2026 Scarab SBI285 IDENTITY JET

The 2026 Scarab SBI285 is a 28-foot performance cruiser built around twin Rotax 300 PT/ST 1.6L jet engines producing up to 600 horsepower. The combination of jet propulsion and a 9-foot beam creates a responsive, maneuverable platform designed for both high-speed running and recreational boating. The boat carries 98 gallons of fuel and features an approximate 20-inch draft.

The cockpit centers on a U-shaped seating arrangement with flip-up bolsters and beneath-seat storage throughout. A modern helm station includes a touch-screen multifunction display, Bluetooth stereo, USB and 12-volt outlets, and a wireless phone charger at the starboard side. Aft, a generous swim platform connects to the cockpit via a transom door and is fitted with a stainless steel boarding ladder.

Additional accommodations include an enclosed head and changing compartment, wet storage for gear, and a wakeboard tower. The layout provides space for watersports equipment and passengers, balancing performance capability with comfort for family and social cruising.
