Vessel Overview
The Wellcraft 355 is a fast, seaworthy vessel built with seakeeping ability in mind along with protection from the elements while still providing an open day boat lifestyle. A new generation of performance cruiser for the brand, her appearance is sharp and aggressive, reminiscent of other newer European brands that have been building commuter-style vessels with patrol boat aesthetics such as the Finnish boat builder Axopar and the Swedish boat builder Nimbus. However, Wellcraft has utilized its rich heritage of offshore experience to push into this new market with bold American flare and shameless enthusiasm. The result is a new breed of sleek and capable family adventure cruisers.
Overall Design And Performance

Wellcraft teamed up with famed American naval architect, Michael Peters and talented yacht designers Pawel Denert and Camillo Garronni. The team created the 355's outstanding design to offer a fast and sea-worthy American outboard commuter for those looking to push their limits further and faster in virtually any sea conditions. With triple Mercury or Yamaha engines, providing up to 1,050HP the Wellcraft 355 reaches top speeds of over 60 MPH and delivers a smooth, stable ride.
Protected Wheelhouse

The spacious, protected wheelhouse encompasses a fully equipped galley provides that provides luxurious comfort for five while cruising the coast and island hopping. A sliding side door at the helm station grants convenient access to the starboard side passage and front cockpit. Three large sunbathers, with a spacious bench in the bow, create a luxurious place for relaxing. On the either side of the aft cockpit, two large side gates enable easy boarding access. Perhaps one of the most extraordinary features of the Wellcraft 355 is the connection between the wheelhouse and the aft cockpit: simply open the top-hinged window and entrance door and feel the outside getting inside.
Accommodations
