Following the successful launch of three new boats last year, Chris-Craft will be attending the 2013 Miami International Boat Show with a completely new 20-foot Carina 20 yacht tender on display. The all-new 2013 Carina 20 boat incorporates design cues from the Chris-Craft vertical bows of the 1920s as well as the brand’s original DNA.
The Carina 20 superyacht tender is a new runabout, built with a vertical bow profile complete with stainless steel bow plate. It also carries the classic reverse transom that has become a signature of Chris-Craft design.
This year’s showboat will also sport a range of new features including an all new frameless windshield, a new graphite metallic paint color, a new diamond patterned fabric upholstery and custom deck hardware exclusive to this new boat. Steve Heese, Chris-Craft President, said: “The Carina 20 speaks to the past but the design appeal is forward thinking and unmistakably Chris-Craft.”
The Carina 20 yacht tender, whose official name was recently announced on Boating Magazine’s Facebook page to much fanfare, will be the first of two vertical bow boats that Chris-Craft will produce this year. The next edition vertical bow series will debut in the summer of 2013 and will have a closed-deck.
Also making their North American debut at the Miami International Boat Show this year, are the new 2013 Corsair 32 yacht tender, and the new 2013 Corsair 36 Hard Top superyacht tender in booth D-24.
