The new Catalina 24 from Chris-Craft debuted last week at the 2021 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, turning heads with its classic, sleek Chris-Craft design and modern functionality. At 24 feet, the center console provides more functionality and sophistication than any in its class, while maintaining that unique Chris-Craft beauty. Classic Chris-Craft design elements like the tumblehome transom, deep-V hull and Carolina flare bow are evident on the 24, while new updates and technology make it more functional than ever.
The pilothouse center console houses the head, integrated hooks for storage and dedicated racks for an optional sunshade. A windless in the forward bow is optional, while raised gunnels at the bow provide a smoother ride and comfortable seating for passengers. Cup holders, speakers, USB ports and an optional teak table in the bow serve as nice conveniences for a day on the water, and state-of-the-art electronics at the helm include a 12-inch Garmin display, Fusion Apollo head unit and Mercury Vessel View for top performance and drivability.
A patent-pending reversible helm seat uniquely designed for the Catalina 24 provides optimal captain’s visibility when raised in the forward position, or can be converted to face aft for comfortable social seating. The seat also includes storage and a 65-gallon Yeti cooler below. An extended transom, side boarding door and custom upholstery complete the striking design and functionality of the Catalina 24, with the addition of an insulated portside transom compartment that can easily be fitted to serve as a livewell.
