The first in the new line of Executive Cruisers has hit the water. The new CruiseCraft Executive 700 model has passed through sea trials with stunning results and is now in full production.

This initial offering, the Executive 700, is the first release of the three model Executive boat range covering the key segment designations of 570, 620 and 700.

The much anticipated release of Australia's most exciting trailerable Family Cruiser is meeting the needs of a niche segment in the trailerable market. In the past, precious few boat manufacturers have been able to provide an easily handled, fully featured (and affordable) weekend Cruiser that can deliver to families extended live aboard boating in comfort and complete safety.

CruiseCraft has answered the call and delivered arguably the smoothest riding, most highly finished trailerable weekend Cruiser range on the market. The Executive 700 is available exclusively as a sterndrive, a configuration that not only delivers ample power for boating, but also has the technology to keep an onboard hot water service running efficiently.

‘This is an exceptional Cruiser that truly has it all,' said CruiseCraft Director of Design, Justin Nichols. ‘It's a luxury trailerable Cruiser, an ideal weekender and most importantly it delivers a smooth and dry ride even in adverse sea conditions.'

The hull profile on the new CruiseCraft Executive line is based on the highly acclaimed design criteria that have made the blue water CruiseCraft Outsider and Explorer models so successful. However, the advanced construction technique employed to produce the hull and deck is an outstanding first for CruiseCraft.

After utilising their in-house computer design studio, and the deck plugs are cut out of solid styrene foam by a 5 axis milling machine. The result is an incredibly accurate design that produces a smoother and finer hull shape.

The precise hull construction is evident during a close inspection over the smooth contours, both along the hull and across the stunning profile of the majestic hard top. Every feature on the CruiseCraft Executive 700, from the luxurious bathroom to the alluring curve of the rear lounge, has been meticulously laid out for pure on-water enjoyment.

Immediately grabbing your attention is the aerodynamically designed hard top, standing proud above the beautiful drop-coaming deck line that boaters have come to admire from CruiseCraft. The ¾ hull length stainless steel bow rail is well scaled to provide excellent forward access along the broad side decks.

The upper-deck cabin mould extends almost the entire length of the hull with modern styled tinted windows and matching oval portholes finishing the Executive touch. Under the hardtop is an uncluttered layout that maximises internal space while affording all the facilities expected from a weekend Cruiser of this size.

Up forward, the fully lined cabin boats plenty of sleeping space via the well upholstered v-berth cushions and supplied bunk in-fills. Reading lights, television and entertainment speaker system complete the ‘suite style' configuration.

Tucked away to the starboard side of the helm bulkhead, the onboard bathroom is compact and provides all the necessary amenities from a true ensuite. The fully moulded bathroom section comprises a plumbed sink with hot water, an extendable multi-use shower tap and the latest technology marine (holding tank) toilet.

The sheer size of the hard top is fully appreciated whilst standing at the helm. Visibility from behind the huge tinted windows is remarkable while the integrated roof console has been cut away at the helm to allow for excellent skipper headroom. Portside, the console houses marine radios and cabin down lights.

Commanding the luxury Cruiser has never been easier amid the CruiseCraft Executive 700 helm station. The uncluttered helm module features a full array of gauges and navigational instruments, electronic control switches, a clever storage well for phones/keys plus room for a combination sounder/plotter unit.

Spanning the fully lined roof are two large adjustable window hatches which provide both ample sunlight into the cabin and also appropriate ventilation when the activity in the galley powers up. The kitchen is a marine chefs' delight, setup amid a large and stylish fully moulded work bench.

CruiseCraft delivers a weekend Cruiser galley with not only 2 burner metho cook top, plumbed hot water, sink, fridge and microwave but also plenty of bench space and room to move. The Chef no longer has to fight for storage and working room with the CruiseCraft Executive 700.

Entertaining and relaxing are the only priorities for CruiseCraft Executive boat owners. The new Executive 700 features an elegantly upholstered 6 seater rear corner lounge ideally positioned to allow ample cockpit room and safe entry access through the rear transom door.

The CruiseCraft team designed a huge integrated rear boarding platform that is the perfect location to safely welcome guests, entertain, prepare for swimming, or even engage in sport fishing. Doubling as a grab rail, the rear bait board tower features 4 rocket launchers and a cutting board that can also be easily adapted for alternative uses.

The alluring CruiseCraft Executive 700 is the first compelling release from the Executive model line up. The compact Executive 570 and all-rounder Executive 620 models are due for release early next year. The Executive Series is destined to forge a strong reputation among existing CruiseCraft owners and new boaties alike; the Executive range is truly the ideal weekend cruiser for all reasons and all seasons.
