CHRIS CRAFT CORSAIR 25

In the Corsair line Chris-Craft has captured an harmonious combination of nautical tradition, high style and romance, building a boat that takes us back to a time when arriving wasn’t the goal, but arriving in style, luxury and comfort was. The Chris-Craft of today does all that and more. In the Corsair 25 our test revealed that we need to add performance to the list as well.

The Corsair range is a more focused expression of Chris-Craft’s unfailing ability to combine performance, comfort and style. Based on the same hull design as the Launch product line, a Corsair is a runabout that offers excellent acceleration and agility. A covered forward deck area enhances the driver’s position as well as disguises the practical cabin. A well laid-out main deck area provides ample room for guests.
