Italian-American design by Garroni and Michael Peters
The Wellcraft 435, with its 1000+ hp outboard engine, adventurer's face and first-rate fittings, is the all-round boat for both experienced and aspiring adventurers. With the added bonus of being able to take the whole family aboard in luxury living conditions.
Designed by the Italian Garroni studio, in partnership with the famous American Michael Peters studio for naval structure (more than 400 designs and 30,000 boats produced), the 435 has all the hallmarks of American design. Muscle, presence and the ability to face extreme conditions in very American comfort.
Flagship of the P range erformance Cruiser she is preceded by her sister-ship the 355, which take their place alongside the 9 center console units from the brand. The boat continues on the path laid out by the 355, enhancing what has already made it a success: performance, comfort and even greater habitability. A 300-liter fuel tank and 100-liter water tank.
For Martin Meyer, the brand's product manager, the Wellcraft 435 is aimed at customers who want to experience offshore conditions in complete safety: "With its capacity to accommodate 5 people, the 435 is the ideal boat for taking off for a few days with family or friends. Its program is clearly geared towards exploration, as evidenced by customers sailing on board in muscular and changeable conditions such as New Zealand."
Be robust and have great seaworthy qualities to serenely link point A to point B
Produced in the commune of Les Herbiers in the Vendée since the brand was acquired in 2014, Wellcraft boats have the means to achieve their ambitions. Thanks to the technical know-how and production power of the Beneteau group.
But the American spirit of adventure is fully respected, because that's part of the DNA of a performance cruiser: to be robust and endowed with great seaworthy qualities to serenely get from point A to point B.
With its head-turning design, the Wellcraft is the spearhead of family exploration boats. With style and habitability to match, as we'll see below.
