Capri 25 or the art and way of sailing with elegance

Chris Craft's Capri 25 © Bateaux.com

The Capri 25 was presented at the Nautic in Paris, after its world presentation at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2015. This elegant day cruiser with a classic retro look can be used as a superyacht tender or as a pleasure boat.

The Capri 25 is the second model in the Capri range with a vertical bow, and follows the Capri 21 (6.45m), which was presented at Cannes in 2013. Taking the lines of its little brother, it has the characteristic lines of the 1930s models, with its V-shaped hull and vertical bow. This natural inclination is Chris Craft's signature.

Under the large teak foredeck is a small cabin with a berth, which is accessed through a central door, which also acts as a step, to get to the deck. The windshield then opens to allow access.

The cockpit is larger than on the 21, there are folding teak tables on each side. The cockpit on the starboard side is equipped with a wheel steering and a dashboard reminiscent of old motorboats.

At the rear is a 3-seater bench seat, in which the port seat withdraws to make way for a teak step to enter the boat. The bimini hides under the rear seat, under the engine hatch.

Finally, behind the bench there is a large sunbathing area with handrails for added safety. A bathing platform facilitates access to the sea.

Another new feature, found only on this model, among all those in the range, the Capri 25 has been designed with a port passage to facilitate entry into the cockpit. It thus retains the aesthetic side of the brand while becoming more practical.

The Capri 25 is equipped with a Volvo V8 300 HP inboard engine. It can be customized as an option, with the possibility of choosing the color of the shell, the upholstery or the teak.

Ultra-design, this day-cruiser attracts the eye with its retro lines and its blend of material and colour, as seen on the deck: cream polyester and teak deck.
