Wellcraft Reveals Three New 28-Foot Models

September 25, 2025

Wellcraft has launched three new 28-foot models built to conquer new territories: the Wellcraft 28 Speedster, the Wellcraft 28 T-Top, and the Wellcraft 28 Explorer.

Each shares the same cutting-edge hull design, while answering different needs: either open-air freedom with or without T-Top, or a fully protected wheelhouse for exploring distant shores. 

The Wellcraft 28 T-Top and Wellcraft 28 Explorer will make their World Premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2026. The North American Debut of the Wellcraft 28 T-Top will be at the Miami International Boat Show in February 2026.

Configurations

Wellcraft imagined distinct aft cockpit configurations, each transforming the way boaters can live on board.

The LOUNGE comes standard — a layout built for sharing the sea. Accommodating up to 13 people, including 9 forward-facing seats for optimal safety at speed, it’s the most social setup for boaters who love to entertain.

Both Wellcraft 28 T-Top and Wellcraft 28 Speedster can be transformed into sun lover’s paradise by RELAX aft cockpit layout arrangement with a large sunbed, hidden storage, and additional seating.>

the SLEEPER layout, exclusive to the Explorer, brings unexpected overnight comfort with two berths, combined with smart exterior lounging space.
