2024 Freeman 28

What makes this 28 stand out is how “big boat” it feels for its size. The wide cat hull gives you an ultra-stable platform at rest, so the crew can move around fighting fish or rigging baits without that tippy feeling. The high freeboard and deep cockpit add a sense of security offshore, while still keeping the deck layout open and easy to work. At the helm, sightlines are excellent—no hunching over or craning to see the bow—and there’s plenty of room to move behind the leaning post even with a full crew. Storage is thoughtfully spread out, so you’re not constantly lifting cushions to find gear.

This 28-foot Freeman shines in areas where you might run from shallow bays or channels straight out into open, choppy water. The twin-hull design softens tight wind chop and stacked boat wakes, letting you run faster and drier when conditions get snotty. At the same time, the relatively shallow draft lets you nose into sandbars, nearshore reefs, and inlets others avoid. It’s an ideal size for trailering to different ramps and fishing grounds, yet still offers the range and comfort for long runs to distant structure, offshore ledges, or island hop spots in your area.
