This year’s Sanctuary Cove Boat Show is set to feature a standout line-up from Robalo Boats, showcasing both Centre Console and Dual Console models. Among the highlights is the impressive R317 – Robalo’s flagship dual console model – a vessel that embodies innovation, performance, and luxury.

Represented by their Queensland dealer, Spirit Marine, Robalo is poised to go head-to-head with leading U.S. fishing boat brands in a spirited contest to capture the attention of Queensland’s boating enthusiasts – from serious anglers to fun-loving families.
With a legacy dating back to 1968, Robalo has long been a premium name in the U.S. boating market. Today, it holds the coveted title of the #1 fishing boat brand in America for vessels ranging from 18 to 32 feet – a testament to its enduring quality and design excellence.
According to Scott O’Hare of Robalo Australia, the boats are widely respected not just for their high-end finish and robust construction, but for what truly sets them apart – their unique hull design.
“These boats deliver an unbelievably smooth ride,” says O’Hare. “Where you’d normally expect to feel the impact when hitting big waves or swells, Robalo’s advanced hull design absorbs the shock, making for a comfortable experience in rough conditions. You really have to ride one to appreciate the difference.”

Another key feature is Robalo’s patented Extended V-Plane Hull, which significantly enhances fuel efficiency and contributes to a stable, confident ride. Paired with a generous list of standard features, Robalo models deliver exceptional value, making them hard to overlook when comparing quality and price.
The brand’s innovative crossover range is a particular standout, offering multifunctional design suited for both fishing and leisure. With flexible cockpit layouts, integrated toilets, and options for single or twin outboard setups, these boats seamlessly blend hardcore fishability with family-friendly comfort.
“Today’s boaters want more than just a fishing platform,” adds O’Hare. “They want something that’s versatile enough for cruising, skiing, and day-tripping. Robalo delivers on all fronts – better features, better finishes, and unbeatable value.”
Visitors to Sanctuary Cove will be able to see the full Robalo range up close at E-Pier, where Spirit Marine will be on hand to guide them through the options and exclusive offers.
