2021 Blue Wave Makaira 28 – Lift Kept, Covered & Ready for Adventure

The Makaira 28 is a true do-it-all center console—equally capable offshore, inshore, or at the sandbar. With a smooth offshore ride, shallow draft, and versatile layout, she's built to fish hard, cruise comfortably, and go wherever the day takes you.

This vessel has been lift stored, covered, and exceptionally maintained, reflecting the care of a knowledgeable owner. Turn-key and ready to enjoy, she's equally suited for serious anglers, coastal cruisers, and active boating families.

One of this Makaira's standout features is the upper helm station, offering outstanding visibility for spotting fish, navigating shallow bays, and maneuvering in crowded waterways. Paired with the boat's shallow draft, you'll have the freedom to explore backcountry waters, sandbars, and flats that are inaccessible to many boats in this size range.

BROKER'S WALK-THROUGH

Freshly detailed and exceptionally clean, this 2021 Blue Wave Makaira 28 is loaded with desirable upgrades and shows pride of ownership throughout. Lift-kept under a custom roof, this boat has been well protected and carefully maintained.

You'll immediately notice the upper helm station, which is a fantastic upgrade when you're running the boat, especially in shallow water or when you want a better vantage point while fishing. She also has a jack plate and a self-deploying trolling motor, giving you excellent control and versatility whether you're working the flats or heading offshore.

You'll find two 16-inch Garmin multifunction displays in the lower helm and one 16" Garmin in the Upper Helm, putting your navigation, electronics, and fish-finding information right where you need it. And when it's time to relax, the Llebroc marine seating provides a comfortable, supportive place to settle in for a full day on the water.

For the serious angler, this boat is exceptionally well set up, with four livewells, 13 rod holders built into the hardtop, and another 6 rod holders along the gunwales. There's plenty of room to keep your gear organized and ready to fish.

When it's time to relax, the Fusion stereo and YETI cooler make this boat just as enjoyable for cruising, sandbar days, and hanging out with family and friends as it is for fishing.

The engines have been recently serviced, and the hull is free of bottom paint, which is another big plus for buyers looking for a clean, lift-kept boat.

Clean, upgraded, lift-kept, and ready to fish—this Makaira 28 is a sweet boat that's ready for her next owner.
