Wellcraft 355 Yacht Test Drive, Tour & Review | YachtBuyer

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Wellcraft 355 is a near 1,000hp super commuter and the first in an all-new model range for this famous American brand.
In this in-depth video review and sea trial, Jack Haines gets behind the helm of the 355 to put its 45-knot performance to the test and gives you a full walkthrough tour of its deck spaces and interior.
On board, there is a convertible double berth in the bright, spacious wheelhouse and a double cabin with separate head on the lower deck.
On deck, there is a choice between an open aft deck, wet bar or three-person bench and a very comfortable triple sun lounger arrangement on the foredeck.

    I looked at this beast at this years Düsseldorf show. Fantastic boat and great design touches. I was expecting mass market quality (given the brands owner), but it surprised me. Only thing is it’s price tag, for only one cabin, there are other options for the price that have more berth space.

    Nice boat and you always make a good video , does it really need 3 motors , when one could have 2 x 450 hp Mercury ,would be nice to see a test on that set up and Sharrow props , Heavier and seems well built than some of the other stepped hull ideas . Not so much hollow noise through the hull . Best of luck on your new venture and will keep watching . The wife might cringe when I say it is your turn ££ to fill our boat up . Still she might get her Nectar points and be HAPPY ? My type of boat these days .

    Great video and a nice boat but quite a lot different to the Axopars. It looks far more beamy. The Axopars are like an arrow slicing effortlessly through the water. The Axopars also have full depth walk-around decks.

    Thanks for a terrific video and review. I had high hopes for the Wellcraft 355 but I was disappointed by the helm. I am quite tall and I found the view forward too limited when standing due to the downsloping roof with resulting smallish forward windshield. Also the helm seat is pushed hard to the starboard wall and the headliner was no more than 1" or so from the right side of my head when seated. It felt uncomfortably close and I foresaw head knocks when barreling through rough seas. But the 355 has a lot to like.

    In the Uk £160 an hour at cruising speeds? 30 knots, nip over to Cherboug from the Solent and back. £700 ish? Now, in my old Contessa , ok it takes 11 hours but! I'd save around £650, much more if the wind is blowing. Now lets say that I can buy a decent bottle of wine in Cherbourg at £8? £700 diveded by 8 = 87.5 bottles of wine. Bettter still a nice dinner in Omonville and croque monsieur for breakfast and only save £550. Maybe I am just getting old. A power boat for sure some day but with a range a fuel consumption that gets me places. Love the video and thankfully we are not all the same😀

    Loving your new channel Jack, and I really hate to put in a criticism at this early stage but the background music in these videos is a catastrophe - really cheapens everything. But I love your reviewing style and wish you all the best with the channel.

    Cool boat, but hard pass. I don't understand how Beneteau group's power boats command the price they do. If this is made like the rest of the BeneJeaneauteau offerings, which is to say interior materials that look, feel, function and smell like cheap Indiana Warren Buffet specials, this boat should not be north of $500k in the US. At that price you're passing on Targa, Sargo, Nimbus, Galeon, etc... And that is absolutely insane.
