As a premier dealership of Cobalt Boats at Taylor’s Boats, we’re thrilled to showcase the newly released Cobalt R31. This innovative model redefines luxury, style, and performance for family-friendly boating, making it an ideal choice for memorable weekends on the water. Here's everything you need to know about this exciting addition to the Cobalt lineup and why it’s already making waves among boating enthusiasts.

Exterior: Built for Smooth Handling and Style

The Cobalt R31 Sterndrive embodies a balance of size, performance, and luxury, providing an exceptional family experience. Crafted with sleek lines, a deep cockpit, and increased freeboard, the R31 delivers ample space and a more secure ride, ideal for families who love spending extended weekends on the water. The hydraulic swim platform with Cobalt’s patented Swim Step enhances water access, transforming the rear of the boat into a multi-level home base for watersports and swimming.

Interior: Spacious and Sophisticated

Inside, the R31 combines comfort and functionality with luxury features. The expanded cockpit and bow areas offer a spacious setting for families to relax. Key amenities include a prep galley with a walnut charcuterie board, tilting storage, and an optional refrigerator drawer—ideal for easy snack preparation.

With additional room at the helm, the wide helm seat provides a comfortable and spacious area for the captain, complete with an adjustable bolster. The R31 also boasts programmable RGB LED lighting controlled by the Garmin touchscreen, enabling a customizable lighting experience that enhances evening outings.

Advanced Technology for an Unmatched Boating Experience

The R31 integrates cutting-edge Garmin technology to provide an advanced navigation experience. With a high-resolution, full-HD glass cockpit, captains enjoy seamless access to Garmin’s Navionics+™ mapping system, offering coastal and inland coverage. This intuitive interface ensures easy navigation in both fresh and saltwater settings, building confidence at the helm.

In addition to navigation, the Helm Watch feature allows guests to access charts and cabin controls from a secondary command center, keeping everyone involved in the journey and allowing easy access to onboard controls and entertainment options.

Unbeatable Audio with Harman Kardon

Thanks to a collaboration with Harman Kardon, the R31 delivers a premium sound experience, bringing clear, rich audio to every seat. Equipped with marine-rugged components, this audio system withstands the harshest marine conditions without compromising sound quality, ensuring that every moment on the water is accompanied by incredible sound.

Performance and Comfort Features: Keeping Everyone Comfortable

Designed with comfort in mind, the R31 introduces Fresco Chil Vinyl, a specially engineered fabric that remains 15-20 degrees cooler than standard vinyl, even on hot, sunny days. With antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, this innovative material provides a cooler, cleaner, and more comfortable seating experience.

The Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilizer is another standout feature, virtually eliminating boat roll to ensure a steady and enjoyable ride. For those who may experience seasickness, the Seakeeper’s stabilization makes the R31 an ideal choice for extended family outings, keeping the ride smooth even in choppy conditions.

Exterior Innovation: Splash & Stow™

Cobalt’s award-winning Splash & Stow™ system simplifies the deployment and retrieval of inflatables, making it easy to bring along a Splash & Stow™ Inflatable Round Island or Inflatable Long Rectangle Mat. This system makes setup a breeze with a quick-touch button that inflates and connects for hours of fun on the water.
