General Description

The Constellation, affectionately called "Connies" by their loyal owners, was perhaps the most sought-after yacht of her time. Well built, fast, rugged and seaworthy, they were the flagships of the Chris Craft corporation. This 55' motor yacht is definitely the nicest Constellation on the West Coast. Her mahogany interior, teak and holly floors are beautifully finished throughout and is tastefully quiet and simple yet offers the ultimate in comfortable living afloat. With a lenght of 55', a beam of 14'6", and with over 6' of headroom she has plenty of space to relax and roam around. Her hard chine and a long keel below reduces the rolling of this great cruiser and in addition, with a six-foot freeboard she offers excellent protection and safety in rough seas. With her three cabins and three heads, a very spacious lounge deck, this motor yacht is equipped for entertaining and long range coastal cruising in comfort and style.
This vessel has been seriousely upgraded over the last two years and includes ALL furniture, fixtures, art work, Mikasa China, glassware, spare parts, and more. Bring your clothes, some food and good friends and you are ready to go.
