ABOUT THE WELLCRAFT 28 EXPLORER

The Wellcraft 28 Explorer is an all-new, offshore-ready model built for boaters who want to go farther, stay out longer, and do it in comfort and style. With a fully enclosed wheelhouse, a distinctive Z-line silhouette, high freeboards, and a closed transom, the 28 Explorer is engineered for true four-season, long-range exploring — not just a fair-weather day boat.

Performance & Construction:

Built on Wellcraft's advanced stepped hull, developed in partnership with stepped-hull specialist Navia, and reinforced with W.I.S.E. (Wellcraft Infujection Structure Engineering) technology for a lighter, stiffer, and stronger platform. Paired with the twin Mercury 200hp FourStrokes on this boat, expect brisk acceleration, a soft, dry ride in chop, and confident handling at speed — this hull design is capable of over 50 knots depending on power.

Deck & Layout:

A one-level walkaround deck with oversized handrails, rubrails, and a side dive door (with integrated boarding steps) makes moving around the boat — and getting in and out of the water — easy and secure. This particular boat is configured in the social Lounge layout, finished in Arctic upholstery throughout, ideal for entertaining guests or cruising with the family.

Wheelhouse & Comfort:

The fully enclosed wheelhouse wraps you in panoramic glass, giving you weather protection without sacrificing visibility — a genuine command center for long-distance cruising. Add the Webasto diesel heating system and this boat is ready for cool mornings and late-season outings most open boats can't handle.

Loaded with Options:

This particular boat comes extremely well equipped straight from the factory: Garmin premium electronics, Fusion premium audio, a bow thruster and electric trim tabs for easy handling, upgraded Titanium Marine Mat decking, a cockpit table, extra midship cleats, LED lighting, and full protective covers.
