The Art of Ownership

Have you ever wished you could dip your toe in with a new boat before you fully commit? Cobli may be the answer.

Cobli is brought to you courtesy of two of the boating industry's most respected operators: John Cowpe and Peter Hrones. This pair bring more than 50 years operating in boat sales, support and importation. The best designs, the best manufacturers and a commitment to customer service has seen the creation and growth of some of Australia and New Zealand’s most successful marine operations, under their guidance.

Jointly, Hrones and Cowpe own eYachts and The Multihull Group, exclusively importing multiple brands of European dayboats, motor yachts and luxury catamarans.

After over a year of brainstorming, planning and development of a website, a functional app and bringing together a devoted team, Cobli was born in mid-2020. With the drastic uptake in boating amidst the current climate they decided there has never been a better time to get more people on the water. Cobli was created to remove barriers to entry and create a smart, affordable solution for everyone to consider. 

Full time owners don’t typically use their boats every week, and maintenance and berthing costs can often be prohibitive. It’s here that Cobli offers an opportunity for more to benefit through shared ownership. The opportunity to be an equity stakeholder is the chance to enjoy the best of boating on the latest models with ease, at a fraction of the cost. 

As the world marches on and the sharing economy becomes the go-to solution across multiple industries, the team behind Cobli felt the time was right to look at the best way to offer real equity ownership for the prestigious boat brands they import to Australia and New Zealand.

From the latest catamarans based between Sydney and the Whitsunday Islands, to high-end day boats for entertaining and enjoyment on Sydney Harbour and beyond, all vessels under Cobli are managed and maintained to the highest of standards. Vessels are brought in from new and exited in good time to maximise a high resale value, which simply means more equity is returned to the owners, who can then choose to continue on to the latest model or move to full ownership should they wish.

Cobli is currently offering models from Axopar boats, Pardo Yachts and Lagoon Catamarans. 

Cobli currently has limited equity available in the award winning Axopar 28 T-Top, which has just arrived in Sydney, and is taking prospects for offerings that will arrive later in 2021. 

AXOPAR 28

The ultimate adventure day boat — watersports, entertaining and offshore performance. Cobli offers an affordable way to access the best of boating in the brand new, next generation Axopar 28 T-Top. 

Based at the Spit on Sydney Harbour, this pleasure boat has great the capacity for fun and for entertaining. 

The Axopar 28 was the vessel that put Axopar on the map and garnered a solid industry reputation. This latest generation will not disappoint.

AXOPAR 37

The Axopar 37 has space, comfort and speed — all the ingredients that anyone needs to entertain on Sydney Harbour.

Experience the latest generation Axopar and see what the world is talking about. It's a fast-growing company in this part of the marine industry and the new 37 is the queen of the fleet. Offering a smooth ride, clever use of space aboard and the high performance driving on most water conditions, it's a great way to trial this type of pleasure craft and see if it is a style that will suit you in the long term.

LAGOON 42

Enjoy an equity holding in one of the world’s most popular catamarans, and break free from the daily grind with family and friends, enjoying both Sydney and the Whitsunday Islands.

The Lagoon 42 has hit a sweet spot across the globe. Fun and luxurious, with the volume of many 45ft catamarans, she is an incredible family cruiser, entertainer and passage maker. Based on Sydney's Pittwater during summer and relocated to the Whitsunday Islands for three months over winter, you have the ultimate opportunity to enjoy it as a part of your family lifestyle and a holiday destination.  

WHAT SETS COBLI APART?

ENTRY PRICE

As direct importers, Cobli has the ability to offer its boats at competitive buy-in prices.

SERVICE AND CARE

All vessels under Cobli are managed and maintained to the highest of standards. The team know their boats intimately — when to service them and how to look after them, ensuring best practice and delivering high resale.

LIMITED EQUITY SHARES

Cobli limits the number of owners depending on the product offering and the vessel. While the entry price needs to be kept low, the availability needs to be reasonable to ensure your pleasure out on the water.

THREE-YEAR LIFE CYCLE

A term of ownership with Cobli is not protracted. The beauty of equity ownership is the access to current models and the ability to move within the fleet to experience the very latest in design and technology. Within three years your boat will still be a recent and highly sought after model, therefore attracting a great resale which maximises the return of equity to you.
