BUILT FOR ADVENTURE
The 28 Explorer is purpose-built for offshore exploration. High freeboards, a secure walkaround layout and a closed transom provide confidence when conditions become challenging, while oversized handrails and a practical side dive door make movement around the boat safe and effortless. Designed to inspire confidence at sea, the 28 Explorer is ready for wherever the horizon leads.
OFFSHORE PERFORMANCE
At the heart of the 28 Explorer is Wellcraft’s advanced W.I.S.E. (Wellcraft Infusion Structure Engineering) hull technology. Designed to be lighter, stronger and more efficient, it delivers the confident ride, responsive handling and offshore capability that Wellcraft is renowned for.
With up to 400 horsepower available and the ability to exceed 50 knots, the 28 Explorer combines exhilarating performance with the durability required for serious exploration.
COMFORT WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Behind the protection of the enclosed wheelhouse, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed space that makes long days on the water more enjoyable. Expansive glazing delivers excellent visibility, while comfortable seating, practical storage and smart onboard amenities create a welcoming environment in all conditions.
A dedicated cabin, enclosed head compartment and available galley features make weekend escapes effortless, while optional heating and air conditioning help maintain comfort throughout the seasons.
ADAPTABLE TO YOUR LIFESTYLE
Every adventure is different, which is why the 28 Explorer offers multiple cockpit configurations to suit the way you boat.
The Lounge configuration creates a social environment for entertaining family and friends, while the Barracuda layout is designed for anglers seeking a capable offshore fishing platform. For those wanting to extend their time on the water, the unique Sleeper configuration provides additional overnight accommodation and versatile outdoor living spaces.
