Explore Our Top Family Boats
Cobalt R31 (Sterndrive)
Why it’s great for families: This is often described as a “just-right” family day boat.
Specs: 9.58 m length, 3.00m beam
Features:
- Has a head (bathroom), which is great for longer family outings.
- The hydraulic swim platform lowers into the water, making it easy for kids to get in and out with their water toys.
- Spacious cockpit and bow offering plenty of room for a family.
Considerations: At this size, it’s not the easiest to trailer (depends on your setup) and fuel use will be higher.
Cobalt A29 (Sterndrive, A Series)
Why it’s family-friendly:
This is a more luxurious “yacht-like” runabout.
Specs: 8.84 m length, 2.74 m beam.
Features:
- Hydraulic swim platform (lowers well into the water) for easy water access.
- Port-side walk-through to the bow, which makes moving forward easier and safer.
- Stylish finishes, real wood accents and leather make the ride more comfortable for family trips.
- Splash & Stow® system (on newer models) helps with storing inflatables or toys.
Considerations: Premium luxury = higher cost. Not as sporty/aggressive as the smaller R-series for tight water sports.
Cobalt R8 (Sterndrive, R Series)
Why it’s good for families: Bigger cockpit and bow than the smaller R models. According to Cobalt Australia, it’s designed with “room for more of everything”, more passenger space and more storage for family watersport adventures.
Features:
- Electric (or optional) E-Step swim platform (on newer models) for safer, easier water entry.
- Plenty of seating, good for family cruising and the occasional inflatable tubes, tow and water sports.
Considerations: Larger size = more fuel, more maintenance, potentially more expensive to dock.
Cobalt R35 (Sterndrive, R Series)
Why it’s family-friendly: It’s Cobalt’s large true bowrider, designed for big family days on the water.
Features:
- Grand cockpit with convertible yacht seating.
- Has a head compartment that can be used as a changing room, very useful for families.
- Entertaining-friendly layout, with easy access to the swim step and seating.
Considerations: Large size, so it needs more power and fuel. Docking or storage costs may be higher.
