Friends! Today we have a small but sturdy Vista 28 motorsailer for €5589.
Location: Horten, Norway
Length: 8.5 m
Draft: 1.2 m
Beam: 2.9 m
Displacement: 4,000 kg
Engine: Vetus inboard diesel
Cabins: 1
Sleeps: 4
Rig: Sloop
The Vista 28 is a practical motorsailer designed for coastal cruising and longer stays on board. The previous owner lived aboard full-time and is now moving ashore. The shallow draft lets you slip into small harbors and anchorages, while the hull shape and full-length keel add stability in changing conditions.
The Vetus diesel has proven reliable on regular trips to Oslo and Hvasser. Engine mounts and through-hulls were replaced in 2023, and the boat remains economical with low fuel consumption.
Inside, you’ll find a bright saloon, a forward cabin, and a spacious wheelhouse. Upholstery in the saloon and forepeak is in usable condition, and the cockpit is protected by a new canopy installed in 2023.
Five sails come with the boat — two in good condition and three showing some age with minor tears. The deck and railings could use a bit of care, and the cockpit floor will eventually need replacement, though nothing urgent. The hull itself is solid and watertight; during heavy rain, though, minor leaks can appear at deck fittings and the forward hatch — better fix that.
Upgrades since 2020: new battery bank, fuel pump, and water-separating diesel filter. The Wallas heater needs service. A berth in Horten guest harbor may be transferred to the new owner.
