Wellcraft 435, a 13 m "Performance Cruiser" powered by over 1000 hp

Announced several months ago by the shipyard, the Wellcraft 435 will be presented in September 2023 at Cannes. Based on the design of its little brother, the 355, the Wellcraft 435 offers even greater comfort and speed, with more than 1,000 horsepower expected to take her past 50 knots.

A boat built for adventure

After the successful launch of Wellcraft 355 , whose test we presented to you at Cannes, the Bénéteau Group's American brand will present its big brother. With a length of 13.40 m, the Wellcraft 435 is the largest model in the Performance Cruiser range, introduced in September 2022. This robust, all-weather boat was designed by Italian studio Garroni and naval architect Michael Peters.

User-friendly, accessible outdoor spaces

The Wellcraft 435 has a high bulwark and a side door on the starboard side for maneuvering, making it easy and safe to move around on board. The foredeck features two large living areas, with a three-seat sundeck, a bow bench seat and a dining table. At the stern, long bathing skirts frame the motorization, while the back of the bulwarks unfolds to create a terrace overlooking the sea. The cockpit features an L-shaped bench seat, a facing seat and a grill with ice maker.
