Introduced in the late 1980s, the Jeanneau Sun Dream 28 stands as a testament to the era when French boatbuilding began to master the art of the "big" small cruiser. Designed by the prolific Tony Castro, whose pedigree includes everything from Admiral’s Cup racers to luxury superyachts, the Sun Dream 28 was engineered to provide a level of accommodation and performance that typically required a 30-foot hull. Produced between 1987 and 1991, the model bridged the gap between the utilitarian cruisers of the early 80s and the more voluminous Sun Odyssey range that would follow. It remains a popular choice on the second-hand market for coastal sailors who demand a legitimate aft cabin and a separate head without the slip fees associated with larger vessels.
