ABOUT US
Our Story
To this day, Cobalt Boats anchor night after night in a tradition of rugged individualism, in the pride of people with extraordinary skills set among a small town’s uncompromising notion of what might be. We know these people, the neighbors who come every morning to build these boats. We know their grandparents and their grandkids, second and third generations of families crafting nearly five decades of Cobalts. These are rooted people, solid in a work ethic born on farms and ranches, people who understand the ways in which personal accountability serves collective achievement. People who grew up together with Cobalt’s founders in a small town with big ideas. People with a sense of place. And of time.


Over 55 Years of Luxury and Innovation
Cobalt Boats has always been at the forefront of innovation, introducing many industry-firsts throughout our company’s history. Innovations began in the 1970s with electric windshield, fiberglass stringers, and aircraft-style switches and circuit breakers at the instrument panel. The 1980s introduced the first extended running surface, now-iconic bow scuff plate with the Condurre Series, and flip-lip seat bolster. In the 1990s there was the electric folding swim platform (of the 272) and the bow scuff plate evolved as standard equipment on all models. In the 2000s the Flip-Down Swim Step became another Cobalt exclusive innovation that reinvented water-borne activities and was awarded a U.S. patent in 2013. March of 2024 saw the first Cobalt built in our second plant – a new facility located in Roane County, Tennessee.
Cobalt Still Refuses to Admit That Good is Good Enough.
We build boats on the premise that, in all our work in both Kansas and Tennessee, no one job is more important than another. As Cobalt has grown to a company of approximately 650 associates, we try very hard to perpetuate the genuine sense of family that has characterized our interactions with each other from the beginning. And so again tomorrow, we will do our part to nourish the implicit trust which underpins our relationships with Cobalt dealers, with Cobalt associates and, of course, with the remarkable people who own Cobalt boats. Cobalts come from a place where technology contributes in measurable ways to every component of a Cobalt’s construction, a place where, in ways beyond measure, individual effort and personal integrity have refined the boat-builder’s art for over 56 years of ever more sophisticated design.
