MASTERS 288 BAY BOAT
The Masters 288 combines tournament fishing performance with real family comfort in a 28-foot hybrid.
The Masters 288 Bay Boat introduces the next evolution of the Masters Series with a true hybrid-style bay boat design that is equally capable in shallow water as it is offshore. Built for anglers who want the freedom to fish skinny water, open bays and nearshore conditions without compromise, the Masters 288 blends serious fishing functionality with the size, confidence and comfort needed for bigger water. Every area of the boat has been thoughtfully reimagined, from the deck layout and console design to the seating, storage and overall Sportsman 3.0 styling. The result is a larger, more versatile bay boat built to deliver shallow-water performance, offshore capability, family-friendly comfort and a refined on-water experience. With its next-generation design, in-house developed components and purpose-built layout, the Masters 288 is positioned to become the new flagship of the Sportsman bay boat lineup.
