The renowned American boat brand Wellcraft has been setting new standards for almost 70 years. Originally from Florida and made famous by the series "Miami Vice", Wellcraft offers legendary, hand-built boats.
The Wellcraft 38 T-Top offers plenty of space for people and sports equipment
With a length of 11.85 metres, the new Wellcraft 38 T-Top offers above all generous social areas and space for family and friends. According to the manufacturer, the new 38 is characterised above all by its good entertainment features. The bathing platform allows easy access to the water, while the boat has plenty of seating capacity in the bow and stern. Two high-quality and fully equipped galley modules are fitted with a barbecue and spacious fridges. Flexible, removable table configurations offer additional comfort and functionality.
Equipped with a water ski hook on the T-top and generous storage space, the Wellcraft 38 T-top is also ideal for water sports enthusiasts. In addition, the boat offers special storage spaces for fishing equipment as well as rod holders and livewells to fulfil the needs of passionate anglers. The model also has a fully equipped cabin with double bed, large separate toilet area and shower. Indirect lighting and a powerful sound system from JL Audio are also on board. The standard joystick improves manoeuvrability and enables easy handling in all conditions. Innovative special equipment such as the gyro stabilisation system powered by lithium batteries ensures greater stability without exhaust fumes.
Design by Michael Peters
The hull design was created by Michael Peters and is intended to ensure outstanding seaworthiness at high speeds. Peters also designed the Bertram 35 and several hulls for the RIB manufacturer Zodiac. The designer should therefore be familiar with sporty hulls.
Whether the boat is really as versatile as it promises remains to be seen in a detailed test. This will take place as soon as we are able to drive the boat.
