The 1971 Chris-Craft 57 Constellation is a wooden motor yacht built during an era when the model earned recognition as a design classic. At 57 feet long with a 15-foot beam, the boat offers substantial interior volume and has proven popular both as a liveaboard and as a coastal cruiser. Two GM diesel engines rated at 870 hp power the yacht and support a cruising speed of 18 knots.
This particular Constellation is one of only a few produced with the 871ti engine configuration and factory flybridge. The wood hull has been shed-kept throughout its service life, receiving a comprehensive three-year refit that was completed in 2025. The boat combines the appeal of classic design with modern maintenance, holding its character for owners who prefer the aesthetic and construction of traditional yachts over contemporary materials and styling.
