2017 2017 C-28

Step aboard and you immediately feel how smartly the space is used on this C-28. The cockpit transforms in seconds, with fold-out seating and a reversible transom lounge that lets you follow the action at the swim step or face into the conversation. Wide, secure side decks and stout stainless rails make moving forward feel confident, even in a chop. Inside, the convertible dinette and clever mid-berth give you honest sleeping room for family or guests without feeling cramped. Large opening windows and hatches flood the salon with light and fresh air, while thoughtful touches—like dedicated storage for fenders and lines, a proper galley layout, and integrated rod holders—remind you this is a cruiser designed by people who actually go boating.

This C-28 is particularly well suited to local waters where distances between anchorages and marinas can be modest but conditions change quickly. The efficient diesel inboard and semi-planing hull balance fuel economy with the ability to run comfortably at higher cruising speeds when the forecast tightens up. With its protected helm, sturdy hardtop, and generous glass, you maintain visibility and comfort in cool, wet shoulder seasons, yet the opening windows and cockpit layout shine on those calm summer evenings. Shoal-friendly draft and precise low-speed handling make slipping into tight coves, busy harbors, and shallow moorage straightforward, so you can confidently explore both busy waterways and quieter, tucked-away spots.
