Yacht Certified
The new Cobalt R33 is a boat built to make a statement. Combining classic R Series styling with a new generation of innovative features, the R33 Sterndrive is a yacht-certified luxury cruiser that delivers extraordinary performance, comfort and refinement at every turn, making it a prime choice for boat enthusiasts. From its industry-first Harman Kardon sound system to Cobalt’s signature deep-V hull and Kevlar-reinforced construction, this model offers the kind of on-water experience that discerning boaters dream about. Whether you’re cruising open water, entertaining at anchor or overnighting in the cabin, the Cobalt R33 rewards you with surprises everywhere you look.
Harman Kardon
integrated into the boat. Aesthetically colour-matched to your interior gel coat and acoustically tuned, the system is specifically designed for the R33’s cockpit and cabin geometry.
With options ranging from the standard six-speaker system up to the Harman Kardon Platinum package with transom and hard top speakers, the R33 delivers a premium sound experience with up to a staggering 4,000 watts of power. The result is an immersive, expertly tailored sound that fills the boat without distortion, whether you’re at cruising speed or anchored for the afternoon, ensuring every touch of the music is felt. Even the most discerning audiophiles will find a system that elevates every journey on the water.


Seakeeper
Introducing Seakeeper for Cobalt, the industry’s best-in-class gyroscope, eliminating 95% of boat roll. Internally, a flywheel spins at speeds of up to 9,750 revolutions per minute, producing a powerful gyroscopic torque that counteracts boat roll. After initial start-up, the flywheel will reach full operational speed within 15 minutes. Then your Seakeeper can be engaged and disengaged instantly. Gone are the days of seasick guests and spilled drinks. It’s a luxury you never knew you needed but will soon learn you can’t live without.
Side-entry door
Boarding has never been so effortless with Cobalt’s new side-entry door on the starboard side of the boat, enhancing sterndrive convenience and storage. The hull side door is brought to life and reinforced with an additional bulkhead. And the heavy-duty hardware ensures years of trouble-free use.

Inside, select from teak or Sea Grass floor coverings, Sof-Trac matting, custom wood interior trim packages, cockpit galley configurations and a choice of bow and cockpit table options. Outside, stainless steel accents appear throughout, from bow scuff plates and engine vents to windshield braces and the stainless steel ski tow. Add Cobalt’s hydraulic swim platform with flip-down step, underwater lighting, a teak swim platform and the innovative side-entry boarding door.
Canvas options include bow and cockpit tonneau covers, a mooring cover, bow and aft shade sails and a choice between an electrically folding arch with rotating sunshade or a fixed hard top with retractable awning, facilitating needs. Every custom choice is backed by Cobalt’s 10/5/3-year warranty protection and built to marine-grade standards that few boat manufacturers can match.
