"Take a look at this classic 48-foot Chris-Craft Convertible-a yacht that represents the golden era of American sportfishing and cruising. Built in 1988, she combines timeless lines, a spacious layout, and the solid construction that made Chris-Craft famous.
At 48 feet, this boat offers an exceptional balance of offshore capability and onboard comfort. The large cockpit provides plenty of room for fishing, entertaining, or simply enjoying a day on the water. The elevated flybridge delivers excellent visibility for docking, cruising, and navigating offshore.
Inside, you'll find a generous salon with the warm, classic styling that yacht enthusiasts appreciate. The layout is designed for extended cruising, featuring comfortable accommodations, a full galley, and private staterooms that make weekends-or even weeks-aboard enjoyable for family and guests.
One of the biggest advantages of this vessel is her proven hull design. These boats were built to handle rough water confidently while maintaining a smooth ride, making them equally at home as a sportfisherman, coastal cruiser, or liveaboard.
For buyers who appreciate classic craftsmanship, substantial construction, and the prestige of the Chris-Craft name, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. Modern yachts often cost several times as much, yet few offer the same combination of character, space, and proven seaworthiness.
Whether you're looking for a serious fishing platform, a comfortable cruising yacht, or a classic vessel with enduring appeal, this 48-foot Chris-Craft Convertible deserves your attention. She's a boat that turns heads in the marina and delivers confidence when it's time to leave the dock.
If you're ready to step into a true classic, let's schedule a viewing and see everything this yacht has to offer."
