About
Degerö 28 MS – The Original YACHT Test Boat | Top-Notch Finnish Quality | Extensively Modernized
**A rare opportunity for enthusiasts of high-quality Scandinavian motor-sailers.**
Some yachts simply age—others become classics.
This Degerö 28 MS undoubtedly belongs to the second category.
Built in Finland based on designs by **Risto Kristeri**, the Degerö has stood for decades as a symbol of uncompromising quality, exceptional seaworthiness, and craftsmanship of the highest caliber. Among connoisseurs, it is considered—and not without reason—the **“Rolls-Royce” of compact motor-sailers**.
What makes it special:
**This is the very same boat that was tested by the renowned magazine YACHT in 1998.**
Even back then, this yacht impressed with its exceptionally solid construction, high-quality fittings, and a safety concept that instills confidence even in rough weather. The Degerö offers the comfort of a significantly larger yacht combined with the sailing characteristics of a full-fledged sailboat.

Built for people who’d rather get there than impress
While many modern production yachts are designed for maximum interior width and harbor comfort, the Degerö was built for what really matters out on the water:
* exceptional course stability
* smooth handling at sea
* sheltered interior helm station
* excellent all-around visibility
* extremely sturdy laminate construction
* high-quality Finnish craftsmanship
* low-lying ballast
* full-length keel
Whether in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, or on longer voyages in Scandinavia:
The Degerö always gives you the reassuring feeling of being on a boat that can do more than its size would suggest.

Conclusion
You don’t buy a Degerö just because it’s currently in vogue.
You make a conscious decision to choose a boat that has embodied safety, quality, and timeless elegance for decades.
Those looking for modern, mass-produced fiberglass boats will find what they’re looking for elsewhere.
However, anyone looking for an exceptionally solidly built, high-quality Finnish yacht with a documented history, extensive amenities, and excellent condition should definitely take a look at this boat.
