Why Choose the 28ft Sportfisher?

1
Small Groups

An excellent size for couples, families and groups of four or five.

2
Budget-Conscious Anglers

Pay for a private fishing boat without paying for cabins and yacht space you may not use.

3
Inshore Fishing

The smaller platform is very practical for coastal roosterfish, snapper and live-bait fishing.

4
Flexible Fishing Days

Choose inshore or offshore depending on your target species, weather and fishing conditions.

Small Boat, Real Fishing

You Don’t Need a 50-Foot Yacht to Catch Fish

The 28-footer is particularly attractive for anglers who are more interested in fishing than luxury amenities.

It has the electronics, trolling equipment, shade and private bathroom needed for a practical fishing day while keeping the charter cost significantly below the larger Los Sueños yachts.

For groups primarily interested in roosterfish, snapper or other inshore species, this smaller boat can be an especially sensible choice. For long offshore days, larger A/C boats offer more comfort, so tell us your priorities and we can help you compare.
