Chaparral Powerboats for Sale

Chaparral

Chaparral Boats have been built since the mid-1960s, making them one of the longest-established powerboats in the USA.

Originally named “Fiberglass Fabricators”, the yard initially produced individual fiberglass components until its founders, William Pegg and Reggie Rose, decided to move fully into boatbuilding. A step that proved successful right from the start.

Success on three “hulls”

One of their first production boats immediately became a bestseller, above all among less affluent working-class buyers in the USA. With the 15-foot “Tri-Hull” at the remarkably attractive price of 675 US dollars, the yard laid the foundation on which, just a few years later, considerably larger, faster and more luxurious yachts were built.

Steady growth

In 1967, a fire destroyed the Chaparral facility in Ft. Lauderdale, but the company rebuilt it. In 1976, Chaparral Boats bought the buildings and hangars of the insolvent Larson Boats yard and moved its headquarters to Nashville, Georgia, where the yard still operates today.
Chaparral Boats changed owners several times and was, among others, taken over by the Brunswick Group.

Safe, comfortable, fast

Over the decades, Chaparral Boats has consolidated its reputation as a solid, trustworthy and innovative boatbuilder. The V-hull, used from the very beginning, gives all Chaparral boats excellent stability underway. Almost legendary are the low fuel consumption figures of Chaparral boats in all size classes, which have been highlighted for many years.

On the used boat market, Chaparral boats are in comparatively strong demand. Their resale value is considered above average.
