Description
2015 Crownline 285 SS | Big‑Block Inboard 380 HP
Discover refined performance and family-friendly luxury aboard this 2015 Crownline 285 SS, powered by a MerCruiser 8.2 L big‑block V8 (380 HP) paired with a Bravo III duo‑prop sterndrive—a proven setup available for this model year. With just 257 engine hours and a lifetime in freshwater, this well-cared-for example was originally bought new by the current owners.

- Certified for yacht capacity and loaded with creature comforts like head, full lighting, stereo upgrades, and integrated safety systems

Born and raised on the New Jersey Shore, Bob Baliatico’s connection to the water began early—dunking sandworms for winter flounder aboard his 17-foot skiff and working summer breaks as a party boat mate chasing bluefish and stripers. That saltwater start evolved into a career when he became Advertising Manager and Fishing Report Editor for The Fisherman magazine, where he gained offshore experience chasing pelagics like yellowfin and bigeye tuna in the Hudson Canyon.
Bob’s passion for sportfishing boats runs deep, but his appreciation spans all types of vessels—from center consoles and motoryachts to long-range trawlers ideal for Bahamas cruising or tackling the Great Loop.
Professionally, Bob brings over two decades of executive-level experience in luxury sales, operations, and compliance. As Compliance Manager for Emptylegs LLC, he oversaw private jet charter operations, FAA regulatory adherence, and led a full digital platform transition to improve client engagement. Prior to that, he held leadership roles with Braman Motors and Prestige Audi, where he consistently drove multimillion-dollar growth and delivered world-class service—skills that translate seamlessly to the yacht brokerage world.
Now, as a Yacht Sales Advisor with Engel & Völkers, Bob combines his deep boating knowledge with a refined, client-focused approach. Whether you're selling your current vessel or seeking your next dream yacht, his insight, integrity, and enthusiasm will guide you every step of the way.
