The 2026 Wellcraft 28 Explorer is a fiberglass sport cruiser built for both day cruising and overnight exploration. Powered by dual Mercury engines producing 400 horsepower total, the 28-footer sits on an advanced hull design shared with other models in the line, measuring 28 feet in length with a 9.5-foot beam and weighing approximately 7,050 pounds dry.
The cabin includes a single head and sleeping accommodations for four across two berths, supported by a protected helm area and reinforced structure designed for extended time aboard. The layout transitions easily between day-boat and overnight cruising modes. The aft cockpit offers multiple configurations—Lounge, Barracuda, and Sleeper options (the latter exclusive to the Explorer)—allowing owners to customize the boat to their preferred use.
The Explorer delivers the performance and build quality consistent with the Wellcraft brand, combining cruising capability with the responsiveness expected from the class.
