Chris-Craft has announced it will debut its new Capri 21 at the Cannes Boat Show next month and, in so doing, provide "an entirely new version of luxury in only twenty-one feet."
The Capri 21 embraces design cues from the brand's original DNA and harks back to the Chris-Craft vertical bow models of the 1930's.
This new runabout is built with a "vertical bow" profile, complete with stainless steel bow plate, and it also carries the classic sloped tumblehome that has become a signature of Chris-Craft design.
This year's showboat will sport a new graphite-metallic paint color that is now available in the Chris-Craft line-up.
Stephen Julius, Chris-Craft Chairman, stated: "The Capri 21 speaks to the past but the design appeal is forward thinking and unmistakably Chris-Craft."
The Capri 21 is the first boat to have the new 2014 cockpit with new seats, fabric and diamond-pattern upholstery harking back to a bygone era.
The second of two vertical-bow boats that Chris-Craft has produced this year, the Capri 21 follows on from the the bowrider Carina 21 which was released at the 2013 Miami Boat Show
