Albin 28 Tournament Express

2002 Albin 28 Tournament Express - "Splash"

A well-regarded classic in the Albin lineup, this 28’ Tournament Express is a versatile and capable performer for both cruising and sportfishing. Splash features a sleek blue hull with white decks and cabin superstructure, offering a stylish yet practical layout designed for comfort and utility.

This vessel boasts a hardtop and a spacious aft cockpit with deep sides—ideal for anglers and families alike. Narrow side decks lead to a small foredeck with an integrated anchor platform, while midship you’ll find a well-placed engine hatch covering the reliable Yanmar Marine diesel engine with a v-drive configuration for efficient performance.

The pilothouse-style helm is to starboard with a companion seat to port, providing excellent visibility and shelter underway. Below deck, the layout includes a forward convertible berth/dinette, an enclosed head to starboard, and a compact galley to port. A comfortable quarterberth is tucked aft beneath the upper deck, maximizing overnight accommodations without compromising on deck space.

Whether you’re heading offshore for a weekend adventure or enjoying a quiet cruise along the coast, the Albin 28 Tournament Express offers timeless design and dependable capability.
