Chris-Craft 427 Catalina 1989

The Chris-Craft 427 Catalina is a reliable cruiser known for its seaworthiness, comfort, and impressive performance. Big Daddys Joy serves as an exceptional aft-cabin motor yacht, perfectly tailored for life on the Chesapeake and ideal for living aboard. With a generous 14.75-foot beam, the layout is spacious and inviting, featuring a fully enclosed aft deck, a bright and open salon, a sizeable galley, and two staterooms, each equipped with walkaround queen beds and ensuite heads. The modified-V hull and a dry weight of 31,000 pounds allow the 427 Catalina to navigate heavier seas with ease while ensuring stability at anchor or in the marina. Accessing the boat from the aft swim platform, perfect for launching kayaks or paddleboards, we enter the enclosed aft deck with isinglass that can be raised for excellent ventilation. This expansive outdoor space, complete with a wet bar, provides quick access to the side decks, salon, and flybridge. The foredeck is thoughtfully equipped with a windlass, two spacious dock boxes, and fender racks. The flybridge offers stunning visibility along with bench seating in front of the helm station. Inside, the main salon is fully carpeted, featuring a large, cozy settee and a lounge chair with a matching ottoman, all under windows that flood the space with natural light. The carpet, replaced just four years ago, is in pristine condition. The salon is equipped with two reverse cycle AC/heat units—one for the master stateroom and salon, and another for the forward stateroom. Moving forward from the salon, the galley to starboard boasts a full-size fridge, stove, oven, microwave, double sink, and plenty of cabinet storage. To port, there’s a convertible dinette. The forward stateroom off the galley includes a walkaround queen bed, a combined washer/dryer unit, an ensuite head to port, and a stateroom vanity to starboard. Engine access is conveniently located through a large hatch in the center of the salon floor. Big Daddys Joy is powered by twin Crusader 454 gas engines (totaling 750 HP), allowing her to cruise comfortably at around 17 knots and reach a maximum speed of approximately 23 knots. The full-beam master stateroom features a walkaround queen bed and an ensuite head with an enclosed shower, providing a luxurious and spacious retreat ideal for extended cruising and living aboard.
