Kansas origins under Pack St. Clair
Pack St. Clair founded Cobalt in 1968 in Neodesha, in the southeastern corner of Kansas. The company made its name with tri-hulls in the 1970s and grew through the 1980s on the fit and finish of its small cruisers and runabouts; mid-size and larger sterndrive boats followed. It stayed independent for almost fifty years, and the Kansas Sampler Foundation lists it among the 8 Wonders of Kansas Commerce.
The Malibu Boats era
The July 2017 sale to Malibu Boats kept manufacturing in Neodesha, and Cobalt chief executive Paxson St. Clair joined the Malibu board. Since the acquisition the brand has pushed further into outboard power and surf boats. Cobalt continues as a separate brand within the Malibu group.

Cobalt's current boats run from about 23 to 35 feet.
