1964 Chris-Craft Constellation

Step aboard and you’re greeted by that unmistakable vintage sheer line and raised bow that made these early fiberglass-and-wood Chris-Crafts so timeless. The wide side decks and sturdy railings give you the confidence to move forward underway, and the big, open foredeck begs for deck chairs on a quiet evening. Inside, the salon windows flood the cabin with natural light, so the mahogany doesn’t feel dark or closed-in. The lower helm offers good sightlines, yet there’s still plenty of room for a proper lounge area. A generous aft deck lets you entertain outside without feeling cramped, and the classic transom profile turns heads at every marina.

This Constellation shines on inland waterways and broad river stretches where long, leisurely cruises are the norm. Its substantial displacement hull tracks straight in current and chop, giving a comfortable, predictable ride for guests who may be new to boating. The generous beam and multiple cabin layout make weekend raft-ups and overnight stays easy, with space to spread out under cover when weather moves through. Large windows and an inviting aft deck turn every shoreline into a moving panorama, ideal for slow sightseeing runs. With its classic lines and substantial presence, it looks perfectly at home among bridges, bluffs, and marinas along the river.
