Whittley Marine Group has introduced its latest innovation, the CR 3100 OB, at the 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.
This 31-foot trailerable sports cruiser is designed to offer the luxury of overnight accommodation combined with the practicality of trailerability, adhering to Australia's 2.5-metre maximum width regulations.

The CR 3100 OB features a queen-sized island bed with walk-around access, a fully enclosed bathroom, and a walk-through windscreen that enhances internal space and movement. The cockpit includes a self-draining deck, ample storage, and a sliding aft lounge that can be adjusted to create more space for fishing or entertaining. Bifold glass doors separate the cockpit from the saloon, allowing for an open or enclosed environment depending on weather conditions.

Powered by twin Honda BF250 V6 outboards, with options for a single Honda BF350 V8 or a fully electric Naut E 3100 configuration, the CR 3100 OB offers versatility in performance. The hull design ensures a comfortable cruising speed of approximately 29 knots, with a top speed approaching 46 knots, depending on configuration and conditions.

Managing Director Neville Whittley emphasized that the CR 3100 OB is tailored for Australian families, combining genuine overnight luxury with the freedom of the trailer boat lifestyle. The model is available for public viewing at the Whittley Boating Centre Gold Coast stand during the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, with pricing starting from approximately $462,000, including the trailer.
