8. Review

There is a fine line between design that’s clever use of space and design that’s gimmicky. The Aquador 28C definitely falls on the right side of the divide.
Its unusual midships cabin is a comfortable bolt-hole in its own right, as well as a great conversation piece, and the way the wheelhouse opens up both to the elements and the cockpit makes it a joy to use come rain or shine.
In short, this is one of the most versatile layouts we have come across, using the full length of the boat to good effect. Moreover the boat has been well put-together, is super smart in appearance and performs cleanly at up to 25 knots.
