Broker's Comments
Boatshed Essex are proud to present this tidy example of the Gibsea 28, having the reputation of solid build and providing a comfortable cruising yacht, from popular French builder Gilbert Marine.
This 28ft yacht provides comfortable accommodation for a crew of six, including an aft cabin, a separate heads, roomy galley and comfortable saloon. Out on deck there is plenty of room along the side decks and forward on the foredeck. The cockpit is roomy and has a safe feel, with access to sail controls led into the cockpit.
This Gibsea appears to have been kept in good condition and would provide an excellent family cruising yacht and equally suited for single handed coastal and with the lifting keel, exploring rivers and estuaries.
If you would like any further information, or to organise a personal viewing, then please contact our office and one of the team will be pleased to help.
