1977 Mirage 28 – An Exceptionally Maintained Classic. We are pleased to present this beautifully kept Mirage 28, a classic family cruising yacht that has received meticulous care and remains in excellent condition, both externally and internally, for a vessel of her vintage. The Mirage 28 is a highly regarded and proven family cruiser, providing a surprisingly roomy cabin for a 28ft boat, alongside a comfortable cockpit and predictable sailing performance. Her functional design makes her perfectly suited for laid-back family trips or for couples seeking an easy-to-manage yacht for coastal exploration.

What truly distinguishes this specific boat is her remarkable condition. She has clearly flourished under attentive ownership and consistent upkeep, appearing far better than most yachts of her era. The exterior shows clear evidence of diligent maintenance, while the interior remains clean, tidy, and welcoming, offering a much fresher atmosphere than comparable vintage models. Stepping on deck, the high standard of care is instantly evident.

The accommodation remains in superb order, featuring a cozy saloon, a practical galley, a private heads, and generous sleeping quarters for her size. She stands as an especially attractive option for anyone in search of an affordable family cruiser that does not require an extensive restoration project. Much of the labor required to bring an older vessel up to a high cruising standard has already been completed, enabling her next owner to focus on enjoying time on the water rather than undertaking repairs.

The Mirage 28’s fin keel and balanced handling make her a reliable and pleasant coastal cruiser, while her modest dimensions ensure she is straightforward to maneuver and berth. For those searching for a Mirage 28 specifically, or simply a well-presented, budget-friendly family yacht, this example warrants serious consideration. Do not let her age deter you; she is an impressively preserved yacht that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Early viewing is highly recommended.
