Cobalt R33 Boats For Sale

The Cobalt R33 is a 33-foot bowrider built for owners who want day-boating comfort with serious power, and it carries several firsts for the brand. The hull runs a 10-foot-6 beam and comes in multiple configurations: an outboard version with triple engines, and an R33 Surf forward-drive model measuring 33 feet 4 inches that Cobalt positions as a yacht-certified "mini yacht." Whether set up for cruising, entertaining or surfing, the boat is built around large social spaces, deep storage and a fit and finish that holds up across the deck.

Performance depends on the drive package. The outboard R33 is the first Cobalt to run triple outboards, offered with triple Yamaha 300s for 900 horsepower that push the boat into the mid-to-low 60s, and it is also rigged with triple Mercury Verados. The Surf version uses twin Volvo Penta 380 V8s in a forward-drive layout that generates a clean wake with no ballast tanks, since the hull displaces enough water on its own. Handling aids include a joystick that spins the boat on its axis for docking, Auto Glide automatic trim tabs to keep the ride level, and an available Seakeeper 2 gyro stabilizer to reduce roll.

At the helm, the R33 runs dual Garmin glass displays, including 12-inch screens on the Surf, with fully customizable pages and a one-touch return to Cobalt factory presets. The outboard models use Mercury's ERC Premier digital throttle and shift control with active trim, single-lever operation and a throttle-only mode. The helm seat is extra wide with an adjustable bolster and electric fore-aft slide, the port passenger seat swivels 135 degrees, and the dash includes a wireless phone charger, backlit sealed switches and adjustable tilt steering. An optional footrest is available for the driver.

Sound is a defining feature: the Premier package brings a Harman Kardon system custom-tuned for the R33, with an amplifier, a 12-inch subwoofer, distinctive tower speakers fitted with protective covers for saltwater use, and stereo remotes in the bow and aft deck. Topside, the boat offers an electric folding tower that lowers while keeping the sunshade level to the horizon, a carbon-fiber-infused hardtop with powered anchor light, and a powered awning. A starboard hull-side door with deep freeboard adds dock and water access alongside the teak swim platform, which can be upgraded to a full hydraulic platform that lowers into the water.

Inside, the cabin is air conditioned by a 12-volt system, with a drop-down filler cushion that converts the seating into a berth, a 22-inch smart TV and deep cabinet storage. The head holds 25 gallons of fresh water and offers a choice of pump-out porta-potty or vacuum-flush toilet, with AC extended into the head. Interior colors include slate and frost-and-slate using Fresco Chill vinyl that runs about 15 degrees cooler in the sun, and flooring choices span SeaDek, seagrass-style lining, non-skid and teak.

Buyers weighing an R33 should match the build to their use. The standard cockpit can be swapped for a galley with a sink, refrigerator and trash bin, and options run from a 12-volt powered grill and shore power with battery charger to a molded stowage spot for Yamaha Sea Scooters. The Surf model adds a roll-out inflatable splash mat with an electric winch and reaches 20 to 30 feet off the stern. Storage is extensive throughout, with removable bins in the floor and deep tubs under the outboard engine hatch. Cobalt R33 boats for sale span the triple-outboard and Surf forward-drive builds, so confirm engine package, top platform and the sound, stabilizer and helm options before buying.
