Chase 19

The Chase 19 is the entry-level model in the Chase range and owes its existence to its low profile, which allows it to fit into the garages of superyachts and megayachts. Despite its compact length of 5.8 metres, it can carry ten people. Boarding is easy via the walk-through swim platform, and the seating is designed with longer crossings from yacht to shore in mind.

Beneath the deck lies a 195 hp Yanmar 4LV diesel engine, capable of a speed of approximately 64 km per hour according to the yard. An inboard engine keeps the transom clear and keeps noise at bay, which is well suited to its use as a yacht tender. The deck is self-draining and there is an enclosed storage compartment plus a bow anchor locker.

The finish is on a par with that of the parent vessel: Flexiteek deck covering, carbon console panels, a leather steering wheel, digital engine controls, LED lighting, a fresh-water flushing system, twin batteries, a battery charger and yacht-grade stainless steel fittings. The kerb weight is 1,815 kilograms, and the fuel tank capacity is 136 litres. CE design category C. The overall height of 1.73 metres is the key figure to check against the dimensions of your yacht garage for this model.
