The new A25 from Cobalt is a classy bowrider with plenty of power under the bonnet. The almost eight metre long boat leaves nothing to be desired.

At this length, the Cobalt offers a huge cockpit with modern furniture. Additional seating and sunbathing options can be found in the open bow. To ensure that the travelling party has plenty of fun on board, the Shipyard The A25 is equipped with long, voluminous stowage compartments for storing wakeboards, water skis or tubes. To get back into the boat after waterskiing or a refreshing swim, Cobalt has installed a modern folding ladder with a footbridge in the centre and rubber-covered steps.

The instrument panel is kept dark and is only slightly reflected in the windscreen. On the instruments, the reflections are more pronounced and have a moderate effect on visibility. The switches are particularly striking due to their design: push-buttons with a lamp ring (control) and English labelling. They can be operated without restriction in front of the steering wheel.

To ensure that the driver always remains relaxed, the shipyard has installed a wide sports seat with firm cushions that can be swivelled and pushed forwards and backwards. A stainless steel support with rubber studs ensures a firm footing. A stainless steel handle with a soft cover provides a good grip on the passenger side (with convertible seat/recliner combination).
