Offering day boaters an even larger combination of style, comfort and convenience, premium luxury manufacturer Cobalt Boats has announced the introduction of its all-new R35 Sterndrive luxury runabout.

With a 35' 4" LOA and 10' 10" beam, the R35 is an inviting space for boating with family and friends, boasting impressive performance and a long list of luxury features. The new top of the R-Series line was introduced last night at a special invitation-only event in Miami that was also streamed live on Facebook.

Powered by your choice of Mercruiser or Volvo twin engines, the R35's elegantly sleek lines continue Cobalt's trend toward contemporary design, with a deep cockpit and greater freeboard for a more spacious interior and larger bow and cockpit areas. Standard amenities include a Garmin glass cockpit with multiple touchscreen displays, ultra-fast USB-C charging stations, a wealth of storage space and cupholders, an integral swim step and a cabin that, along with sleeping, accommodates seating for use with a smart TV/music player/gaming console. Other premium options include a Harman Kardon premier marine audio system, a side-entry door, a Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilization system and Cobalt's patented Splash & Stow inflatables management system.

New luxurious options for the R35 are an Auto Deploy Galley, complete with sink, microwave and electric grill, which rises from a solid bench seat at the touch of a button; a Helm Watch display that offers passengers access to charts and cabin controls on a dedicated Garmin screen; a built-in combination deep freezer/fridge with an adjustable temperature range from 0 to 50 degrees; and a FLIR compact thermal camera that provides an added level of safety and situational awareness.

Show attendees will be given the opportunity to experience the stunning R35 Sterndrive in detail in the water at the Venetian Marina Slip ST300B. As an added bonus, a 'sneak preview' prototype of its soon-to-be-released companion, the R35 Outboard, can be seen at the Miami Convention Center on the show floor at Cobalt's booth, space MB530. More details can be found here.

As a convenience to Midwestern boaters, an R35 Sterndrive will also be displayed on February 15 at the Grand Rapids Boat Show in downtown Grand Rapids, MI, with details here.

"Designed to completely reimagine the day boating experience with its size, comfort and luxury, the new R35 Sterndrive is the epitome of R Series sophistication," said Jason Turner, Cobalt's President. "We're truly looking forward to unveiling this exciting new model to our dealers, their customers, the boating media and the rest of the world at the Miami International Boat Show."

Currently in production, the new R35 Sterndrive is available through Cobalt's World Class Dealer Network.
