2024 De Antonio Yachts D28 Open

On deck, the D28 Open feels bigger than her length, with deep, secure walkways that let you move from bow lounge to aft cockpit without climbing or ducking. The hidden outboard installation keeps the transom clean and quiet, opening up a full-beam sunpad and social area right over the engines. At the helm, the wide, ergonomic seat and clear sightlines make fast cruising relaxed instead of tiring. Storage is smartly tucked under seats and in the bow, so gear and water toys stay out of the way. Below, the cabin offers a surprisingly private retreat for changing, napping, or escaping the midday heat.

This D28 Open is particularly well suited to local waters where you’ll mix quick hops between sandbars with longer coastal runs. The concealed twin outboards are ideal in shallow areas, keeping draft low while still delivering confident acceleration through short chop. Wide hull shoulders and a flared bow help keep spray down when afternoon breezes pick up, so guests stay dry on the forward loungers. The open, modular cockpit easily shifts from a family swim platform to a sunset entertaining space with its generous sunpads and wraparound seating. Compact enough for tighter slips yet capable offshore, it’s a versatile dayboat for this region’s varied cruising grounds.
