Since 2022, Wellcraft has made a strong comeback with powerful offshore models: the bold Wellcraft 38 Explorer, the flagship Wellcraft 44 Explorer, and the trend-setting Wellcraft 38 T-Top — all built to push the limits. Leveraging the visibility and recognition gained through these larger models, the brand now sets its sights on the heart of the market.
Wellcraft is targeting the active dayboating segment, the most dynamic in terms of volume, competition, and active users in the industry. With its new 28-footer (8,56 m), combining thrilling performance, versatility, and accessibility, Wellcraft is delivering a bold, high-performance and competitive offering — built for both casual boaters and passionate explorers.
More details will be revealed at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025. The new Wellcraft 28 will then make its world premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2026, followed by its North American debut at Miami International Boat show in February 2026.
EXPLORE TOGETHER - BUILT FOR BONDING
Built for active days on the water, the new model features layouts optimized for enjoying time with friends and family. Measuring 8.56 meters (28 feet) overall, it offers the most generous seating capacity in its class. The aft cockpit is fully configurable to suit every need — whether it’s for fishing, relaxing, or watersports. With a strong focus on sociability, Wellcraft enhances comfort through easy water access and overnight accommodations. The promise is clear: live fully, without compromise — with family or friends.
SIGNATURE WELLCRAFT PERFORMANCE
Wellcraft remains true to its reputation: delivering the most thrilling driving experience in its class. Thanks to an innovative build process that combines injection and infusion — Wellcraft Infujection Structure Engineering (W.I.S.E.) — the brand produces lighter, stiffer, and faster hulls. By optimizing the power-to-weight ratio, this cutting-edge technology improves performance, reduces onboard noise, and ensures outstanding seakeeping. Its sleek and twin stepped hull design allows for quicker planning: the boat lifts out of the water faster, improves efficiency, and reduces fuel consumption. Light, responsive, and powerful — it delivers instant acceleration, dynamic navigation, and an exhilarating driving experience.
BUILT FOR THE SEA - BUILT TO PROTECT
As with every Wellcraft, these 28-foot models inspire confidence. High freeboards ensure a dry, secure deck — even in rough conditions. Oversized handrails provide reassuring support for all onboard, every time you head out to explore. Adaptable to all conditions, the models feature multiple windshield and roof options offering varying levels of protection — while the bold and distinctive silhouette reinforces the Wellcraft style with its signature Z-shaped line. The new Wellcraft 28 marks the beginning of a new chapter: one of more accessible, more social exploration — all without compromising on performance or the unmistakable Wellcraft spirit.
