The Caliber 28 represents a significant milestone in American boatbuilding as the inaugural model from Caliber Yachts. Conceived by naval architect Michael McCreary and his brother George in 1981, the design was famously first constructed in a Clearwater, Florida garage. While the company eventually moved to a dedicated facility to produce much larger ocean-crossing vessels, the Caliber 28 established the "Long Range Cruiser" DNA that would define the brand. With roughly 48 hulls produced before production shifted toward the Caliber 33 in 1985, this model is a rare find on the used market, often characterized as a "big-small boat" due to its exceptional beam and robust construction. It serves as an entry-point for sailors seeking a coastal cruiser with the structural integrity typically reserved for offshore yachts.
