Chris-Craft, America’s boatbuilder since 1874, today unveiled its first, zero emission, all-electric concept boat – the Launch 25 GTe – at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show.

The fully operational Launch 25 GTe includes a sterndrive configuration with an electric motor and battery bank that replaces the engine and fuel systems. The creation of the Launch 25 GTe is an important step for the iconic boatbuilder on the journey to bring an electrified experience to the luxury boat market.
