Live the Dream – Florida & Bahamas Bound

Owning a Chris-Craft Launch 28 isn't just about having a boat—it's about embracing a lifestyle defined by elegance, freedom, and unforgettable moments on the water.

Picture this: You idle out of your slip in Naples or Fort Lauderdale, the morning sun glinting off the Midnight Blue hull, teak gleaming underfoot. The twin Volvos rumble to life as you cruise across the bay, bow slicing effortlessly through turquoise waters. Whether you’re heading to a dock-and-dine lunch in Boca Grande, anchoring off Peanut Island, or planning a weekend run across to Bimini, this boat delivers the performance, comfort, and confidence to make every outing extraordinary.

With her spacious layout and smooth, responsive handling, the Launch 28 is your ticket to both spontaneous afternoon escapes and bucket-list island crossings. From Florida’s scenic waterways to the shimmering shallows of the Exumas, you’re always just one turn of the ignition away from adventure.

Drop anchor in a quiet cove. Swim in crystal-clear water. Open a bottle of something cold and watch the sun slip below the horizon, the underwater lights casting a soft glow beneath the surface. This is not a brochure fantasy—this is your reality aboard a Chris-Craft.

Refined. Iconic. Effortlessly cool. The Launch 28 brings the kind of timeless luxury and performance that turns heads wherever she goes—and opens up a world of boating possibilities.

Own the boat. Live the lifestyle. The water is calling.

Notes on Performance:

• The deep-V hull (20° deadrise) offers a smooth, dry ride even in chop.
• The twin-engine configuration with bow thruster makes handling around the docks incredibly easy—ideal for tight Florida marinas or Bahamian anchorages.
• Excellent midrange responsiveness for water sports or quick coastal hops.

This combination of speed, style, and stability makes the Launch 28 a perfect match for South Florida and island cruising.
