Chris-Craft will be bringing a brand new Chris-Craft Catalina 28 to the 2023 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show to fill the gap between its 24 and 30 models...


Think of it as evolution, not so much revolution. Florida-based Chris-Craft has taken the oh-so-successful formula for its much-loved Catalina center console line-up of 24, 30 and 34-foot models, and used it to pop-out a new Chris-Craft Catalina 28.

Chris-Craft will be bringing a brand new Chris-Craft Catalina 28 to the 2023 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show to fill the gap between its 24 and 30 models...

Think of it as evolution, not so much revolution. Florida-based Chris-Craft has taken the oh-so-successful formula for its much-loved Catalina center console line-up of 24, 30 and 34-foot models, and used it to pop-out a new Chris-Craft Catalina 28.


Debuting at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, this new 28fter is arguably the most-appealing size for day-boaters looking for a fun day out on the water with friends and family. We’re counting co*fy seating for at least 12, and as many cupholders.


While it’s a new hull design, those Chris-Craft design cues, like the signature Carolina Flare bow, gorgeous reverse transom, and smooth-riding bottom, are all there. And with the beam now stretched to a generous 9ft 1in, there’s extra room to walk around.

            data-loaded="false"
            class="jwplayer"
            id="jwplayer_7yuWqNL0_cteUg0KF_58_div">
         

      

   


Of course, for fisher-folk there’s a fold-up aft bench seat, a plethora of rod holders, and a hull-side door for hauling in that 400lb grouper. You can even opt for a new-design reversible helm seat to watch all the action at the stern.


As with any good center console, there’s a hardtop over the helm, though Chris-Craft manages to add plenty of style with its lid. At the back, you can opt for a SureShade to cover the cockpit.

                        17 of the best new boats at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show
                   


               

               

                   


                       
                   


                                   

           

           



Standard power is a pair of 225hp Mercury Verado outboards, with the option of 300hp versions. Top speed with the 225s is 48 knots, with a 52-knot max from the 300s. To smooth-out the ride, transom-mounted Seakeeper Ride auto-leveling trim tabs are standard. To ensure no margaritas are spil*ed while at anchor, you can add a Seakeeper 1 gyroscopic stabiliser.


Of course what hasn’t changed is Chris-Craft’s single-minded focus on quality and craftsmanship. This new Chris-Craft Catalina 28 is all diamond-quilted upholstery, teak accents, stainless fittings and mile-deep paintwork that’s available in a choice of 12 colors. That wooden steering wheel wouldn’t look out of place on a vintage Ferrari.
