1999 Henriques 28 SportFisher For Sale

Henriques is family-owned Portuguese custom boat builder in New Jersey with a reputation for building strong and capable vessels.

The construction quality, fit and finish exceeds that of all its competitors.

The design and layout of this 12,500 lb [empty weight] displacement vessel provides unparalleled living, fishing, and storage spaces as compared to even larger comparable vessels of 30-34', but with a sea deflecting Carolina bow flare, and larger running gear and control surfaces than its competitors.

This two owner USCG documented vessel also has fisheries and coastal endorsements but has never been used in commercial service. Just add a Captain and go!

The twin 200HP six cylinder Volvo Turbodiesel power plants provide speed, economy and durability unmatched by smaller Yanmars or much less far more inefficient and thirsty gas engines.
The twin Volvos are a $12k upgrade from standard 4cyl Yanmars.

22knots cruise yields 12.5 GPH fuel consumption. With 220 gallon fuel capacity, this capable and rugged vessel can take you from Key West to Tampa in less than a day with ample fuel in reserve. Or get 50+ miles offshore and back with a full day's fishing in between.

The Henriques' deep profiled hull and topside design provides much greater and useful living and working spaces than comparable vessels. The 70 square foot cockpit with four gunwale rod holders, and seven rod holders on aft tower, (in addition to two Rupp 20' outriggers) also doubles as a rear deck lounge with room for four captain's chairs.

In addition to fresh and saltwater washdowns, there's an Insulated 42 gallon Livewell and Insulated 60 gallon Fishbox.
Comes complete with Recessed 3 drawer tackle storage drawer, Tuna door, Swim ladder and Cockpit light.

The bridge deck salon area is perfect for just hanging out. It's totally enclosed and weather proof with all new upholstery. You'll enjoy the bright and spacious outdoor living room feeling with great visibility all around.

The helm area has 2 fully featured six cushion Todd Rotocast adjustable chairs for excellent captain and first mate sight lines underway, but also comfortable seating while at dock.
Additionally, there is bottom and back cushioned bench seating for three others, all within a 60 square foot, completely enclosed and watertight isinglass enclosure.

Both the helm area and Tuna tower each have pairs of remote speakers powered by a Fusion head unit with CD player.

The forward compartment, with 6'2"of headroom, has a galley kitchen, with sink, new microwave, single burner stove and Norcold fridge to port and a stand-up Vacuflush electric head with new 10 gallon holding tank with tank sensor and Y Valve, sink, medicine cabinet and storage to starboard.

The Interior also features a hanging locker.

The forward V berth, convertible to a table and twin settee, has a custom, two layer foam mattress, and measures 78" long and 84" at its widest point, comfortably sleeping two six footers. A 26" Vizio smart TV is positioned forward, on a four way adjustable, pivoting mount.

Topside, there are two wide runged ladders to the Tuna tower, with double bench seat, wheel, remote auxiliary steering/control station, located 15 feet above waterline and providing long range visibility, whether for fishing or sunset and bird watching at the dock.

Imagine a perfect weekend on the water with family and friends..perhaps doing some serious fishing, enjoying some diving, swimming or snorkeling off the gated rear platform and at the end of the day, gathering in the spacious enclosed bridge deck salon. If you were lucky, there's barbequed fresh catch for dinner..

Boat is USCG documented with both fisheries and coastwise endorsements.

It would be a challenge to find anything wrong with this boat. It's a gem!
