Offshore Performance Meets Everyday Versatility
The 2020 Blackfin 242 CC is built for boaters who want serious offshore capability without stepping into a boat that feels oversized for everyday use. At 24 feet, this center console packs an impressive amount of fishing functionality, performance, and comfort into a manageable package.
Now available through Panacea Yacht Group and located in Pine Beach, New Jersey, this Blackfin 242 CC is ready for everything from offshore fishing trips and inshore adventures to cruising the Jersey Shore with family and friends.
Blackfin designed the 242 CC around a deep-V hull with a 22-degree deadrise, giving the boat the offshore ride characteristics needed to confidently handle changing conditions. With an 8’10” beam and 140-gallon fuel capacity, it offers a substantial platform without sacrificing the versatility that makes a 24-foot center console so appealing.
Built for Offshore Performance
The 242 CC’s hull is at the heart of its offshore capability. The 22-degree deep-V provides a smooth, dry ride while maintaining stability when conditions get rough.
Powered by twin outboards with a combined 400 horsepower, the Blackfin has the power and responsiveness needed to get you where you’re going efficiently. The twin-engine configuration also provides the redundancy and maneuverability that many offshore boaters prioritize.
With a 140-gallon fuel tank, the 242 CC is designed to spend more time on the water and less time at the fuel dock.
Whether you’re heading offshore for a full day of fishing or making a quick run down the coast, the Blackfin 242 CC delivers the kind of confident ride expected from a serious offshore center console.
Designed with Anglers in Mind
The Blackfin 242 CC isn’t just capable offshore—it was purpose-built for fishing.
The cockpit provides ample room for multiple anglers to move around, while the boat’s fishing-focused layout keeps essential equipment close at hand. A large insulated transom baitwell, in-floor fish boxes with pump-out capability, rod storage, and washdown systems make it easy to transition from running to fishing once you reach your destination.
Fishing highlights include:
- Insulated transom baitwell with cutting-board lid
- In-floor macerated fish boxes
- Raw-water washdown
- Gunwale and hardtop-mounted rod holders
- Rocket launcher rod storage
- Generous cockpit space
- Integrated tackle and storage areas
- Helm designed for easy access to navigation and electronics
Whether you’re targeting striped bass close to home or heading farther offshore in search of tuna and other pelagics, the 242 CC provides the functionality to make the most of every trip.
A Helm Built for the Elements
The 242 CC’s helm is designed with both visibility and protection in mind.
The center-console layout provides excellent sightlines in every direction, while the protective windshield and hardtop help keep the captain and passengers comfortable when conditions change.
The helm is also designed to accommodate a comprehensive electronics package, giving the captain access to navigation, fish-finding, communication, and other critical systems without compromising the boat’s clean and functional layout.
For Northeast boaters, that combination of protection and open-air visibility is particularly valuable. Whether you’re running early in the season or spending a hot summer afternoon offshore, the 242 CC is designed to keep you comfortable.
More Than Just a Fishing Boat
While fishing is clearly part of the Blackfin’s DNA, the 242 CC is equally well suited for recreational boating.
The generous bow provides additional seating and lounging space, making it easy to transition from fishing mode to family mode. Head to the sandbar, take the kids swimming, cruise the Intracoastal, or spend an afternoon exploring the Jersey Shore—the 242 CC can handle it all.
At 24’6″ overall with an 8’10” beam, the boat hits a sweet spot for owners who want enough size and capability for offshore adventures without moving into the cost and complexity of a much larger center console.
The Perfect Jersey Shore Center Console
For Northeast boaters, versatility is everything. One day might mean an early-morning offshore fishing trip, while the next calls for a relaxed family cruise or an afternoon at the sandbar.
The Blackfin 242 CC was built for exactly that kind of lifestyle.
Its deep-V hull, substantial fuel capacity, twin-engine configuration, fishing amenities, and comfortable open layout make it particularly well suited to the waters off the New Jersey coast. And at 24 feet, it remains easy to manage compared with many of today’s larger offshore center consoles.
Located in Pine Beach, New Jersey, this Blackfin is ideally situated for local buyers looking to get on the water and start enjoying the Jersey Shore.
Why the Blackfin 242 CC Stands Out
The 242 CC offers an appealing combination of size, performance, and functionality. It has the offshore hull and fishing equipment serious anglers are looking for, while retaining the open layout and versatility that make center consoles so popular with families.
For buyers searching for a Blackfin 242 CC for sale in New Jersey, this 2020 model deserves a close look.
It’s a boat that can handle the serious stuff when conditions demand it, but is equally enjoyable when the goal is simply to spend a summer day on the water.
Ready for Its Next Adventure
If you’re looking for a capable 24-foot center console for fishing, cruising, and family boating, the 2020 Blackfin 242 CC offers a compelling combination of performance and versatility.
