Walkthrough of the 2025 Wellcraft 355 Commuter

When looking at this vessel, one thing is for sure – every feature, line, and detail was meticulously thought and carried out. This boat is definitely designed for boaters who are looking to add a bit of edge to their boating experience.

In this walkthrough of the 2025 Wellcraft 355 Commuter, we will explore some of the different areas of the boat and highlight some of the features that are worth mentioning.

Stern

Boarding onto the 2025 Wellcraft 355 Commuter is made easy with port and starboard doorways at the rear of the boat.

One of the things that you will immediately notice about the 355 Commuter is that the stern is pretty bare. This was done intentionally as this area is designed for those who like to use their boat for water sports activities. There is a very spacious feel to the area and is perfect for getting on and off the boat onto your kayak, inflatable, and more.

The deck is made from non-slip material and can be easily hosed off when you are done using your boat. You will also find a hot and cold freshwater shower here to assist in rinsing off after time in the water.

Should you want to add some seating to this area, you can easily put deck chairs here to allow you to watch the kids in the water or simply catch some sun.

At the transom, you will notice a large and tall stainless steel tower bar. This bar is perfect for attaching a rope and towing inflatables behind the boat.

The stern is a great spot to fish as there are high gunnels here that can be leaned on without feeling like you will fall overboard. These high gunnels also provide you with peace of mind as children are on board.

Safety is paramount and Wellcraft has kept that in mind as they designed this boat. In addition to the high gunnels, you will see additional safety features throughout the boat including grab rails.

Bow

The bow is going to be your entertainment and socialization area of the boat. In the bow, you will find a triple sun pad. This oversized pad is made from high-quality material and the stitching on the upholstery really makes it stand out. There are armrests for each of the sun pads and built in cup holders on the two arm rests on the ends of the sun pads.

If you want to create additional space for a guest, simply fold up the bolsters on the sun pad and you can comfortably fit four people there.

At the front of the boat, you will find a front facing bench seat that faces the loungers allowing you to converse with others on board.

Between the sun pads and the bench seat are integrated speakers, pop up lights, and drink holders making this the hub for entertainment.

Hardtop

A hardtop covers the boat and the nice thing about this hardtop is that it features the ability to fully enclose the console and helm, which we will talk about in the helm section.

At the top of the hardtop you will find two opening and closing sun roofs and one fixed sun roof to allow plenty of natural light and fresh air into the helm area.

A roof rack is attached to the top of the hardtop to allow you the opportunity to bring along your favorite toys such as mountain bikes, canoes, inflatables, and more.

There is an LED light bar and stainless steel grab rails.

Console and Helm

The helm is a special area in that it has a standout feature that boaters are going to love. There is a hinged window and sliding door that both fully open and fully close to enclose this area. You can close up the helm area at night or when it is cold out or even when you just want some privacy from the other areas. Likewise, you can open up this area when you want to let in some fresh air.

Moving into the helm from the stern, you will immediately be met with a dining area. Here, you will find a table, semi-modular furniture, and a kitchenette on the port side that includes a refrigerator and a sink.

The furniture in the helm does convert into a bed if you are looking to create overnight accommodations in addition to the interior cabin.

The helm has a captain’s and passenger chair that are both plush and include arm rests. The helm position is designed so that you can always see perfectly in front of you without any obstructions.

The intuitive helm and console area allows you to easily access all of the essential controls of your boat in one place including the installed navigation system and safety systems. A comprehensive electronics package comes installed at the console.

Overhead the helm is the hardtop, which has two sun roofs that open and close with the touch of a button. There is an additional fixed sun roof.

Interior Cabin and Head

The 2025 Wellcraft 355 Commuter does have an interior cabin that allows you to stay overnight on board, if you choose.

The cabin is located downstairs and runs north and south. The cabin is spacious, and you will find there is plenty of space to move around for two people.

Inside the cabin is a large bed. Built into the wall are cup holders that line the side of the bed.

Windows throughout allow you to enjoy beautiful views and natural light.
