Overview
Take a look at this classic 48-foot Chris-Craft Convertible—a yacht that represents the golden era of American sportfishing and cruising. Built in 1988, she combines timeless lines, a spacious layout, and the solid construction that made Chris-Craft famous.
At 48 feet, this boat offers an exceptional balance of offshore capability and onboard comfort. The large cockpit provides plenty of room for fishing, entertaining, or simply enjoying a day on the water. The elevated flybridge delivers excellent visibility for docking, cruising, and navigating offshore.
Inside, you’ll find a generous salon with the warm, classic styling that yacht enthusiasts appreciate. The layout is designed for extended cruising, featuring comfortable accommodations, a full galley, and private staterooms that make weekends—or even weeks—aboard enjoyable for family and guests.
One of the biggest advantages of this vessel is her proven hull design. These boats were built to handle rough water confidently while maintaining a smooth ride, making them equally at home as a sportfisherman, coastal cruiser, or liveaboard.
For buyers who appreciate classic craftsmanship, substantial construction, and the prestige of the Chris-Craft name, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. Modern yachts often cost several times as much, yet few offer the same combination of character, space, and proven seaworthiness.
Whether you’re looking for a serious fishing platform, a comfortable cruising yacht, or a classic vessel with enduring appeal, this 48-foot Chris-Craft Convertible deserves your attention. She’s a boat that turns heads in the marina and delivers confidence when it’s time to leave the dock.
If you’re ready to step into a true classic, let’s schedule a viewing and see everything this yacht has to offer.

Purchase Support
Yes. As part of its buyer representation, California Yacht Sales can provide resources for financing, insurance, and finding a slip, along with helping coordinate surveys and the purchase process.
Discuss your needs with your broker early so these arrangements can be considered before completing your purchase.
Surveys & Inspections
A marine survey is an independent assessment of a boat. The report identifies the vessel and reviews its construction, equipment, electronics, safety equipment, electrical systems, fuel systems, and other relevant features. The process also includes hauling the boat out so the surveyor can inspect its bottom.
Surveys commonly include recommendations for repairs or maintenance. California Yacht Sales can provide a list of surveyors accredited through NAMS or SAMS. Your insurer or lender may also require a survey.
Yes. A mechanical or engine survey is a separate report focused on the boat’s propulsion systems. It can review the engines, fuel and oil systems, exhaust, cooling systems, alarms, and transmissions. Depending on the engine and inspection, it may also include compression testing.
Your broker can help coordinate the marine survey and mechanical inspection as part of the purchase process. Learn more on our Buyer Info page.
Viewings & Sea Trials
Contact California Yacht Sales to discuss the boats that interest you and schedule a viewing with a broker. Our team can help you compare options and arrange visits to suitable listings.
Call 619-295-9669 or use the inquiry form on the boat listing to get started.
A sea trial is part of the purchase process and gives you an opportunity to observe how the boat handles underway and test its systems. It is generally arranged through your broker as part of an offer and the agreed purchase contingencies, rather than as a same-day test drive during an initial viewing.
Your broker can explain the timing and requirements for the boat you are considering. See our Buyer Info page for an overview of the process.
