RAYGLASS BOATS Protector Targa 28

DEVOCEAN is a 2003 Protector 28 RIB that combines heavy-duty construction with exceptional ride quality and versatility. The raised bow, deep-V fiberglass hull, reinforced deck, and hardtop provide superb stability, shock absorption, and safety in challenging conditions. Additionally, the enclosed cabin features two 7-foot berths, offering great weather protection and comfortable, basic overnight accommodation. Kept by just one owner since new, DEVOCEAN has been professionally yard-maintained and stored indoors when not in use. The vessel has benefited from continuous upgrades, including new Hypalon tubes (installed in 2015 by 84 St. Boatworks in Florida), new twin Yamaha F150 outboards in 2022 (with low hours on each engine), teak decks installed by Jamestown Boatyard in 2012, a new helm chartplotter, and fresh batteries in 2024. Designed and built in New Zealand by Rayglass Boats, the Protector 28 Targa is widely respected among professionals and serious recreational boaters alike. It is an ideal support boat, tender, regatta mark/safety boat, or high-performance day boat. A Berthon Essential listing.
