Owner Experience Review
Owners who fish offshore often call the 28 FlybridgefromBertram Yachtone of the best fishing platforms they’ve used. The deep‑V hull is widely regarded as seaworthy and “handles like a much larger boat” in chop and swell, though a few owners note some snap/rocking tendencies in certain sea states. Many boats are also used for weekend leisure and short island runs, reflecting a balance between angling focus and family-friendly utility.
Below, the cabin layout is repeatedly praised as practical: berths for four via a convertible dinette, a small but efficient galley, and an enclosed head with shower. Owners describe it as surprisingly roomy for 28 feet and suitable for family cruising and overnighting. The flybridge adds a second helm and social space, enhancing visibility and the boat’s day‑boating versatility.
On the water, owners report typical cruising around 20–24 knots depending on era and engines. The boat is heavy for its size (about 12,000 lb fully loaded), and owners correlate that weight with higher fuel burn. In maintenance discussions, fiberglass fuel tanks are a recurring concern with ethanol‑blend gasoline, and unrestored examples often show age‑related rot in stringers and the transom. Repowers and engine swaps are common, aided by engine‑room access that many describe as good/excellent. Many buyers approach the 28 Flybridgeas a capable “project boat,” planning inspections, tank work, and mechanical upgrades; as with any classic, details vary by vintage and power.
