2016 Cobalt 302

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 302 feels more like a pocket yacht than a typical day boat. The deep, secure cockpit and high bow freeboard give everyone a reassuring ride when the afternoon chop kicks up. Wide, cushioned lounges invite you to stretch out, while the convertible aft sunpad flips quickly from seating to a full-on tanning platform. At the transom, the oversized swim platform and walk-through make it easy to gear up for a swim or watersports without trampling cushions. Under the seats, you’ll find cavernous storage for lines, fenders, and all the weekend clutter that usually ends up underfoot. Stainless hardware, solid doors, and tight-fitting hatches remind you this is a Cobalt built to a higher standard.

This 302 shines in local waters where conditions can change from calm morning glass to breezy afternoon rollers. The generous 30-foot length and substantial beam deliver a confident ride across open stretches, yet it’s still nimble enough to tuck into quiet coves and narrow creeks. The enclosed head and spacious cockpit keep family and guests comfortable during full days on the water, whether you’re running to a waterside restaurant or lingering at anchor. With its sturdy hull design and ample seating, it handles busy weekends and boat wakes with ease, making it an ideal platform for entertaining, cruising, and spontaneous sunset runs close to home.
