Introduction to Cobalt R Series Boats
The Cobalt R Series represents the pinnacle of luxury bowriders, designed for families and boating enthusiasts who demand both comfort and performance. Ranging from the versatile R4 to the yacht-certified R35, these boats showcase the hallmarks of Cobalt: exceptional build quality, a legendary deep-V hull, and upscale finishes. Each model balances sophistication with power, offering a ride that is as smooth as it is thrilling. Whether cruising across Chickamauga Lake, enjoying time with family, or hosting guests, the R Series provides a boating experience unlike any other.
Cobalt R4: Compact Luxury with Big-Boat Feel
The entry-level model in the R Series, the Cobalt R4, offers a 24-foot platform that feels remarkably spacious. Built with Cobalt’s deep-V hull, the R4 delivers stability and a smooth ride, even when waters get choppy. Despite its size, it offers features often reserved for larger boats. Convertible aft seating transforms from a forward-facing bench to a rear-facing lounge or extended sun pad, giving passengers versatile options. Another signature element is the patented swim step, which folds down into the water for effortless entry and exit, making it a favorite among families. Inside, the R4 features marine-grade upholstery, cool-touch vinyl, and LED lighting that elevates the onboard experience. At the helm, dual Garmin displays provide navigation, engine diagnostics, and seamless digital integration. Power options include Volvo Penta and MerCruiser engines ranging from 300 to 430 horsepower, ensuring plenty of performance in a compact package.
Cobalt R6: The Ultimate Family Runabout
The Cobalt R6 builds on the R4’s features, expanding both size and capability. At nearly 26 feet, the R6 introduces wrap-around yacht-style seating that comfortably accommodates larger groups while maintaining a layout that feels open and functional. Storage is abundant, with finished compartments beneath nearly every seat. The helm features dual 10-inch Garmin glass cockpit displays, providing complete control over navigation, systems, and entertainment. Passengers benefit from enhanced ergonomics, including a head compartment fitted into the port console. Sound is delivered by JL Audio speakers powered through a Rockford Fosgate unit, ensuring music is as crisp underway as it is at anchor. The R6 comes in sterndrive, outboard, and surf configurations, with engine options up to 430 horsepower. Its refined ride quality, intuitive helm, and upscale design make it the ideal family bowrider for both inland and coastal waters.
Cobalt R8: Big-Water Confidence and Comfort
When more space and power are needed, the Cobalt R8 rises to the occasion. Stretching nearly 28 feet, this model offers expanded bow and cockpit seating along with enhanced freeboard for added comfort in rougher waters. Yacht-certified, the R8 can host larger gatherings without compromise. Storage has been maximized, and thoughtful touches like a transom shower and larger head compartment add convenience. Engine options include sterndrive and outboard configurations, with power reaching up to 430 horsepower or twin outboards for even more performance. The R8’s design caters to those who want longer day trips on bigger lakes and waterways, blending sporty handling with a refined onboard atmosphere. It embodies the spirit of the R Series by offering more of everything, seating, storage, fuel capacity, and horsepower, without losing the sleek lines and premium finish Cobalt is known for.
Cobalt R30: Day Yachting at Its Finest
The Cobalt R30 represents a step into day-yachting territory. With a length of just over 30 feet, this model combines expansive seating with luxury amenities. Designed for entertaining, the R30 features multiple social zones, including an oversized bow lounge, deep cockpit seating, and a transom swim platform equipped with Cobalt’s e-Step technology.
