A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-presented and extensively upgraded Chaparral Signature 31, one of the standout American express cruisers of her era.

Widely regarded as one of the more sophisticated and better-built sports cruisers in her class during the 1990s, the Signature 31 combines strong offshore capability, generous accommodation, and impressive performance with the unmistakable quality and styling Chaparral became known for.

Performance & Handling

Powered by highly desirable twin Volvo Penta KAD32/DP diesel engines, this boat delivers:

The addition of a bow thruster further enhances manoeuvrability, making marina handling significantly easier.

Major works include extensive attention to:
