For serious anglers and adventure-seeking families in Maryland, the waters beyond the Chesapeake Bay represent a proving ground. Whether you’re making the long run to the mid-Atlantic canyons for tuna or seeking big rockfish well past the bay bridge, you need a vessel that is more than just a fair-weather toy. You need a purpose-built offshore machine that promises safety, speed, and comfort.

This is precisely why the Blackfin 272 CC has rapidly become the preferred Blackfin Center Console among experienced boaters from Edgewater and Annapolis. It successfully blends the legendary durability of the Blackfin name with modern engineering and luxurious appointments. This boat isn’t a compromise; it’s a finely tuned instrument for tackling the unpredictable nature of the Atlantic.

At 27 feet, 2 inches, the Blackfin 272 CC hits the sweet spot for versatility, offering the robust capability of a much larger vessel while remaining manageable for a dedicated owner. Let’s dive into the core reasons this boat is the ultimate partner for those who heed the call of the deep.

The Hull – Performance That Tames the Chop

The primary function of any offshore boat is a superior ride, and the Blackfin 272 CC delivers this through its foundational design: a deep-V hull with a proven 22-degree deadrise at the transom.

This hull geometry is the secret weapon for Maryland offshore adventurers. It is expertly designed to slice through heavy ocean chop, providing a drier, softer, and more predictable ride than flatter-bottomed boats. When you’re dealing with the unpredictable conditions outside the Chesapeake Bay, the stability and solid feel of a Blackfin 272 make all the difference between a punishing trip and a confident voyage.

Built for the Catch – Professional-Grade Fishing Features

The Blackfin 272 CC does not just tolerate fishing; it is optimized for it. Every component of the cockpit and console is arranged to enhance efficiency, safety, and success when the bite is on.

• Dedicated Bait and Catch Management

  The boat includes ample, high-capacity livewells to keep bait fresh. For the catch, two large, insulated in-floor fish boxes with macerator pump-outs keep your prize cold and the deck clean.

• The Command Center

  The helm is spacious enough to mount dual large-screen marine electronics, giving the captain full visibility and control over navigation and fish-finding technology.

• Ready for Battle

  Strategic rod holders line the gunwales and transom, with additional rocket launchers often integrated into the hardtop, ensuring quick deployment and storage. The wide, secure gunwales also feature coaming bolsters, providing crucial leverage when reeling in a hard-fighting fish.

This meticulous attention to fishing detail separates the Blackfin 272 CC from casual family boats.

All-Day Comfort and Family Functionality

While its DNA is rooted in fishing, the Blackfin 272 CC smartly incorporates comfort features that make it a favorite for the whole crew. After all, a long day of fishing often requires periods of relaxation.

The bow seating area is highly versatile, easily converting from a large casting platform to a plush lounge with removable backrests. At the helm, the captain and co-pilot benefit from adjustable seats with flip-up bolsters for maximum comfort, whether sitting or standing.

Crucially for family or mixed-gender crews on long trips, the console houses a well-appointed head compartment with a marine toilet. This feature significantly extends the practical duration of your time offshore. The overall luxury appointments, from premium upholstery to quality hardware, confirm that the Blackfin Center Console is designed for discerning boaters who want both ruggedness and refinement.

A Legacy of Durability – Blackfin’s Quality Construction

Blackfin’s reputation was built on creating some of the toughest boats ever made, and the 272 CC upholds that heritage using modern construction techniques. The use of Advanced Carbon Fiber Technology and a full composite stringer grid bonded to the hull ensures unparalleled structural integrity.

When you’re far offshore, reliability is priceless. The rigid construction, custom-designed hinges and latches, and high-quality fittings mean this boat can handle sustained rough water without the shakes and rattles that plague lesser-built vessels. This superior build quality also protects your investment, contributing to strong resale value should you ever choose to sell your boat or look into boat trade-in options down the line.

FAQs

What specific features make the 272 CC a superior choice for long-distance, offshore runs?

The Blackfin 272 CC is built as a “verified battlewagon” for offshore conditions, primarily due to its 22-degree deadrise deep-V hull design and advanced construction. This design allows the boat to cut through rough seas with maximum finesse and slice through the water, resulting in a significantly smoother, drier ride. This smooth transit, as noted, is key to saving fuel, reducing crew fatigue, and saving time on long runs (like the 60-mile trip to fishing grounds).

How does the 272 CC balance its “battlewagon” offshore fishing capability with family comfort and luxury?

Blackfin achieves this balance by incorporating yacht-grade amenities into a rugged fishing platform.

• Fishing
  It features a spacious cockpit and a fully equipped leaning post with a bait-prep station, sink, and tackle storage drawers.
• Family/Comfort
  Luxury is added through plush, custom upholstery, integrated seating like the flip-down transom bench seat, a Fusion Apollo stereo system with JL speakers, and a large center console housing a full-size head compartment with a patented Pantographic door.

What proprietary construction technology is used in the Blackfin 272 CC, and how does it contribute to the boat’s reputation for toughness?

The 272 CC utilizes Blackfin’s proprietary construction methods: Advanced Carbon Fiber Technology (ACT) in the hull laminate and the Core Rigid Technology (CRT) molded composite stringer and grid system. This combination provides the boat with superior structural integrity, rigidity, and “unrivaled” stability, ensuring it can handle the toughest seas without structural rattle or compromise.

What key live bait and tackle management features are built into the 272 CC for serious anglers?

For the serious angler, the boat is equipped with a premier fishing command center. Key features include:

• A transom-mounted baitwell featuring a clear, see-through face and Gemlux control valves for optimal bait health and monitoring.
• A sophisticated tackle rigging station integrated into the leaning post, complete with a cutting board, sink, two storage drawers, and four slide-out utility tackle boxes.
• Multiple stainless steel rod holders in the gunnels and on the hardtop.
