EXTERIOR

What really makes this luxury boat a standout ride on the water is its added size. Not just longer, the R8 features a higher profile and more freeboard—making it more spacious, elegant, and powerful by its shape, fit, and finish.

features and innovations

2025 Cobalt R8 PATENT PENDING E-STEP ELECTRICALLY POWERED SWIM STEP

Cobalt’s already easy-to-use Swim Step just got easier. With the push of a button, the step folds into the water or returns from the water into the stowed position—all from the convenience of the aft sun pad. Designed to be sleek, simple, and effortless, the e-Step deployment has a near-silent actuation, making it the quietest actuated step on the market.

2025 Cobalt R8 Arch With Rotating SunShade

No need to take down your sunshade with the Arch with Rotating Sunshade. Built on our aluminum folding arch, the canvas remains up when the arch is folded down to lower positions, and the sunshade has a rigid frame for tight canvas fit and articulates as the arch is folded down, remaining flat. Gas assist cylinder or full electric actuation options make it easily operable for one person.

2025 Cobalt R8 Cobalt + Garmin

The Cobalt Glass Cockpit System is the premier multi-display solution for total helm control. The Garmin interface is fully integrated with the most pivotal handling and safety information from your Cobalt powertrain. The result is the ultimate boating experience now available with larger screens on select Cobalt models.

2025 Cobalt R8 SOF-TRAC POSITIVE TRACTION MAT

Dress up your swim platform with the Sof-Trac Positive Traction Mat. Gentle on swimsuits and wakeboards, you’ll maintain traction even when wet. Dealer-installed kits are available for most current models with or without the Swim Step.

2025 Cobalt R8 Fresco Chil Vinyl

Finally, no more hot seats on darker colored vinyl while you’re out enjoying a full day of fun on the water. This anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, mildew-resistant, and sulfide stain-resistant fabric technology keeps your vinyl a full 15-20 degrees cooler than traditional vinyl even when it’s out in the sun.

2025 Cobalt R8 Fender Clip Package

The Cobalt stainless-steel fender clips are a quick mount system installed in the deck at the perfect fender position, so the lines are always set to optimum length. When docking, simply insert the pin into the fitting and you’re done.
