Boating: Chris-Craft - Still Crafting Our Favorites

By Coastal Lifestyle
Published September 25, 2024

Few boats seen on the water nowadays induce the unmistakable emotions of nostalgia, heritage and patriotism. One of those boats in production today is the Chris-Craft Launch 27. Coming in at an overall length of 26 feet 8 inches and a beam of 8 feet 6 inches, this iconic vessel is a statement of beauty. 

Like the other models built by the Chris-Craft of today, the Launch 27 is a salute to the brand’s history and heritage of what was once the largest producer of mahogany runabouts in the world. Its deep-v hull, tumblehome transom and timeless styling harkens back to the Chris-Craft of yesteryear, while also incorporating all the modern technology and amenities boaters these days expect. 

Blending luxury and practicality, this 27-foot bowrider offers the ideal combination of classic styling and modern amenities, catering to those who appreciate sophistication and functionality on the water. Step aboard, and you’re met with premium materials and a thoughtful layout designed for comfort. The generous seating arrangement provides ample space for up to 10 passengers, making it perfect for family outings or entertaining guests. The open bow offers a cozy lounging area, while the wraparound cockpit seating with luxurious upholstery exudes class. Chris-Craft’s attention to detail is unmistakable, from the hand-stitched upholstery to the hand-laid touches of genuine teak. 

Chris-Craft buyers have the opportunity for the ultimate customization experience.  Choose from one of their beautiful hull-side paint options, or even pick one that is unique to you. Interior upholstery options abound, allowing you to choose every detail down to the color of the stitching. 

The Chris-Craft Launch 27 can be configured with either a Volvo Penta or MerCruiser engine, and power ranges from 300 to 430 horsepower. Equipped with the most powerful engine, the Launch 27 can reach speeds of nearly 60 miles per hour. 

2024 marks 150 years of the world-renowned Chris-Craft brand. Available for this year only, the company is offering a special 150th Anniversary Edition Package for each model in their lineup, featuring a limited edition exterior paint scheme in Silver Bullet and Aquamarine, and the interior featuring Aquamarine color-contrast stitching.
