New Yacht Construction Expertise with Chris-Craft
Chris‑Craft’s Sarasota facility blends 150 years of American boatbuilding heritage with modern composite lamination and yacht‑grade joinery—an irresistible canvas for owners who value iconic styling and meticulous detail. Worth Avenue Yachts translates that heritage into a structured build plan: we reserve production slots early, review hull gel‑coat finishes, teak packages, and upholstery palettes before lamination, and capture every milestone—deck join, varnish cure, sea trial—in a secure build‑tracking portal. Our technical team validates power‑train options and electronics integration to match your cruising lifestyle while safeguarding resale value.
Because Chris‑Craft runs a tight production schedule, our proprietary roster of “started builds” includes Launch, Calypso, and Catalina hulls already in mold, allowing clients to accelerate delivery yet still tailor trim, propulsion, and entertainment systems. From contract to christening, Worth Avenue Yachts provides insider access, independent quality audits, and seamless after‑sales coordination through Chris‑Craft’s global dealer network. The result is a new Chris‑Craft delivered on time, on budget, and finished to the exacting standards that have defined the brand since 1874.
