Wellcraft unveils its all-new 355

Destined to be the talk of the dock at the upcoming Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show at the end of October, the all-new Wellcraft 355 is already turning heads. At the annual fall show it will make its first U.S. public appearance and the 36-foot performance and adventure boat is ready to push the limits with its versatility. With several Wellcraft dealers dotting the Great Lakes region, there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing a lot of this new model come next summer.

Performance DNA

For longer than six decades, the iconic brand has made a name for itself by building quality boats designed for offshore boating with a strong history of power and performance. 

Wellcraft boasts 60 years of passion and a DNA that’s dynamic, sporty and adrenaline-driven with boats that are fast and powerful with cruising speeds capable of 40 plus knots. 

“Built to own the offshore, they are ultra-seaworthy and definitely robust, designed for extreme sensations and high intensity outings,” confirms Nick Harvey, Wellcraft brand director.

Always loyal to its DNA, Wellcraft has added a new chapter to its history. The 355 offers versatility all adventurers seek, in all types of weather, providing a new perspective and enthusiasm for boaters worldwide.

Up For The Challenge

Outlasting trends, this new Wellcraft will enable boaters to conquer new territories, pushing the limits further than ever before. Geared toward a new generation of performance cruisers, the 355 provides a wide-range of capabilities and purposeful functions, responding to the toughest demands and meeting every challenge. 

The Wellcraft 355 takes the lead in every aspect: outstanding design, comfort, and most importantly, speed and seaworthiness. Designed to push the limits – out past the horizon where the water is deep and adventure begins – Wellcraft utilizes its rich heritage of offshore experience to push into this new market with American flare and shameless enthusiasm that make it ideal for Great Lakes.

“There is a new breed of enthusiastic performance boaters. They want to see the world from a different perspective,” adds Harvey. “Instead of gazing from shore, they shove off and never look back.”

Winning Combo

Every inch of the Wellcraft 355 has been designed to the highest standards. Wellcraft teamed up with famed American naval architect Michael Peters, an extremely talented yacht designer Pawel Denert and Beneteau Group Deputy CEO Camillo Garronni. This winning team created this outstanding design to offer a fast and seaworthy American outboard commuter for those looking to push their limits further and faster in all water conditions.

“Wellcraft is my dream brand,” explains Girotti. “It has strong values and heritage. We wanta to boost it with an innovative series of boats that will perfectly match its DNA.”
