Flagship — 28'6" / 8.7 m — Two ways to rig it
HALO 28
Efficient. Fast. Robust. Adaptable. One hull, two rigs: the Expedition for range, the Performance for speed — engineered for those who demand the best on the water.
Starting At
Expedition — $299,000
Performance — $329,000
The Mission — Purpose-Built
Purpose-built. Not adapted.
Every line, every angle, and every system aboard the Halo 28 traces back to a single mission: a compact offshore fishing platform that keeps its nerve when the weather doesn't. This was never a family boat retrofitted with rod holders. It was drawn from the first sketch around the way serious anglers actually fish — long runs out, hard days on the grounds, and a confident ride home.
Serious offshore capability in the 30-foot-and-under class
Genuine offshore capability in a trailerable package. Tow it, launch it, own it without a marina bill.
Fishing-first layout
Deck space, storage, and systems arranged around the fish, not around a floor plan.
Designed by experience
Shaped by offshore boat builders and working fishermen — people who test their opinions 40 miles out.

One hull. Two arguments.
Same carbon-reinforced platform, two Mercury power packages. Every number below comes off the factory sea-trial data sheets — 3 aboard, 4-knot wind, 3–4 foot swell.

Construction
Vacuum-infused epoxy with E-glass and carbon fibre reinforcement — the construction method of choice for high-end builders worldwide. The result is an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio: 2.5 tons where competitors carry 6,600–7,500 lb.
Range & Efficiency
An unequalled horsepower-to-weight ratio in class. The Expedition with twin Mercury 150s covers 554.8 miles on a single fill of the 158.5-gallon tanks at best cruise. Canyon runs stop being a fuel-budget conversation.
Electronics
Dual 12-inch Raymarine Axiom MFDs, autopilot, Quantum radar, VHF, a 1kW in-hull transducer plus a transom unit — standard, not a five-figure option box. Hertz audio with four 225-watt speakers rounds out the console.
Fishing Platform
158 gallons of insulated fish box capacity, a 50-gallon pressurized livewell, twelve Gemlux rod holders, a seven-rod rocket launcher, and a reinforced outrigger mount. The 9'5" beam on twin hulls holds a drift without the roll.
Unsinkable
Eight-inch-wide gunnels stand 28 inches off the deck. Cambered decks expel water fast. The hull itself is unsinkable — engineered for the water between Cape Town's two oceans, delivered to yours.
