A striking and enjoyable addition to any investment portfolio. Yet even we will admit that our construction process is simply a means to an end: a beautiful wooden vessel, able to withstand season after season of thrilling performance. More craftsmanship and attention to detail per running foot than virtually any other watercraft made today. Labor intensive from bow to stern, each Grand-Craft requires thousands of hours a month or longer just in the finishing room. Still others insist on enjoying the best this world has to offer. Others prefer original art to carbon copy, hand craftsmanship to cookie cutter form, and the warmth and pattern of wood to the distant feel of molded plastic. Why Grand-Craft? Many clients recall summers “at the lake” with the thrill of grandad’s boat climbing up on plane. Since 1979, Grand-Craft has carried on the tradition of crafting one runabout at a time, be it destined for the narrow channels of Venice, the turquoise seas of the Caribbean or a variety of inland lakes and salt waters where discriminating boaters enjoy their leisure time. Such is the heritage of Grand-Craft, a company committed to preserving the first class design, craftsmanship and quality of such legendary names as Chris-Craft.
