£618,000 Yacht Tour and Sea Trial : Chris Craft 35 Launch GT

Thanks to this channel catching my attention a few years ago, I went from no interest in boating to getting my licence, a 3m sib and now a beautiful jenneau nc11!

What a great demonstration of precision handling in tight spaces.That boat will paint a smile on anyone's face.

That's a really nice day boat, but the price is outrageous. Thank you for bringing this to us. Seems boat prices are way up from where they were a couple years ago, like everything else.

[@bobbrezniak6386]

I had a 1974 Chris Craft 350 Catalina....the first year the made a fiberglass hull. My goodness what a boat....she commanded attention all over the lake.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick and Marianne, That is a great show Nick with this very nice Chris Craft 35 Launch GT what a speed nachine over 33 nots and the great sound of those engins A nice day boat this Chris Craft with a little bathroom and sleeping space but the americans with there cup holders everywhere on the side hidden in de settee on boats, motorhomes Thanks again Nick, Marianne thats is a great show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@mcdaid..]

Hullo, my wife Kelly loved your site, watched it every day, or rather every post, she passed in feb, this Yr. But can I just say thankyou for posts past and present, we never owned our own boat , but did Norfolk broads posh hire boats 7 times over yrs , she also was on all the fishing boats I worked out of plymouth over 10 yrs that was a good few, I am sure she is now glued to your channel and telling me oh jock I love this one. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm so sorry to hear that.

[@stephenmurray9850]

The windscreen worked really well , even with Nick standing at the helm at 30 knots, there was not a hair out of place. Well designed, lovely boat , thanks for the video Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@itsallgonemad]

Never seen a bad Chris Craft boat, the attention to detail is insane… but mind you, they cannot be considered ’cheap’! Gorgeous though! 😍

[@r.a.monigold9789]

It's automatic - I hear Chris Craft and I think Christopher Craft and his song "Sailing". But this is NOT that. The owners of this fine craft (aka Chris Craft) will never have a hankering to visit an amusement park again. This is a thrill ride with plush, cushioned seating. A place where the World of woes no longer influences your days aboard. Such FUN. So well made and appointed. Thanks for sharing and for the ride. BTW - Marianne was a pleasant bonus

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@penguins9645]

Beautiful video with a beautiful boat. Only boating I've ever done is paddling a metal canoe as a child, yet found this whole video an enjoyable watch.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@treborretsnom6186]

I was just thinking, it's been awhile since I've seen a chris-craft, I usually think of the all wood classics... I'm glad to see that they are as sharp as ever... Beautiful and top shelf

[@keithianlocke]

I love that Chris Craft have retained their love of 1950s American car styling in the consoles. I've pondered on a wooden Chris Craft with 1950s corvette style console for a tender/shore boat.... if I ever get the chance to need one.

[@jaimiemadden590]

Chris Craft, very nice 35 footer, Washroom and Cabin are a nice touch and will make day journeys comfortable Thank you Nick for the tour

Quality, not quantity. Chris-Craft are one of the finest manufacturers in the world, have been at it for a very long time, and they stand behind their products. Looks like a really fun ride - thanks for taking us along!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@oneslackr]

Thank you Nick & Marianne. It seems like a very nice Chris Craft. I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind owning one. It's nice to see that they are still building high quality boats.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@davidgottfried3297]

As an American, I am so proud of this beautiful boat. My grandfather owned a Chris Craft on the Detroit River in the 1960s-70s.

[@bwatson7586]

I love the 31 Launch GT and it would be fantastic if it was designed as a Cuddy Cabin like the Christ Craft Corsair

[@laurirobinson8346]

My dad used to build Chris Craft boats. I miss him.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Now this is the very definition of a "Tardis" ship.I was thinking I'd use that cabin as a 'day-heads',and then you showed us the restroom.Wow.All the nifty hidden features really make this a Great day boat for a family.Well done Chris Craft ! Thank you Nick,Marianne,Giuliano,and the rest for demonstrating this amazing ship.(If it had 2nd gear,this would run as a 'hydrofoil' too.Just skimming the water at 50)

[@jimrodda]

A really nice boat but £618.000 wow that's a lot of money for a day boat, but great to see Nick in his element at the helm 👍

[@richardscotney4827]

That helm!! Those dials!! That’s how to retro in style 😎

[@steve-marsh]

The quality is exquisite but I still thought the price was a typo! Great review Nick, I'd love a wee spin on one of those!

These look like they've also got superyacht chase boat customers in mind. Cool boat!

[@robinwood5390]

Must say how I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Regrettable never been in to boating, but currently on holiday in my favourite place, Empuriabrava Spain. Watching the boats/yachts from the end of the jetty, coming in and out of the marina, pure delight.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You should try it 🙂

With this Nick MA could go waterskiing or wake boarding down the River Dart. Even outrun the local water police as they try & stop you for speeding. Yahoo! Nice boat as Cris Craft has been building water craft of various sizes in the US for many years. 👍🇨🇦🙏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's a thought..! 😄

[@Sarrienne]

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, the very *instant* I clocked that port side hatch and figured it'd be a day heads, I was itching to find out if you'd manage to include The Wave™, Nick... and I'm utterly thrilled that you managed to get one in!! Now you've no excuse for future videos, heh heh!! I really do like the aesthetics of this one. The styling looks very Star Trek Next Gen, with a bit of a late 80s, early 90s feel. I'm also quite taken with the little cabin - Looks like there's a TV in there and everything. I would possibly use this for a solo weekender, although I'm torn between this and their 35 Calypso... Which do you reckon wins between the two?

[@andyraven9855]

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but if you had that type of money to spend on a day boat that's at the top end of the luxury market , what more could you want but this gorgeous Chris Craft, stunningly looking and practically layed out,very very nice,but none the less only for those with plenty of disposable money,but hey ho you can't take it away from the design and craft put into this boat. On a different note wasn't that Princess looking beautiful with that stunning blue colour 🤗👌🖖

Everything you need for a fun day out on the water. In style. But what I'm really waiting for is your review of that cruise ship. Might take a while to open all that storage...

Yikes! My uncle had a Chris craft in the 70s. They were just "normal" boats then, not the equivalent of buying a house for a nice little speedboat. There's half a million in pure markup!

Fantastic boat Nick with great design and finish 👍

[@pootmahgoots8482]

I would love to see one of these with a pair of Indmar Raptor 575 engines. That would probably be the cherry on top to make this boat perfect in my eyes. Volvo is great and all but I'd personally like to see an American engine brand in an American made boat.

[@kevinspiller6917]

Note the Highfield fender on the port side quarter!😂

[@jeffpierce3436]

Nick, I will say that it’s nice to see those cruise ships back in use and not anchored, useless and empty like they were a couple years ago when you did that vid!! Are we back to normal? 🤷‍♂️

[@mattwolters7030]

You are very good about wearing life preservers when on your own boat. Curious why you don't take the same precautions on trips like this. Does it have anything to do with the size of the boat? Is there any noticeable difference in performance between these petrol engines and Diesel engines? Love your videos, and this is a particularly beautiful boat. The helm reminds me of a luxury automobile's interior.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Bigger boat, not crewing it plus no danger of cold water shock in the Med. 🙂

[@mytube001]

Very American boat! Really well planned for a boat of its type.

Thank you! Please find me below in the cabin with no windows whilst you are navigating those waters at 30 knots. 🤣 How is it that neither you or Marianne are wearing life vests but you wear them on Smugglers ❓🤔

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Because it's pretty hard to fall out of a 35ft boat, especially as we're not crewing it (so not out on side decks or putting anchor down or whatever) and most of all, the water in the Med is warm so there isn't the paralysing cold water shock issue of the UK.

[@FLGurl]

@@FLGurl Not in the slightest 🙂

[@paulbearman4653]

Awesome, thanks for thee fix. Did you need a kill cord?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Nope, it's a heavy 35ft boat, you'd have to try very very hard to fall out of it. 🙂

[@flacjacket]

Chris Crafts are beautiful, top shelf quality boats, comparable to things like Formulas and Princesses rather than the bargain brands people will inevitably compare the prices to. Quality is the one thing that doesnt really convey well on video.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Totally agree 🙂

[@flacjacket]

@@AQUAHOLIC oh Nick, speaking of Formulas you should try to get aboard a Formula 430 or 500 SSC, I think they may be the best day boats on the market for those with deep pockets, you gotta get a sea trial though, they are extremely fast and have notably excellent sea keeping and maneuverability.
