About this yacht
This 1989 Mako 286 is a clean, well-kept example of one of Mako’s classic offshore hulls, made even more unique by a custom flybridge with a fully functional upper helm station.
In 1997, the boat was upgraded with twin 5.7-liter Marine Power engines paired with Velvet Drive transmissions, providing a strong and proven inboard power package. The boat runs great and has been maintained with pride.
The elevated flybridge helm offers excellent visibility while cruising, fishing, docking, or spotting birds and fish offshore, while the spacious cockpit retains the versatility that made the Mako 286 such a respected fishing and cruising platform.
The boat presents very well for its age and offers a tremendous amount of capability for someone looking for a classic offshore fishing boat, family cruiser, or distinctive Mako with a configuration you do not see every day.
