American retro-boat builder Chris-Craft is doing its bit to sink the image of the knockabout Aussie angler. The classy Catalina 29 isn’t for the Ocker hanging on the end of the line, dressed in one of those fluoro workman’s shirts from Aldi, redolent of long-dead bait and with a pant's pocket hiding as much. A prestige craft with a long history, Chris-Craft is out to make fishing sophisticated and sexy, luxurious and inclusive.

The sweet styling, traditional sheer line and tumblehome come courtesy of designer Michael Peters. Such are the sweet lines and looks that superyacht owners can even order a Sun Tender iteration of the Catalina 29 with extra passenger seating. Imagine this baby as your tender.

The all-American centre console Catalinas are true to the genre. There’s abundant walkaround fishing space and room for kit and crew in the self-draining cockpit, with seating for five and as many standing in a key position holding tight for the offshore blast. High freeboard adds to the seaworthy profile.

Apres fishing and on the anchor, the flip-down transom lounge, flip-up rear teak table, pull-out fridge drawer, bow seating with sun-pad infill, and step-down centre console with toilet (offering plenty of change room), sink and handheld shower will ensure your day is well spent. After the best part of a day aboard, we’re hard-pressed to fault this comfort-orientated centre console.
