Owner Experience Review

Owners and charter operators use the 28 STbyRIBCOas a flexible day platform: family day cruising and weekend leisure are common, and charter fleets often list it for up to 8–9 passengers. It also appears frequently as a superyacht tender or chase boat, and its high‑performance day‑boat brief suits quick coastal hops between beaches and bays.

On the water, reports credit the two‑stepped hull with a notably soft, dry ride in chop. The steps promote earlier lift and efficient planing versus a single‑step design, while the center‑console helm is described as offering a "sportscar like experience on the water" that still feels "surprisingly docile" at speed.

The deck plan is focused on day use, with large bow and stern sunlounges, a spacious self‑draining cockpit, and a substantial aft locker for boards and toys; center‑console ergonomics are comfortable for a 28‑foot RIB. Most examples are fitted with Mercury Verado outboards in the 300–350 hp range, so routine outboard service intervals and costs apply; access is straightforward thanks to the outboard layout, and technical materials also note a sterndrive diesel option. Long‑term owner logs in English are sparse—most public feedback comes from expert sea trials, broker listings, and charter notes (including a recent renter’s "very good day" comment)—so expectations should be set using these sources rather than years of aggregated owner reports.

Pros and Cons

• Two‑stepped hull delivers a soft, dry ride, earlier lift, and better planing efficiency versus a single‑step design.
• Center‑console helm offers a sportscar‑like driving feel yet remains surprisingly docile at speed.
• Day‑boat layout with large sunlounges, a self‑draining cockpit, and a substantial aft locker suits family cruising and water toys.
• Long‑term owner feedback in English is limited, with most insights coming from reviews, brokers, and charter operators.
• Routine outboard service intervals and costs apply for the commonly fitted Mercury Verado engines.
• Some performance impressions are drawn from range‑wide sea‑trial commentary rather than extensive owner logs specific to the 28 ST.
