Although launches are traditionally intended to serve as tenders for large yachts, plenty of people will want to use the Launch 25 for day-trips, kicking around the bay, and even watersports. Our test boat had an unusually deep swim platform and one touch I really liked was the flush-mounted, pull-up grab handle back there. It'll make getting into and out of the boat a lot easier, but when pushed down, doesn't interrupt the smooth, sexy teak platform's eye-pleasing lines. To make day use more comfortable, Chris-Craft also builds a head into the port-side console. It's pretty cramped, which you have to expect on a boat of this size, and when you swing the door open it does hit the driver's side console. A rubber bumper would do wonders here, to prevent the smack of fiberglass on fiberglass. Inside, the head is once more a cut above. It has a sink—a rarity on a boat of this size—and the stereo head is mounted into the cabin-side, a smart way to keep it 100-percent protected from the elements. This part of the boat deserves a closer examination, which comes through a bit better in a visual form. So check out this short video of the passenger's side console and amidships area of the Launch 25.

"We’re Ryan and Poppy — and this is Once Upon A Reef." In this documentary series, we sail through the Solomon Islands' Western Province, showcasing its unique culture, deep-rooted traditions, and the raw island way of life. With over 50 meters of visibility, we dive deep into some of the clearest waters on earth—but life here is about more than just the view. On a tight budget, we survive off the ocean and what we’ve brought to trade. If you’re into raw adventure, sustainable living, and untold island stories — hit subscribe. The Solomon Islands are one of the last places on earth where time seems to stand still. Over the course of this series, we navigate everything from the world's largest saltwater lagoon to remote atolls in the middle of the open ocean. It’s a journey of extreme highs and challenging lows—from volcanic cooking and secret blue holes to engine failures in crocodile territory and experiencing a our first cyclone on the boat in a place that should have never had one. Coming up in this season: Sustainable Living: Learning to forage, hunt, and trade for our daily needs. The Wild: Close encounters with hammerheads, sea turtles, and saltwater crocodiles. The People: Meeting the most generous communities on earth and navigating village politics. Boat Life Reality: The grit of maintaining a catamaran in the most remote corners of the Pacific. The Heart: The story of Solly, the kitten gifted to us in a glass jar in the middle of the sea.
