CHRIS-CRAFT LAUNCH 36 NAMED BOAT OF THE YEAR

Chris-Craft Launch 36

Chris-Craft is pleased to announce the newly released Launch 36 has been named Boat of the Year by Boating Magazine.

To qualify for Boat of the Year, the boat must be tested by a member of the Boating Tech Team and exceed industry standards. According to Boating’s latest issue, the Launch 36 advances the sport of boating. We are honoured to have the Launch 36 recognized by Boating Magazine as the Boat of the Year for 2014.

Released at the Miami International Boat Show, the Launch 36 is the largest addition to the Launch line-up for Chris-Craft. The Launch 36 is primarily a large day boat, with overnight facilities, designed for having fun on the water, with a range of toys and water sports for family and friends. The new model is designed with a full walk around deck to access the forward seating and a full sized bow sun bed. As you make your way to the aft cockpit, owners can enjoy a full open air galley, and large U-shaped seat, with a large retractable table that easily converts to a second, large aft sun bed. Below deck, there are berths for five people, a full sized head and a separate shower.

The new model is equipped with built-in storage for a variety of sports equipment such as snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, fishing, bicycling, wakeboarding, and tubing.

“This is the boat I have always wanted to build for my family. People have lost sight of what it means to play on the water and this boat is really a toy boat for all” commented Stephen Julius, Chairman of Chris-Craft Corporation.
