About Wellcraft

Volume production

Groupe Beneteau's American offshore brand, founded in 1955 — thirteen outboard boats from 6.2 to 11.9 m: the Fisherman centre consoles (202 to 352), the Crossover T-Tops and Speedsters (28, 33, 38) and the 28 and 38 Explorer, built to 'push the limits offshore' at up to 50 knots.

Wellcraft Marine Corporation was founded in 1955 in Sarasota, Florida, building small wooden runabouts and skiffs of 12 to 17 feet before moving to moulded fibreglass in the early 1960s. In 1970 the naval architect C. Raymond Hunt drew five high-performance Deep-V hulls with Step-Lifts for Wellcraft, the basis of the V-20 Step-Lift Fisherman centre console of 1979; the 248 Sportsman walkaround marked the 25th anniversary in 1980, the Scarab 377 Special Edition of 1983 became an icon of performance boating, and the 26 Scarab Center Console starred on Baywatch through the show's eleven-year run. The Fisherman 2800 Coastal followed in 1994 and the High Performance Boot Camp and Saltwater Fishing School in 2000 and 2001. Platinum Equity acquired Wellcraft in 2010, the 35 Scarab Offshore Tournament launched with over 1,000 horsepower in 2013, and in 2014 Wellcraft joined Groupe Beneteau; the Fisherman Series came in 2017 and, from 2022, the performance cruisers -- the 355 Explorer, the 44 Explorer of 2023, the 38 T-Top of 2024 and the 28 T-Top of 2025.
