CHRIS CRAFT BOATS

For more than 150 years, Chris-Craft Boats have set the standard for timeless luxury, craftsmanship, and performance on the water. The story began in 1874, when a 13 year old Christopher Columbus Smith built his first skiff in Algonac, Michigan, laying the foundation for what would become one of the most iconic luxury boat brands in American history.

Today, Chris-Craft continues that legacy from its headquarters in Sarasota, Florida, building luxury powerboats and yachts that blend classic design with modern innovation. Every Chris-Craft is created with the mission of producing nautical art, boats that deliver an unmatched boating experience through refined styling, premium materials, and confident performance.

Chris-Craft has represented the very best of American boat building, earning a reputation for timeless luxury, craftsmanship, and durability. Proudly built in the United States, the brand has deep historical roots and a legacy that extends beyond recreational boating. During World War II, Chris-Craft played a vital role in supporting the country by producing more than 12,000 military vessels for the U.S. Navy and Army, including patrol boats, rescue vessels, and the landing craft used during D-Day. This history of resilience, innovation, and pride continues to shape every Chris-Craft built today, reinforcing the brand’s standing as one of the most trusted and enduring luxury boat manufacturers in the world.
