Chris Craft Celebrates 150 Years

Crafted with the same passion and dedication as they were 150 years ago. Chris-Craft boats continue to speak to boat enthusiasts everywhere. Whether it's an open bow ideal for socializing, or a large cruiser with a cabin for extended excursions, every inch of every boat we build is carefully considered. Since the beginning, Christopher Smith crafted the boats that dreams are made of. Chris-Craft boats became the cultural icons that gave people a new freedom to explore the clear waters of local lakes and distant shores. And they were built with the values and benefits that defined our country and our way of life. More than any other brand, they were responsible for America's romance with boats - and ultimately, for redefining boating pleasure for generations of people everywhere.
