The Sea Pearl 28 represents the evolutionary peak of Marine Concepts' "sensible cruising" philosophy. Designed by Ron Johnson as a larger, more capable successor to the legendary Sea Pearl 21, the 28-foot model was intended to bridge the gap between a trailerable daysailer and a legitimate coastal cruiser. It retains the signature sharpie-inspired hull form and cat-ketch rig that defined the brand, but adds the displacement and interior volume necessary for multi-week voyages. Built in Tarpon Springs, Florida, the Sea Pearl 28 is a rare find on the secondary market, as far fewer were produced than its smaller sibling, yet it remains highly sought after by "thin water" sailors who prioritize access to shallow anchorages over blue-water heft.
