Broker's Comments
Chris-Craft Constellation...the name alone epitomizes the highest achievements of American motor yacht building. This beautiful 55' Connie has received continuous upgrades and loving maintenance throughout her life, and is ready to continue service as a glamorous and comfortable boat....perhaps for a family longing to make a yacht their home? Or for someone with a dedication and love for seagoing classics? Take a look and you'll be enthralled by the gleaming rails, the polished fittings, the classic lines, and the warm woods and joinery throughout.
Well-equipped with newer GM Detroit diesels and a documented history of attentive care she's ready to cruise. And with a gourmet galley, roomy and comfortable cabins, an expansive salon, and an enclosed bridgedeck with a regally commanding view of all around she's a joy to be aboard. Her current owners have enjoyed living aboard for many years, and have found her to be a warm, incredibly comfortable home on the water.
