Performance That Defines the Category

At the core of the 28 Explorer is Wellcraft’s W.I.S.E. hull construction (Wellcraft Infusion Structural Engineering), delivering a lighter, stiffer, and stronger hull built for speed, efficiency, and control. Designed in partnership with stepped-hull specialists at Navia, the 28 Explorer planes quickly, accelerates aggressively, and runs dry and composed when conditions change.

Paired with powerful outboard options, the 28 Explorer exceeds expectations with responsive handling and thrilling performance — delivering the confidence to push farther and the control to enjoy every mile along the way.
