The 2009 Chaparral Sunesta 244 is a 24-foot bowrider/deck boat built by Chaparral Boats, designed as a versatile family and watersports vessel. It's big enough to comfortably host friends and family but still easy to tow and handle on the water, making it ideal for day cruising, waterskiing, tubing, wakeboarding, and just enjoying time on lakes or coastal waters.
Size & CapacityLength: ~24' 4" (about 7.4 m) overall, including swim platform.
Beam: ~8' 6" (wide and stable).
Passenger Capacity: Seats up to 12-14 people (varies with layout and options).
Hull: Fiberglass modified-V hull optimized for a smooth, predictable ride.
This combination of size and layout gives the 244 Sunesta an open, inviting cockpit and plenty of room in the bow for lounging.
⚙️ Performance & EngineTypical engine options in 2009 ranged from about 231-265 hp gasoline stern drive engines.
Some examples of similar Sunesta 244 boats are powered by 5.7L-6.2L V8 engines with 270-320+ hp depending on configuration.
Deep-V hull design gives confident tracking and a dry, comfortable ride even in chop or wake.
While specific cruising and top speeds vary by engine and load, boats of this size commonly cruise comfortably in the mid-20-knot range and can reach significantly higher speeds with stronger engines.
Design & FeaturesThe Sunesta 244 blends bowrider style with some deck boat attributes - wide forward seating, easy walk-through access, and good cockpit flow for socializing.
Common features include:
Spacious cockpit with wraparound seating and flip-up bolster helm seats.
Enclosed head compartment with porta-pottie - nice for day trips with family.
Integrated swim platform with boarding ladder.
Cockpit wet bar and sink (on many boats).
Sound system, storage under seats, insulated ice boxes, and ample cupholders.
Optional extras (freshwater systems, VacuFlush head, premium stereo upgrades, wakeboard tower).
The wide bow area and comfortable cushions make it great for lounging when anchored, and the open stern with swim platform makes watersports easy and fun.
Who It's Great ForThis model is particularly suited for:
Families who want day cruising and island hopping.
Boaters who enjoy watersports (tubing, wakeboarding, skiing).
Groups who value space, comfort, and versatility in a trailerable boat.
It's generally praised for being easy to handle, roomy for its size, and capable of delivering a satisfying mix of comfort and performance - one of the reasons the Sunesta series was popular among mid-size Chaparral boats.
