New 2026 27' Cobalt R8

Step into the next generation of luxury boating with this 2026 Cobalt R8, powered by the impressive Volvo V8 430hp engine. Known for its refined performance, quiet power delivery, and unmatched reliability, this R8 is built to elevate every moment on the water—whether you’re cruising, entertaining, or chasing summer sunsets.

Finished in a striking Graphite Gray exterior with premium satin-black Cobalt badging, this R8 stands out with a modern, sophisticated look that turns heads on every shoreline. The aluminum folding arch with bimini adds sleek style and convenience, while stainless steel docking lights and elegant transom lighting enhance both presence and safety.

Inside, the craftsmanship is unmistakably Cobalt. The wood interior accent package, sea grass flooring, and RGB LED interior lighting create a warm, inviting atmosphere day or night. The cockpit and bow tonneau covers offer protection when not in use, and the cockpit entry step makes boarding effortless.

At the helm, the dual Garmin 8610 glass cockpit provides a cutting-edge command center with crystal-clear displays and intuitive controls. Keep your devices powered with the wireless phone charger, and enjoy rich audio from the Premium Sound system with transom speakers—perfect for boat days at anchor or a quiet cruise at dusk.

Comfort and convenience are elevated with features like the electric porcelain head, solid teak dinette table, and a full all-chain windlass anchor system. The trim tabs with indicators ensure smooth running and handling in varying conditions.

This R8 is a true blend of power, luxury, and versatility—purpose-built to deliver unforgettable on-water experiences with family and friends.

Bold performance. Refined styling. Pure Cobalt craftsmanship.
