New product : Chris-Craft to debut new Capri 21 at Cannes Boat Show

Chris-Craft brings to the Cannes Boat Show an entirely new version of luxury, in only twenty-one feet.  The Capri 21 embraces design cues from the brand's original DNA and harks back to the Chris-Craft vertical bow models of the 1930's. This new runabout is built with a "vertical bow" profile, complete with stainless steel bow plate, and it also carries the classic sloped tumblehome that has become a signature of Chris-Craft design.  This year's showboat will also sport a new graphite metallic paint color that is now available in the Chris-Craft line-up. Stephen Julius, Chris-Craft Chairman, stated: "The Capri 21 speaks to the past but the design appeal is forward thinking and unmistakably Chris-Craft." The Capri 21 is the first boat to have the new 2014 cockpit with new seats, fabric and diamond pattern upholstery harking back to a bygone era.

The Capri 21 is the second of two vertical bow boats that Chris-Craft has produced this year.  The first model was the bowrider Carina 21 which was presented at the 2013 Miami Boat Show.

Also making its debut at the 2013 Cannes Boat Show is the Launch 32. The Launch 32 offers a spacious aft sunpad, sleep-in cabin and convenient head to accommodate all the comforts that your family and guests deserve. Sleek proportions and practical configuration make this Launch well-suited for long excursions but still remains practical for champagne cruises.

See the all new Capri 21, Corsair 32, Corsair 28, and the Launch 32 starting September 10-15 at booth PAN 121.
