Performance and versatility define the 2027 Wellcraft 28 Explorer, a new boat engineered to function as an all-season offshore cruiser. With a hull designed for demanding conditions, this model reaches a maximum speed of 50 knots while maintaining stability for its passengers. The vessel is certified for up to 9 people in Category C or 7 people in Category B, ensuring a robust and secure experience on the water.
The layout maximizes the 8.51-meter length through clever use of onboard space. The forward deck features an integrated social area including a sofa and a central table, transitioning into a practical sunbed for relaxing at anchor. Below decks, the design prioritizes utility, offering a cabin configuration that includes two berths and a dedicated marine head, providing necessary privacy for extended days on the water.
Power is provided by a single Mercury 300 HP engine, selected to balance offshore performance with operational efficiency. This unit is available for delivery in late summer 2027, with the opportunity to customize specific configurations, electronics, and interior details until the end of March. The vessel is offered at 142.950 EUR, VAT excluded, on an ex-works basis.
This explorer is suited for owners seeking a high-speed, multi-purpose vessel capable of handling varying sea conditions without sacrificing comfort. Its dual-purpose nature—combining agile handling with enough internal space for overnight stays—makes it a unique entry in its size class. All inquiries should be directed toward confirming current customization windows for the 2027 production cycle.
