Overview
About this vessel
The Wellcraft 28 Explorer is purpose-built for those who see boating as more than a pastime — it's a platform for adventure. With a fully enclosed wheelhouse and offshore-ready design, it delivers protection, capability, and confidence in a wide range of conditions, making it ideal for extended cruising and all-season exploration.
At just under 28 feet, the 28 Explorer combines a substantial beam with a highly practical layout, maximising both interior shelter and usable deck space. The walkaround design, integrated steps, and dive door enhance ease of movement onboard, while multiple aft cockpit configurations — from lounge to fishing-focused setups — allow the boat to adapt effortlessly to different lifestyles on the water.
Powered by up to 400 horsepower, the hull is engineered for confident offshore performance, supported by Wellcraft's advanced construction technology for strength, efficiency, and ride comfort. A thoughtfully equipped standard specification includes essential navigation and safety systems, alongside durable deck hardware designed for real-world usability.
Inside the wheelhouse, the protected helm and enclosed space extend usability well beyond fair-weather boating, while optional upgrades such as advanced electronics, bow thrusters, stabilisation systems, and interior comfort packs allow owners to tailor the vessel for longer journeys or more specialised use.
Robust, versatile, and adventure-driven, the 28 Explorer redefines what a compact explorer can be, delivering true go-anywhere capability in a manageable, highly functional platform.
