Commanding a Presence

The Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT & Calypso 35

By Chris-Craft

The largest models in ChrisCraft’s 2022 lineup stand at 35 feet overall. Across two model lines, the Calypso 35 and Launch 35 GT are nothing less than works of art. These two models are both stylish and functional, offering amenities for just about anything you’d like to do on the water.

THE CALYPSO 35

As the latest addition to the Chris-Craft model offering, the Calypso 35 commands a presence wherever she goes. Her 11’ beam provides an exceptionally spacious layout, and also puts her in the Yacht Certified category in regard to passenger capacity.

The fully enclosed windshield with a power actuated center walk-through and pocket sliding wind door allows for a completely climate-controlled cockpit with available air conditioning and heat. When the windshield opens, it encloses into the hard top, creating unobstructed views through both the captain and passenger sides. An internally mounted SureShade covers the entire aft cockpit when deployed. The expansive bow area with quilted side pockets has abundant storage, including a dedicated fender rack and line hangers. A power actuated table rises out of the floor at the push of a button, creating a convenient dining area and social zone.

The cockpit offers room for plenty with a multi-position rear facing lounge, foldout aft seating with high seat backs, and large twin helm seats with fold down armrests embellished in stainless steel. The cockpit galley is equipped with a concealed refrigerator, storage, sink with hot and cold water, and an optional grill. On the port side of this dual console, there is a spacious head and shower, and to starboard, a comfortable cabin with two storage lockers, shelf storage and a built-in TV - allowing for anything from a cocktail cruise to a full weekend getaway.

At the helm, ebony walnut accents frame the flush mounted dual 12” Garmin multifunction displays. Joystick steering and

docking controls, along with an optional bow thruster, make this seaworthy yacht easy to maneuver. The optional Seakeeper Gyro Stabilizer ensures a smooth ride in rougher seas.

The innovative features and classic design of the Calypso 35 make for a boat that is versatile and functional. Whether you’re spending the day or night, the possibilities aboard the Calypso 35 are endless.

THE LAUNCH 35 GT

A defining characteristic of the Launch GT series is the ability to customize many options beginning with your selection of either Sterndrive or Outboard propulsion, depending on your boating preferences. Additional features aboard the Launch GT line include a walk-through transom, starboard side boarding door and multiple top options to choose from.

The Launch 35 GT is capable of serving as a cocktail cruiser for entertaining or as a means to escape on your weekend getaway. Just forward of the helm, an air-conditioned berth with closet, storage and television adds to the vessel’s immense functionality. To the port is a large head featuring a Tecma porcelain system with dockside pump out, vessel sink, built-in hardware, storage and plenty of headroom.

At the helm, a Brazilian varnished mahogany steering wheel with wrapped leather is the focal point that it is hard to take your eyes off of. A fully integrated helm with twin 10” Garmin displays come standard, allowing you to easily control and adjust all systems onboard. Upgrade to helm air conditioning vents to create a cool space on those hot summer days.

The owner has the option of a painted hardtop with a SureShade that extends with the push of a button. With the option of boarding the boat through the dive-door or walk-through transom, you'll find a large rear sun pad, another distinguishing feature of the Launch GT line. Varnished mahogany accents can be found throughout the boat displaying Chris-Craft’s strong devotion to craftsmanship.

As with all Chris-Crafts, the Launch 35 GT can be customized by you to reflect your personal style and preferences. Every Chris-Craft has a classic touch of teak and mahogany, but you may choose to upgrade to the Heritage Trim or Heritage Edition and add even more handcrafted teak. ChrisCraft offers a wide variety of hull colors to choose from as well, available in gelcoat or paint. Painted hulls are a signature element of Chris-Craft that the manufacturer takes a great deal of pride in, and that most every customer opts for.

In short, there simply is nothing else like the Launch 35 GT, and you won’t see anything on the water that is remotely as functional or beautiful.
