Chris-Craft has unveiled its new Launch 27 at the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show.
The Launch 27 was introduced more than 25 years ago and has been one of the most popular models in the Chris-Craft portfolio.
The newly redesigned model incorporates richer materials, enhanced comfort, and advanced technology.
“The Launch 27 has long been an iconic model in the Chris-Craft portfolio, and we set out to thoughtfully reimagine the boat — building upon its timeless foundation of classic elegance, design excellence, and exceptional craftsmanship,” said Ron Berman, engineering lead at Chris-Craft.
“Our goal was to seamlessly integrate the latest marine technologies to elevate performance, comfort and the overall on-water experience.”
