1995 Wellcraft 236 Eclipse

The 236 Eclipse is all about stretching out the day on the water. That deep, secure cockpit gives friends and family plenty of room to settle in, while the wraparound windshield keeps the wind off your crew when you open up the throttle. Wellcraft’s hull from this era is noticeably solid, with a sharp entry that softens chop and carries its beam far enough aft for a stable, predictable ride. The cuddy offers dry storage for gear plus a spot to duck out of the sun or weather. Wide side decks and sturdy handholds make moving forward feel secure, and the integrated swim platform with ladder turns every cove stop into easy in-and-out swim time.

This 236 Eclipse shines in waters where conditions can change from glassy calm to afternoon chop. Its deep-V hull delivers a confident ride when wind lines pick up, yet it’s still shallow-draft enough to nose into quiet coves and sandbars. The cuddy cabin is ideal when weather shifts or when you want a private place to change and stow bags, tackle, or tow toys. With generous cockpit seating, it works equally well for long shoreline cruises, tubing runs, or anchoring out with friends. The size hits a sweet spot: big enough to feel secure offshore, but manageable for trailering and storage between outings.
