Research 2022 - Blue Wave Boats - 2800 Makaira

~The do-it-all 28-footer you've heard about!

This is Makaira, the offshore Hybrid by Blue Wave Boats.

Built off our wildly popular 2800 Pure Hybrid, this unique open design features the freeboard and fuel capacity to run offshore in total comfort and confidence. Built to take up to 600hp and 140 gallons of fuel this boat will get you to the fishing grounds… and back. The shallow draft will also allow you to rule the bay when you want to stay near shore.

The thoughtful use of space and standard features aboard 2800 Makaira will surprise you. Built-in rod storage in the gunwales, bow seating, optional Frigid Rigid coffin box/forward lounge, toe kicks and combing bolsters provide the comfort you deserve and the performance you demand. You’ll find generous storage, console access plus room for a porta potti inside the console.

And true to its name, 2800 Makaira has the cockpit and deck space you need to land a marlin.
