The Corsair 27 revives one of Chris-Craft’s most enduring names in thoroughly modern form. She is a 27-foot dayboat built around the brand’s signature look: a flared bow, lacquered accents and classic proportions, wrapped around a contemporary deep-V hull with 21 degrees of deadrise for a confident ride in a chop.
Power comes from a wide choice of sterndrive V8s, Mercury or Volvo Penta, from 300 up to 430 horsepower, all with digital throttle and shift. That range lets a buyer tune her from a relaxed cruiser to a genuinely quick weekender. A 261 litre fuel tank gives real cruising legs for a boat this size, and twin draft figures, just over half a metre with the drives up, keep her beach-friendly.
Her layout is pure day-boating done well. Forward-facing cockpit seats convert and reconfigure, a sociable bow seating area sits ahead of the console, and a concealed head keeps her practical for longer days afloat. Build quality follows the Chris-Craft tradition, with teak detailing and a finish that justifies her position at the premium end of the segment.
Starting around 215,000 euros, the Corsair 27 is a design-led dayboat for an owner who wants heritage styling with modern power and handling. The Yacht Collection can advise on engine choice, specification and purchase.

The Corsair 27 is built to be driven. A deep-V hull with 21 degrees of transom deadrise gives her a confident, dry ride in a chop, and the sterndrive V8 options cover a wide performance band. Buyers can choose Mercury or Volvo Penta engines from 300 up to 430 horsepower, all with digital throttle and shift for crisp, modern control. At the top of the range she becomes a genuinely quick sportboat, while the lower options keep running costs and fuel use in check. A 261 litre tank gives her real range for a 27-footer, and drives-up draft of just over half a metre lets her nose into shallow bays with ease.
This is where the Corsair 27 earns her keep. Chris-Craft styling is unmistakable: a tall, flared bow, a sweeping sheerline, bright lacquered accents and teak detailing that lift her well above the typical production dayboat. The proportions are classic rather than fashionable, the kind of look that ages gracefully and holds value. Every visible surface reflects the brand’s runabout heritage, and she draws attention at the dock for the right reasons. It is design-led boatbuilding, finished to a standard that justifies her premium positioning.
With no cabin to compromise her, the Corsair 27 gives her whole length to day-boating. Forward-facing cockpit seats convert and reconfigure for cruising, lounging or dining, and a sociable bow seating area sits ahead of the console for guests. A concealed head in the console adds the practicality that longer days demand, and clever storage keeps the clean lines uncluttered. The layout is flexible and genuinely usable, designed around how owners actually spend a day on the water rather than around a spec sheet.
The Corsair 27 is a yacht-certified dayboat meant for sun, speed and sociability. Her open plan keeps guests connected from bow to stern, the convertible seating adapts through the day, and the deep-V hull makes the run between anchorages a pleasure rather than a chore. She suits coastal cruising, beach days and evening runs equally well, and her shallow drives-up draft opens up spots larger boats cannot reach. This is a boat for making the most of a day on the water, with the finish to make every outing feel special.
Built in the United States by Chris-Craft, the Corsair 27 is a premium production dayboat with genuine heritage behind it. Buyers should choose engine package carefully, since the 300 to 430 horsepower spread changes both performance and running cost, and consider the teak and finish options that define the Chris-Craft look. Starting around 215,000 euros, she sits at the upper end of her segment, where build quality and brand pedigree support resale. The Yacht Collection can advise on engine choice, specification and purchase for buyers drawn to her classic American styling.
