The ELLIS 28 was designed by Ralph Ellis to be extremely seaworthy. She is equally successful as a fishing boat, day boat, or weekend cruiser, and her sharp looking hull will produce a good cruising speed. Many people marvel at the way this boat rides-- "She rides a rough sea like she is another 8 feet in length..." and, "she handles like a charm around the harbor..." are two popular comments from customers. This boat is not too big to handle, and not too small to cruise the coastline. In fact, most people find her just right. Maybe that is why it has always been our most popular boat.

Because we build each Ellis 28 on a semi-custom basis, we complete each one to the proper specifications for an owner’s use. This method of boatbuilding will result in a boat that is your boat, built to satisfy your needs.
