Mariner 28 Flybridge Just Listed

Mariner 28 Flybridge -- A Proven Australian Cruiser with Exceptional Volume & Capability
The Mariner 28 Flybridge stands as one of Australia's most enduring and respected compact cruisers -- a vessel celebrated for its generous interior volume, offshore-capable hull, and practical layout that suits both family cruising and serious fishing. This example presents clean, honest, and ready for immediate enjoyment, offering the perfect balance of comfort, capability, and value.
A Hull with a Reputation for Safety & Predictability
The Mariner 28's GRP hull is widely regarded as one of the most confidence-inspiring in its class. The deep cockpit, wide beam, and balanced weight distribution create a stable platform at rest and underway. The flybridge helm provides commanding visibility, while the internal helm station offers protection and comfort when the weather turns.
This is a boat that encourages exploration -- predictable, forgiving, and well-proven across decades of Australian boating.

A Surprisingly Spacious Interior
Step inside, and the first impression is space. The saloon is bright and open, with large windows and a layout that feels more like a 30-footer. The dinette comfortably seats four and converts to a generous double berth, while the forward cabin offers a private V-berth with ample storage.
The Mariner 28 is a genuine 4-berth cruiser, making it ideal for families, couples, or friends wanting to share weekends on the water.
