Boat overview

A flexible Mako for multiple fishing styles

The 28ft Mako combines an open fishing layout with a semi-enclosed forward cabin that adds shade and protection. Twin 115 HP Yamaha outboards provide a listed cruising speed of up to 22 knots.

This is a practical choice for small private groups that may want to troll offshore, fish reefs, work live bait along the coast or use spinning and jigging tackle. An onboard toilet, ice box and multimedia system add comfort during longer outings.

Boat questions

28ft Mako charter FAQ

How many passengers can use the 28ft Mako?

The listing repeatedly states up to four anglers. Confirm every adult and child when requesting the boat so capacity and safety equipment can be verified.

Is this the same as the other 28ft charter?

No. This Mako is listed with twin 115 HP Yamaha outboards, Captain Henry Reyes, a fighting chair, tuna tubes and a wireless trolling motor. The other 28ft page describes a single-outboard center console.

Can this boat fish offshore?

Yes. It is equipped for offshore trolling, but a full day is generally recommended to allow more travel and fishing time.

Does it have shade and a toilet?

Yes. The listing includes a semi-enclosed forward cabin for shade and an onboard toilet. Reconfirm the precise configuration if these are essential requirements.

Can we bring fly-fishing equipment?

The boat’s layout supports fly fishing, but specialized fly rods and reels should be confirmed in advance. Guests may need to bring their preferred fly equipment.

Are fishing licenses included?

The current page does not clearly state this. Ask the team to explain fishing-license requirements before departure.
