2020 Blue Wave 2800 Makaira

This 2020 Blue Wave 2800 Makaira was custom ordered with nearly every factory box checked, and it shows just 168 hours on a single Suzuki DF350A. Service was completed in September 2026, and the jack plate pump is new, so the next owner can step aboard and go.

The 2800 Makaira is Blue Wave's flagship hybrid: shallow enough to work the flats and the bay, with the size and hull to run offshore when the weather allows. This one was built to fish both.

Plus, you have the stand-through second station, Minn Kota 112lb thrust trolling motor, 10' Blade PowerPole.

Spacious Cockpit and Forward Seating:

The Makaira boasts a roomy cockpit that rivals traditional center consoles. The forward seating wraps around and easily converts into a casting platform or u-shaped seating, giving you flexibility for various activities. The forward pitch-well, a signature feature of the 2800 Makira, is front and center, and it can be equipped with an optional quick stow and easy access table and base, providing functionality unseen in larger boats.

Smart Storage Solutions:

Blue Wave's attention to detail shines with lockable rod storage built into the gunwales, both port and starboard, capable of accommodating up to ten 8' rods with reels. These compartments also double as dry storage, keeping your gear safe and organized.
