Features & Innovations

Performance Feature

Monsoon Engines

Thanks to a close partnership with GM Marine and following the strictest industry standards, Monsoon engines are produced in a state-of-the-art engine facility in Tennessee. Technology is the key behind our new ultra-clean engines. It all starts with direct injection, which bypasses the air intake manifold and injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber, making for a cleaner, more controlled and complete burn resulting in improved fuel economy.

Interior Innovation

Fresco Chil Vinyl

Finally, no more hot seats on darker colored vinyl while you’re out enjoying a full day of fun on the water. This anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, mildew-resistant, and sulfide stain-resistant fabric technology keeps your vinyl a full 15-20 degrees cooler than traditional vinyl even when it’s out in the sun.

Harman Kardon Audio System

Cobalt has partnered with Harman Kardon to bring their signature sound to the water. Guests can comfortably sit next to any speaker on the boat, guaranteeing a pleasant experience from every seat.. Includes marine ruggedized components and speakers that are classic yet timeless and can handle the harshest conditions–creating a top-tier audio system like none other in the marine industry.
