 *The Capri 27 formerly known as the Capri 25*

Sarasota, FL - January 22nd, 2015  - Chris-Craft is excited to announce the Capri 27 as a new model to its 2016 line-up. The Capri 27 will make its inaugural worldwide debut at the 2015 Cannes Yachting Festival with a press conference Wednesday, September 9th at 11:00am.

The Capri 27 is the second member of the Capri "Vertical Bow" family, following on from the Capri 21 which was introduced at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2013. Similar to its younger sister, the Capri 27 embraces design cues from the brand's original DNA and harks back to the Chris-Craft vertical bow models of the 1930's. The classic sloped tumblehome has become a signature of Chris-Craft design.

A few features on the boat include a newly designed dash along with a cabin below equipped with a head. The new Capri 27 boasts a larger cockpit with foldout teak tables on each side of the cockpit for entertaining. New entirely to the Chris-Craft range, the Capri 27 is equipped with a portside hydraulic walkthrough for easy boarding onto the boat into the cockpit. This has allowed the boat to remain aesthetically Chris-Craft while also making it more practical.

The Catalina 34 is also making its international debut for the first time outside of North America. The Catalina 34 is the newest flagship and largest model in the Catalina family of center console boats for Chris-Craft. The combination of power, comfort, and Chris-Craft styling on the new Catalina 34 make this boat a one of a kind on the water.

Other models appearing at the Cannes Yachting Festival for Chris-Craft include the Corsair 34, Launch 34, and popular Launch 38. Please join us for a press conference followed by personal walkthroughs of the new models with Chris-Craft Chairman Stephen Julius. Test drives will be available by appointment only.
