Albin 28 Tournament Express

2000 Albin 28 Tournament Express - Yanmar 300HP Diesel Shaft Drive

Proven Offshore Fishing Cruiser | Economical Diesel Power | Bow Thruster | Comfortable Overnight Accommodation

Adelaide Boat Sales is pleased to present this 2000 Albin 28 Tournament Express, a highly regarded American-built offshore fishing cruiser combining exceptional seaworthiness, practical fishing capabilities and comfortable overnight accommodation.

Built with a strong fibreglass hull and featuring Albin's renowned progressive modified-V design, the Tournament Express has earned an excellent reputation for its offshore handling, stability and versatility. Designed to comfortably handle coastal cruising and serious offshore fishing, the Albin 28 is a capable and practical vessel that remains highly sought after by boating enthusiasts.

Powered by a single 300HP Yanmar 6LPA-STP2 turbo diesel, delivering power through a traditional inboard shaft drive, this vessel offers the reliability, simplicity and efficiency associated with diesel propulsion. With approximately 988 engine hours and a reported cruising speed of 18 knots, the Albin provides an appealing combination of performance and economical operation.

The addition of a bow thruster makes manoeuvring around marinas, berths and tight spaces considerably easier, while the protected helm and practical cockpit arrangement make this vessel well suited to extended days on the water.

Built for Offshore Fishing

The Albin 28 Tournament Express was purpose-designed with the serious fisherman in mind, featuring a generous working cockpit, excellent access around the vessel and a substantial hull capable of handling a variety of sea conditions.

The cockpit is equipped with a bait board and live bait tanks, providing a practical fishing platform for everything from inshore fishing through to offshore adventures.

A stainless steel extended aft bimini frame provides additional cockpit coverage, although the canvas requires replacement.

With a substantial 500-litre fuel capacity, the Albin is well suited to longer coastal trips and extended fishing outings, subject to actual consumption and operating conditions.

Comfortable Overnight Accommodation

Unlike many dedicated fishing boats of this size, the Albin 28 offers a surprisingly comfortable and functional interior, making it equally suitable for weekends away, coastal cruising or overnight fishing trips.

The open-plan cabin features a convertible dinette that forms a double berth, together with an additional aft double berth, providing sleeping accommodation for up to four people.

The galley is equipped with refrigeration, while a separate enclosed bathroom incorporates a manual Jabsco marine toilet and shower facilities.

With approximately 136 litres of freshwater capacity and a 76-litre holding tank, the accommodation is practical for overnight stays and extended weekends on the water.
