2026 Avalon Venture 85 Center Console Fish - 23 FT

Meet the ** 2026 Avalon Venture 85 Center Console Fish**, a new **23-foot** good-time machine that’s ready to turn ordinary weekends into “how is it already Sunday night?” stories. Dressed in ****, it brings a bold, head-turning look to the dock—clean, modern, and confident—like it knows it’s about to be the most popular stop on the water.
This **Venture 85** is built on an **aluminum** platform with **three pontoons**, giving you that steady, reassuring feel whether you’re easing out of the marina or setting up for a long, relaxed day drifting and casting. At about **24.5 feet** long with a **101-inch beam**, it’s sized to feel roomy without feeling unwieldy—big enough for the whole crew, easy enough to enjoy without a learning curve. With capacity for **12 passengers** and a **2,560-lb weight limit**, it’s the kind of boat that makes it simple to say “yes” when friends want to join, and still leaves you space to stretch out and settle in.
Step aboard and you’ll notice it’s designed for real-life boating: lounging, cruising, and fishing—sometimes all in the same hour. The cockpit is finished with **woven flooring** that looks sharp while keeping things comfortable underfoot. There’s a **cockpit table** when it’s time to bring out snacks, lunch, or the victory chips after someone finally lands the one that got away. Seating is set up for flexibility and conversation, with **five cockpit chairs** and **two cockpit sofas**, plus **three open bow seats** up front for those who prefer the “wind in your face” view.
When it’s time to focus on fishing, this model doesn’t make you choose between comfort and function. You’ve got **four fishing pedestal chairs**, so everyone can get in on the action without playing musical seats. And because the fun doesn’t stop when the boat’s underway, the helm is a great place to run the day confidently: a **center console** setup with a **helm chair** and **remote outboard steering control**, plus a **steering assist system** that helps keep handling smooth and easy.
The vibe stays upbeat, too. A **Fusion®** audio system with **Bluetooth®** means your playlist is always on tap—cruise beats, chill acoustic, or full-on hype, depending on the moment. Up top, the **Bimini top** is there when you want a break from the sun, and the **walk-through windshield** makes moving around feel natural and protected when the breeze picks up.
Navigation and day-planning are handled with **Garmin® GPS**, which is perfect for finding your route, keeping your bearings, and spending more time enjoying the water and less time second-guessing where you are. And for those longer runs (or those “let’s just see what’s around that next point” impulses), the **38-gallon fuel capacity** gives you room for adventure, with a **fuel gauge** keeping tabs on your day.
Power-wise, the Venture 85 is ready to match your style: it supports a wide range of outboard horsepower—from a **minimum recommended 10 hp** up to a **maximum recommended 250 hp**—so you can build it for laid-back cruising, energetic tow-and-go weekends, or something in between.
In ****, this Avalon isn’t just a boat you own—it’s a boat you’ll make plans around. Bring the crew, pick the soundtrack, set the route on the GPS, and let the Venture 85 turn the water into your favorite place to be.
