The Chris~Craft Constellation
Chris Craft is well known for their beautiful and seaworthy motor yachts such as the Constellation. The Constellation, affectionately called "Connies" by their loyal owners, was perhaps the most sought-after yacht of the time. Well built, fast, rugged and seaworthy, they were the flagships of the Chris Craft Corporation.
Commissioned in November of 1967, for model year 1968, at the Chris Craft facility in Pompano Beach Florida, this double plank frame mahogany and teak yacht has all the comforts of home on the water. Her inherent design, grace and beauty make her a breed apart from other vessels her size.

Everything about Bay Lady is classic and traditional in style. The strong carved hull is painted in the traditional Chris Craft colors of Sapphire Blue and Hatteras White. The classic silver scroll Chris Craft triple C logo adorns both sides of the bow. Rich Mahogany with a high gloss finish cover the railings, molding and trim, and the deck is teak with a clear, natural sealer. Her mahogany interior bright work is stunningly varnished throughout and her Saloon and V-Berth offer the ultimate in comfort afloat.
Bay Lady speaks to a time of elegance and timelessness, a period marked by unparalled style and grace. With a length of forty-five feet, a beam of thirteen feet, six inches and over 64 of headroom, she is ultimately well equipped for entertaining in comfort and in style.
This owner spent two years lovingly refurbishing her. Befitting a Grande Dame, I finished her with elegance and style. No expense was spared or detail overlooked.
