2021 NauticStar 28 XS

The 2021 NauticStar 28 XS is a 28-foot center console built on a fiberglass hull designed to handle rough water with a dry, comfortable ride. The hull features a 21-degree deadrise at the transom and a 50-degree entry deadrise at the bow, with reverse chines and an extreme-bow flair that pushes water away from passengers and helps the boat plane quickly. Twin Yamaha 300 hp outboards deliver 600 hp total, paired with a 200-gallon fuel tank for range and power whether offshore fishing, running to the breakers, or cruising the coast.

The layout balances serious fishing with comfort and versatility. A full console cabin includes a head with holding tank, pressurized freshwater sink and shower, SeaDek flooring, and a port-light window. The spacious cockpit features cushioned bow seating with flip-out backrests and wrap-around seating throughout. An insulated fish-prep station forward includes fish boxes, livewells, tackle storage, cutting board, and sink. Aft fold-down seating, stainless-steel rod and drink holders, an in-floor storage system, and a swim ladder round out the setup.

The helm provides generous space for dual chart plotters and marine electronics installation, with composite, wood-free construction throughout. The boat works equally well for tournament fishing, diving trips, family outings, or relaxing days on the water.
