2016 Chris-Craft Launch 36Sold

Slide into the helm seat and you’ll notice how everything on this Launch 36 falls easily to hand, from the intuitive joystick controls to the well-laid-out displays. The wide, secure side decks and deep cockpit freeboard make moving around underway feel confident, even with a crowd on board. Forward, the bow seating invites you to drop anchor and linger over sunset drinks, helped by clever storage that keeps gear out of sight. Below, the natural light from oversized hull windows makes the cabin feel larger than you’d expect on a pure day boat, and the separate shower in the head turns a quick rinse into a proper refresh before dinner ashore.

In these waters, where conditions can shift from glassy calm to choppy in an afternoon, the Launch 36’s deep-V hull and triple outboards shine. You’ll have the range and speed to hop between anchorages, yet still tuck into shallow coves thanks to the outboards’ draft and easy trim. Wide, open decks suit warm-weather entertaining, while the shaded cockpit and airy cabin give you welcome relief from midday sun. When the breeze kicks up, high-quality hardware and solid construction translate into a reassuring ride. Whether you’re running to a favorite sandbar or spending a spontaneous night aboard, this model fits the versatile, outdoor lifestyle here exceptionally well.
