A few years back, a 65-foot center-console vessel would have stood out in the industry. Now, as center-consoles keep growing, HCB has introduced the 65’ Estrella, which is now recognized as the largest center-console boat in the world.
Dubbed the inaugural Mega Center Console Yacht, HCB unveiled the impressive 65-foot long and 16-foot wide craft at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in November. To grasp the scale of the 65’ Estrella, consider its wet weight of 65,000 pounds paired with quint Seven Marine outboards. With a fuel capacity of 1,500 gallons, this traditional V-bottom is designed for deep offshore fishing trips.
Size is a defining characteristic of the 65’ Estrella, which offers seating for five at the helm, complete with three full-sized Garmin screens. Under the hardtop, up to 10 individuals can be accommodated, which can also transform into an express dining area.
Uncommonly, this center-console yacht includes a cabin that can sleep up to five guests. The 65’ Estrella comes equipped with a master stateroom featuring a private bathroom and a separate walk-in shower. The headroom in the cabin is notably spacious.
This large vessel comes with a hefty price tag. The 65’ Estrella has a retail price exceeding $3.5 million, with the Seven Marine outboards delivering a total of 2,500 horsepower.
The Florida manufacturer anticipates producing only 65 Estrellas annually due to the size of the boat, as stated by Mike Yobe, vice president of product strategy for HCB Yachts.
