M28R
Exceptional Control.
Ruthless Speed.
Bold. Beautiful.
The DCB M28R is a precision-built, adrenaline-pumping catamaran that delivers serious performance in a compact package. As the most approachable model in the outboard lineup, it brings exotic looks, race-inspired handling, and the signature DCB attention to detail that stands out on any dock and dominates on the water.
One of its standout features is the integrated rear sun lounge—perfect for relaxing at the dock or during a calm cruise. With extra storage tucked underneath, it keeps your gear organized while maintaining a clean, ready-for-action cockpit. The M28R proves that you don’t need a massive footprint to make a bold impression.
Raw Power
Powered exclusively by Mercury Racing outboards, the M28R can be equipped with your choice of twin 300R, 400R, or the supercharged 500R engines—delivering explosive acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and the kind of top-end speed that defines DCB performance. Whether carving up glassy lakes or running wide open across big water, the M28 delivers a pure, visceral driving experience every time you push the throttles forward.
Expertly
The M28’s sleek wraparound windshield and six-person seating configuration reflect DCB’s obsessive attention to comfort, style, and detail. From its advanced composite lamination to its signature gelcoat and interior finish, the M28R embodies the relentless pursuit of perfection that defines DCB.
Small in footprint, massive in presence—the M28 isn’t just a boat. It’s your ticket to the world of DCB: a family of super cats where performance meets prestige, and every throttle push is a statement.

Deck
The M28R delivers versatility with three deck configurations to match your boating style. Choose the sleek Traditional Full Deck, the Walkthrough Open Bow for easy movement and added seating, or the Full-Windshield Open Bow for wind protection with open-air comfort.
