2026 Wellcraft 28 T-Top, Barracuda Fishing Edition: Built to Hunt

Offered by North Point Yacht SalesLocation: Charleston, SC | Availability: On Order, Customization Still Possible

The 2026 Wellcraft 28 T-Top represents Wellcraft's reinvention of the modern crossover center console, and this particular hull comes configured for owners who prioritize the fishing side of the equation. Ordered with the Barracuda cockpit configuration, the large fuel tank upgrade for extended range, and a fishing focused equipment package, this 28 T-Top is purpose built to chase fish offshore while still offering the comfort, design, and modern construction that make the Wellcraft 28 platform stand apart.

Built around the W.I.S.E. (Wellcraft Infujection Structural Engineering) infused hull and a stepped bottom designed in partnership with Helsinki based naval architects Navia, this boat planes fast, runs dry, and handles a chop with confidence. Pair that hull technology with twin Mercury 200 V6 FourStrokes and you have a 28 footer that's easy to own, easy to maintain, and ready for serious water.
