WELLCRAFT releases a new game-changer to own the offshore. In 2023, WELLCRAFT will push the limits further with the launch of its next Performance Cruiser – the company’s largest boat yet, the WELLCRAFT 435!

Outlasting trends and extending its Performance Cruiser series, WELLCRAFT continues to enable boaters to conquer new adventures with the announcement of the all-new, WELLCRAFT 435.

Built for all adventures and types of weather, the Wellcraft 435 was designed by the famed Garroni Studio in Italy and the highly recognized American naval architect Michael Peters. This all-new strong and elegant model is the largest available at 44’ (13.4m). Powered with twin or triple outboard engines totaling up to 1,200hp and equipped with a full beam pilot station, highly responsive controls, and exceptional navigation systems, the WELLCRAFT 435 responds to the toughest demands and meets every challenge – to go anywhere, to do anything.

Below deck are two luxurious and spacious cabins with bathrooms that each have separate showers to provide rich accommodations for up to five.
