2018 2018 Cutwater 28

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 28 tucks big-boat thinking into a compact footprint. The raised dinette with panoramic windows keeps everyone in the conversation, whether you’re trolling or tucked into a quiet anchorage. The forward cabin feels surprisingly private, with a real door and generous storage for cruise bags and spare gear. The cockpit’s modular seating lets you shift from fishing setup to sunset cocktails in minutes, and the galley’s full-featured layout makes overnighting feel easy rather than like “camping on a boat.” Wide side decks with solid rails, along with a secure, sheltered helm, give this 28 the feel of a much larger cruiser when seas pick up.

This 28-footer is built for waters where conditions can shift from flat calm to steep chop in a single outing. Its semi-planing hull and diesel power deliver an efficient, comfortable ride on longer runs between harbors, while still being nimble enough to nose into tight coves and shallow bays. The fully enclosed cabin with real heat and ventilation extends your season well beyond fair‑weather weekends, and the protected cockpit works just as well for rainy‑day fishing as it does for summer crabbing with the family. Add the included trailer and you’re not tied to one marina—you can launch where the bite is hot or where the forecast looks best.
