is easy to use and user friendly.

Some creature comforts in the helm include a built-in phone charger, drink holders, built-in fatigue mat, under the seat tackle storage, and storage drawers on both the starboard and port sides of the helm.

Since it does get hot outside, especially in the summer, you have nothing to worry about as the entire helm is air conditioned.

The helm does feature first and second row seating. The first row of seats are marine teak ladderback seats that feature SHOX suspension for amazing comfort. These seats have arm rests and rotate for supreme comfort and viewing while on the water. The second set of three seats fold down and include a foot rest in front. The end seats all include hand rails for added safety along with cup holders and storage underneath.

Lastly, there is a built-in helm riser under the first row helm seats that pulls out and then locks into place. This riser allows you an advantage of site when standing on it.

Cockpit and Beam

Directly situated behind the second row of helm seats is two oversized seats that face the rear of the boat. These seats are covered by a retractable sun shade that include air conditioning. These mezzanine seats feature a pull down foot rest, drink holders, hand rails, and a cooler beneath the seats.

At the beam you will find full beam seating for up to 8 passengers. These seats fold up completely when they are not in use.

On the 2025 Everglades Boats 455 CC there are both port and starboard dive doors. These doors include a bolster, which flips up and doubles as additional cup holders when the door is in use. One unique feature of the 455 CC is that once the dive door is open, it conceals into a pocket, so the door stays out of the way and hidden.

Tower

Located right above the helm and cockpit is the tower. This tower provides you with a bird’s eye view of the water and the boat.

Up on the tower is three thigh rise seats that fold down to sit on. These seats are plush and made for comfort.

There is a cooler built into the tower helm.

The upper helm includes all of the same features and controls as the lower helm so that you can completely control your boat from the tower, if you choose to. You can even easily communicate using the VHF.

Cabin and Head

The 2025 Everglades Boats 455 CC features both a cabin and head on board. The door to enter the cabin is located on the port side. The door sits flush with the boat, is lockable from the inside, and is completely weathertight.

Once the door to the cabin opens, you can step down inside. The interior head is bright and airy as it gains light from the cockpit. There is a private shower too.

Moving further into the cabin is a galley that is equipped with seating, a sink, storage, and more.  The seating within the galley can be moved around after lowering the table to create a berth that easily sleeps two adults.

Engine

The 2025 Everglades Boats 455 CC has two different options when it comes to engines. The best option for you will depend on your personal preferences.

Both engine options offer fast and smooth acceleration, fuel efficiency, and superior control.
