When it comes to houseboating over long weekends or during extended voyages, there are few boats that offer low operating costs and over-the-water comfort like the Adventure Craft™ 2800 CabinYacht™ houseboat.

At 28 feet, six inches with a 102-inch beam, the AC2800 is rated for 150 maximum horsepower that provides more than enough power to cruise the open water or quietly glide through shallow channels. Fed by a single 40-gallon fuel tank, the standard 135 hp Honda® outboard provides excellent fuel-efficiency for daylong pleasure boating or continuous maneuvering in shallow fishing waters.

Although efficiencies are commonplace on-board the Adventure Craft 2800, the best value is found in its expansive cabin. With nearly seven feet of headroom throughout the cabin and eight large screened windows, the generous enclosure provides a breezy, inviting escape from the midday sun. Inside are four lounge areas with seating, complete with swivel-base dining tables. Abundant storage space can be found under and behind each seat cushion. A compact galley conveniently splits each lounge area and includes a 2.7-cubic-foot refrigerator, stainless steel sink, countertop microwave, coffee maker and dry storage space. Opposite the galley, a full stand-up shower and marine head share mid-ship space. Outfitted with a 20-gallon fresh water tank and 15-gallon wastewater tank, you can travel to your destination in complete comfort. At night, the fore and aft lounge areas easily and quickly convert into two separate sleeping compartments for up to four adults. For privacy, color-coordinatedcurtains snap in-place on both doors, all windows and in-between sleeping areas.

You’ll enjoy the freedom to navigate your favorite waters from inside the cabin or high above on the flybridge. A dual-helm design allows the boat to be operated from high-back swivel chairs, inside or out. Each helm includes hydraulic steering, throttle controls and complete instrumentation. Radio communications and stereo system are located above the helm in the fore cabin area. The flybridge helm provides unobstructed, 360-degree views. For added comfort against intense sun, an all-weather fabric bimini cover easily deploys above the helm and offers stand-up height. The flybridge also includes a spacious sundeck with mold-in tanning platforms, a 3,000-Watt generator and an AC/heating unit.

Highlighting the Adventure Craft’s smooth lines is its cathedral trimaran hull. Unlike other keeled vessels, the AC2800 trimaran hull provides unmatched stability and its broad, 102-inch beam provides peace of mind on rough water. With only a 12-inch draft, this craft is designed for maneuverability in shallow water. The one-piece fiberglass hull provides superior durability and can safely withstand controlled “beaching” on sandy shoals. With pinpoint control in skinny water, the vessel provides anglers with access to even the most secluded fishing holes.

The starboard and portside deckwalks are 6-inch wide accessways around the perimeter of the boat that facilitate mooring and general maintenance. Stainless steel railings and grab handles abound for safety and security while moving up or down the deckwalks. Other exterior features include snap-on seat flotation cushions, bow and stern seat storage compartments, a portside swim ladder and a flybridge access ladder.

Equipped with a tandem-axle, aluminum trailer, the AC2800 is securely cradled for safe, over-the-road hauling. Safety features include a standard trailer light package, hydraulic surge braking system, heavy-duty ball hitch trailer coupler and a full-size spare tire. The effortless glide path trailer design makes for easy-on, easy-off trailer tending.

The Adventure Craft 2800 is more than just a boat; it’s your very own cabin on the lake.
