The smaller sister of the popular CLB72, the first hull of CLB65 has been launched three months ahead of the model’s world premiere.

CL Yachts has launched the first CLB65, which is designed for owner-operators and the builder’s smallest model to date, sitting below CLB72 in the CLB series. CLB65 is also the builder’s first model to feature an aft galley, with an open-style kitchen located between the cockpit and saloon.

Features include an expansive swim platform and a flybridge with an electric grill and plenty of seating for lounging and relaxing. The lower deck includes a full-beam master stateroom, VIP suite forward and a guest cabin with convertible twin beds, as well as a single-berth crew quarters.

Powered by twin Volvo IPS1050 pod drives, CLB65 has an estimated top speed of 27 knots at full load and is scheduled to debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 26-30.
