Tradition Meets Innovation
Chris-Craft is America’s oldest premium boat builder. Known worldwide for a meticulous attention to detail, Chris-Craft boats are made to order with stunning teak wood features, fully equipped kitchens, spacious sleeping berths, and an open bow ideal for socializing. The upholstery is fade, tear, stain, and puncture resistant and made from the highest-quality soft, luxurious vinyl and fabrics in a broad selection of solid or two-tone color options. Making fewer than 400 boats yearly, Chris-Craft customers are looking for something special—classic design and comfort matched with modern engineering and technology. The deep-V hull is engineered for extreme stability, dynamic performance, and a dryer ride.
Exceptional Craftsmanship and Quality Control
Each Chris-Craft boat undergoes a rigorous inspection and quality review, including an on-site pond test to ensure all systems function perfectly before leaving the factory. This meticulous approach to quality assurance is a defining hallmark, reinforcing the brand’s legacy of reliability and high standards in boat building.
Luxurious Custom Upholstery
Chris-Craft’s boats feature premium marine vinyl upholstery known for its durability and elegance. Custom options include distinctive stitching, high-density foam, and antimicrobial treatments, with colors and designs chosen to prevent fading and wear. Examples like the Calypso 32 offer luxurious, durable seating perfect for day trips or extended cruises.
Tumblehome Hull Design
A unique aesthetic feature of Chris-Craft boats, the tumblehome hull design adds stability and a timeless look that harkens back to classic boat-building eras. This design not only enhances visual appeal but also contributes to smoother, more stable rides across models like the Catalina 24 and Launch GT
Advanced Marine Technology
Chris-Craft boats are equipped with cutting-edge technology, including Garmin multifunction displays and Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) by Seakeeper on select models. These technologies improve stability, navigation, and user experience, with features such as joystick controls and Bluetooth-enabled audio systems being standard on models like the Catalina 24
Custom Models & Trim Options
Customers can choose from a wide range of configurations, including center console, dual console, and open-bow models, each tailored for specific boating activities. The Calypso and Catalina series, for instance, come in Heritage Editions with full teak details for those seeking a traditional aesthetic, while the Launch GT series offers customizable layouts for versatility
High-Quality, Durable Materials
Chris-Craft boats are built with premium materials, from hand-laid fiberglass to stainless steel hardware and synthetic or real teak for flooring and accents. This focus on quality materials extends to the swim platforms, cabinetry, and hull finishes, ensuring each vessel is as durable as it is beautiful. The Catalina 24, for example, includes stainless steel accents and a seamless fiberglass hull for enhanced durability and aesthetics
