New, innovative and built to perform like no other bay boat you’ve ever seen, there’s never been a new model introduction quite like the incredible 206 Cayman.

The new Eagle BRX is a pure aluminium version of the 2016-novelty Eagle BR. The spacious area in the stern makes this your perfect companion for both fishing and leisurely rides. The easy-to-transform bow area is also a nice new touch.

Suited especially for the speed-enthusiastic boater who values durability, ease of use and versatility.

The new Eagle BRX in pure aluminum is the choice for you, who appreciate ease of use, durability, comfort and versatility.

It is all here. The Cobalt R7 embodies the same highly appointed upholstery, maximized cockpit breadth, seating versatility. This list goes on and on, but the R7 deserves even more gloat, for she is the ultimate bowrider. Hold on, let’s get this party started.

The bow area, spacious. Thanks to a term Cobalt has deemed “Free Space Reclamation”, this interior expansion is exactly what Cobalt’s build process creates. It is most noticeable in the cockpit, which is adorned with seating that wraps around the transom and the port side. The cockpit, expansive. The convertibility of the seating configuration, ingenious. The elongated port side seating gives the R7 room for the crew – and with the yacht-style seating, there are many ways to ship-shape the conversation. With the extended length also comes a phenomenal increase in storage area. Bring it on board, and there is a compartmentalized place to stow it away.

And the ride, it is a legendary one. So legendary that it placed Cobalt #1 in ride comfort. Opulent luxury combined with incredible value. The R7 hits the mark with the perfect combination of both. The truth is, Cobalt is the solution when it comes to big water day boating. The R7 reaffirms that truth.

This traditional-bow powerhouse is the only towboat in the crossover class with a center-pull ski pylon, and it’s three-event certified for tournament skiing.

Her profile immediately catches your eye. Her elegant lines and jaw dropping aesthetics can turn even the most discriminating heads. Her inverse hull, whose complexity only yacht makers have seen fit to attempt, creates the sweep of a profile that can come only from Cobalt craftsmanship. Special to the A-Series is the hydraulic swim platform which lowers 24" below the water’s surface. Perfect for dipping a toe in the cool water, or functioning as a step stool for those eager kiddos jumping aboard.

The A28 interior will wow, as a soft aura of luxury surrounds you and your guests. Buttery smooth vinyls, rich textures, stainless steel accents all marry together to create this one of a kind model. The bow is broader in the beam, roomy and then some, with immediately reconfigurable seating. More practicality here too, in the added head compartment and yet more storage.

In the quantum leaps in technology, among all its genuinely new features, the A28 shows forth hour upon skilled man-hour of refined Cobalt craftsmanship – in the upholstery, at the helm, in the rubbed perfection of the gelcoat – and the payoff comes in years of reliable, worry-free enjoyment.

Now that’s worth turning some heads.
