The ETAP 28s represents the modern zenith of Etap Yachting’s storied commitment to unsinkable design, serving as the sophisticated successor to the legendary Etap 28i. Launched in the mid-2000s and designed by the French naval architects Stéphan Bertand and Martin Hamel, the 28s was a departure from the more utilitarian aesthetics of its predecessors, embracing a "loft-style" interior and a sleeker exterior profile. It remains a standout in the sub-30-foot cruising market, primarily because it was one of the few production yachts of its size to achieve CE Category B (offshore) certification while maintaining a double-skin hull construction filled with closed-cell polyurethane foam. This construction method not only ensures buoyancy in the event of a hull breach but also provides exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation, making the boat notably quieter and drier than its single-skin competitors.
