In the vast expanse of the Australian boating market, Cobia Boats Australia shines brilliantly, carving a niche with its innovative US built Sports Boats with a range of Centre Console Models 22ft – 35ft and Dual Console Models 22ft – 33ft, renowned for their excellence in design and peak performance. Offering an unparalleled value for money, premium quality, safe and dry boating experience with innovative designs that cater for fishing enthusiasts and family groups alike, Cobia’s unique functionality sets it apart from its competitors.
The recent 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show was a testament to the growing popularity and success of Cobia Boats in Australia. Amidst the showcase of high-tech vessels and gleaming hulls, three Cobia models — the 240 CC, 262 CC, and 280 CC — commanded attention, their distinctive designs and innovative features generating a buzz of excitement among the attendees.
Each boat, powered by the latest generation of Yamaha Outboards featuring the Helmmaster EX Engine Controls, offered show-goers an insight to the versatility of the brand. The 240 CC and 262 CC, renowned for their value offering, fuel efficiency, exceptional comfort levels and robust construction, offered a versatile balance that is hard to find elsewhere. These models are designed to provide an uncluttered and intuitive helm, expanse of space, wealth of safety features, and a simple cross over from fishing-focused amenities to comfortable family cruising and watersports, making them the ideal choice for those seeking a seamless blend of style and functionality.
The star of the show, however, was the Cobia 280 CC. This vessel embodies Cobia’s commitment to quality, design, and performance. It offers a host of features designed to ensure optimal function and convenience for the user. For the angler these include two insulated fish boxes with macerated overboard drains, a huge livewell, a tackle station integrated into the helm seat and true self draining decks. And for family, plush seating with an integrated adjustable height electric bow platform offering a seat level casting deck or sun lounge that extends up to become a bow table, that also has the ability to sink flush into the floor when not in use. The Cobia 280 CC, powered by twin Yamaha outboards, boasts a top speed of over 40 knots. The patented Cobia front entry full standing height head, boasting a vacuflush toilet with full amenities, and freshwater shower in the head and another at the transom, add another layer of comfort and convenience to this range.
Cobia Boats are the best-selling Centre Console in the USA and the 2023 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show marked a milestone in the journey of Cobia Boats in Australia, further cementing the brand’s reputation in the local market.
Cobia Boats’ unwavering commitment to value and quality, coupled with innovative designs and performance-driven features, truly sets their market offering apart.
