1971Chris-Craft57 Constellation

The 57' Constellation remains a "cult classic." It is frequently used as a liveaboard due to its massive interior volume or as a classic coastal cruiser for owners who value style and history over the sleek, plastic look of modern Euro-style yachts.

"Finesse" is the Sixth to the last built - One of only a few with 871ti engines and a Factory Flybridge. She will cruise at 20 knots. This pampered lady has always been shed kept. 3 Year refit completed in 2025 Current owner since 1986. This is a stunning yacht that MUST BE SEEN.

The 57' Chris-Craft Constellation, affectionately known as the "Connie," is considered a masterpiece of mid-century American yacht design. Produced primarily between 1963 and 1972, these motor yachts were the "Queens" of the Chris-Craft fleet and among the largest production wooden yachts of their era.

Notable custom features include remote control electronic switching for the interior lighting, teak and holly soles in the galley, and custom mahogany inlay raised panel doors in the stateroom areas. The laddter to the flybridge has been modified into a stairway making for much easier access, especially for the first mate.

"Finesse" is a 3 stateroom motoryacht with a hard enclosed aft deck with wing doors. She utilizes her on deck salon as the main seating area. The lower salon is fitted with a dining table and chars and serves as a formal dining salon. The galley is below forward to starboard with a convertible dinette to port. All the way forward is a third stateroom crew quarters with upper and lower single berths and a head compartment.

Aft to starboard is a guest head with shower, to port is a guest stateroom with twin berths. Further aft to starboard is the master head with stall shower and a queen berth master stateroom with an athwartships berth. A single berth/settee is to starboard.
