Specifications

There are boats, and then there are legends.

There are boats, and then there are legends. Every so often, along comes a wood yacht of such rare pedigree and beauty that we fall in love all over again. This is such a craft, a masterpiece that redefines beauty, grace and craftsmanship.

First launched in 1929 for her owner, businessman William F. Ladd of New York City, she was the finest thing on the water. The top of the line in the Chris-Craft fleet, she earned the nickname Queen of the Fleet. Today, more than ever, that honor holds true. She has won the highest awards in five major Pacific Northwest wood boat shows. 

This is a legacy boat, an opportunity to own an incredible piece of history. She was Chris-Craft’s first-ever Commuter Cruiser model, and Mr. Ladd used her to commute from his summer home in Long Island to his office in Manhattan. She is 38 feet long, with seating for twelve passengers in the forward cockpit, bridge deck and aft cockpit. Most of her vintage features are restored intact. Today, that makes her an incredible boat for entertaining in the spirit and style of the Roaring 20s. Your guests have never seen anything like her.

Construction

This yacht is in the finest condition of her life since she was brand new. She has been recently repowered, and has been restored to the highest of standards by Coeur Custom Wood Boats with no expense spared. Her teak decks are brand new. The cabin is mahogany and the hull is mahogany on oak. She has a full galley, electric-flush head with Pullman-style sink, four berths (the very first Chris-Craft to have this feature) and upholstery redone in the dark green original style.

“This is the true definition of a wood boat,” says Jim Brown, master craftsman at Coeur Custom, in charge of her latest refit. “Each boat that we build, that we work on, that we restore, has its own personality. They have a character to them; they speak to you. She is a living, breathing, beautiful lady. If you take care of her, she’ll take great care of you.”

The boat is for sale by Jerry Gilbreath, nine-time world offshore champion and holder of more than 25 speed records. Jerry is a consultant to Coeur Custom as part of the design team. This yacht captured his eye and his heart, and he spent considerable money to have her brought up to perfection. Today, Jerry is moving onto other projects and is quite reluctantly ready to pass the legacy along to the next proud owner. Where will her story lead?

Mini Chris-Craft: 1995 Jet-Zet Speedboat

chris craft mini yacht

Sometimes all it takes is the right skills and a vivid imagination to create something unique. Such is the case with this 1995 Jet-Zet speedboat. This timber beauty features a Kawasaki engine that offers excellent performance. Its petite dimensions should make it more maneuverable than its larger brethren. Barn Finder PRA4SNW spotted this beauty listed for sale here at RM Sotheby’s Auctions , so a big thank you goes out for the referral. The Jet-Zet is located in Monte Carlo, Monaco, and will go under the hammer on May 14th with No Reserve.

chris craft mini yacht

The owner is a Finnish gentleman with a sense of adventure. He found himself owning an early 1980s Kawasaki jetski and was unsure what to do with it. His fertile imagination kicked into gear, and he set about creating a custom jetboat that he christened Jet-Zet. The quality of the workmanship is impressive. He started by creating a pine frame and superstructure, cladding this in ply. He seemed intent on copying the appearance of Chris-Craft classics, so he covered the ply in mahogany veneer. He added contrasting pine strips on the deck, finally coating the entire craft with epoxy resin, five coats of two-component lacquer, and a final coat of lacquer applied in an automotive painting booth. I believe that he baked this to achieve an almost bulletproof finish, and the flat epoxy bottom allows the boat to be landed on virtually any surface. Its presentation is difficult to fault. The lacquer shines beautifully, the timber shows no signs of rot or discoloring, while the numerous metal components retain a winning shine. The custom windshields offer occupants some protection when the skipper cracks the throttle.

chris craft mini yacht

The spotless presentation continues inside this craft. Occupants are confronted by more heavily lacquered mahogany, plus a seat upholstered in green vinyl. Gauges are limited to a tachometer, with the wheel and throttle lever custom-crafted by the builder. Nestled behind the occupants are a Kawasaki jetski motor and associated hardware. Producing 50hp, this unit propels the 550lb Jet-Zet and up to two occupants at a maximum speed of 35 knots. That’s a pretty impressive figure, and its fuel tank offers a cruising time of around four hours. Thanks to a relatively short overall length of 12-feet, the Jet-Zet should be an extremely agile little performer. While they don’t mention it, the power and weight of this little beauty mean that it should have no trouble toeing a single waterskier if an added layer of adventure seems necessary. Otherwise, the flat bottom and a lack of a propellor make this an ideal candidate for touring narrow and shallow waterways.

chris craft mini yacht

I openly admit that I’m not a die-hard boating enthusiast, but I find the Jet-Zet pretty cool. Chris-Craft produced iconic boats of this style, but their values continue to climb like so many classics. The Jet-Zet offers that style in a smaller and a potentially more affordable package. The seller provides a guide price of €16,000 – €24,000 ($16,800 – $25,200), and while I’m unsure whether bidding will reach that level, the lack of a reserve means a new home is beckoning. With warmer weather fast approaching, the timing couldn’t be better.

Wow! Just….wow.

Howard A.

Now why in ‘tarnation would someone named “Boatman” think this is cool? Just messin’ witcha’, it is really cool. I simply love wood boats,but wood boats in the past were always these ultimate behemoth vessels, that weighed a ton, leaked like a sieve, and needed a Mack truck to pull it. I like the idea of PWCs, but a rider severely limits the fun, and this would be much more friendly. Even a small car, provided you could find a place to mount the hitch, could pull this. Now, for you boat freaks, why isn’t the steering wheel on the right, like most boats? Glad you asked, it’s because, of the propeller. On prop driven boats, I read, the rotation of the prop caused the boat to lift slightly. It was thought, the weight of the operator would counteract that. Plus, in nautical situations, it’s just customary to have the wheel on the right side. The jet drive, I believe, eliminates that,, anyone? Very cool find, for sure.

chris craft mini yacht

I was wondering the same thing. All speedboats I can remember seeing were right-hand drive. Thanks for the explanation. It sounds correct.

Having said that, due to my Finnish heritage, I would be interested in bidding on this, if I had the dough-ray-me! Perhaps if I win the lottery I might move to Monaco and tool around in my new toy?

Howard, I’m a “Boat man” from way back, and I never heard that story! I figured the wheel was on the PORT side {see what I did there?) because the builder wanted it there. But, you may be on to something!

chris craft mini yacht

I’ve heard that if you want to win a lottery its best to buy a ticket.

That said, nice woodie! I wonder if it still floats or if shipworms have eaten its float-ability.

chris craft mini yacht

All I know is…I WANT IT!

chris craft mini yacht

Oh baby, that really floats my boat!

chris craft mini yacht

What a perfect summah toy for fresh water lakes here in Maine. Shipping and customs puts it out of reach. Damn.

chris craft mini yacht

Some enterprising guy should start a company building these. I bet there would be a strong market. I love it. 😎

chris craft mini yacht

Totally agree – there’s a total absence of boats in this size that both look good + have decent performance. Closest one I can think of is the Donzi 16.

I’m thinking that built with a fibreglass hull but wood laminated deck this JetZet could be built at an acceptable price while still keeping its good looks and fit into a niche market of boaters who neither want the size nor the financial outlay associated with larger vessels

chris craft mini yacht

I find myself horrified at the mere thought of making this a weekend grin machine (which it could well manage in spades). It is a stunning, one-off work of art, no less so than any other. Sure, an occasional outing, just to remind yourself that you are alive, would be mandatory. But otherwise, this should be displayed properly as an ultimate piece of man-cave art (for those with such a capacious cave). It makes my eyeballs feel better, just looking at it.

chris craft mini yacht

Sweet, with a jet ski engine and no reserve.

chris craft mini yacht

Adam, thanks for picking this one up. I’m not much of a boat person – love riding in them, but never owned one – but when I saw this, I knew that I had to share it with my BF pals.

chris craft mini yacht

Boats are like babies, good to visit someone with them so you can enjoy the pleasure associated with them, for say a few hours, but then you get to go home. Home, where there is peace and quiet, and no expense. Unless you live on a large body of water where you have it anchored on a dock next to your house, I can see no reason to own a boat. Even under that scenario, how often would you actually use it? Boats are for the wealthy leisure class who have time and money to burn.

chris craft mini yacht

I love old Chris Crafts and this looks as beautiful as one of them. I don’t do boats but if I did, this would be a blast as long as I had a place to park it.

chris craft mini yacht

I am imaging this with modern supercharged jet ski power, and the tool man grunting ……

chris craft mini yacht

Well done. This guy is my hero. Anything south of 20k feels like a steal for this.

chris craft mini yacht

So this is no Chris Craft.

So this is no Chris Craft. No I have not talk or said anything about this post.!!

chris craft mini yacht

Most not all jet drive boats drive (steer) from the left or port side !!

chris craft mini yacht

Lowell Hyatt??? Not your post? This is no Century either. Or Gar Wood. It’s a one-off, and beautiful. What a personal watercraft would have looked like in the 40’s and 50’s if they’d been invented. Took modern power and jet drives to make this possible.

I only was asking or saying it’s not a Chris Craft. Yes or no. No doubt it’s a bad ass & Beautiful. Goes with out saying.

Chris-Craft, founded in 1874, designs, engineers, and builds luxury runabouts, center consoles, and express cruisers in Sarasota, Florida. With over 140 years of boat building experience, Chris-Craft is America’s oldest premium boat builder and globally recognized for its classic beauty, stunning woodwork, and agile handling.

Chris-Craft’s heritage dates back to 1874, when Christopher Columbus Smith built his first boat at the age of 13. By 1881, Chris joined his brother, Hank, and they begin manufacturing hunting craft, which led to the building of “standardized” runabouts. The Smith Ryan Boat Company was established in 1910 and focused on the mass production of fast, economical runabouts. The company was named Chris Smith & Sons Boat Company in 1922. Five years later, Chris-Craft was recognized as the world’s largest builder of mahogany powerboats.

For over 140 years, Chris-Craft has been an industry leader in the production of recreational boats that define American heritage, agile performance, and traditional craftsmanship.
