Welcome aboard "Sea Camp," a truly one-of-a-kind classic Chris-Craft Roamer Motor Yacht. Originally built in 1963 as a Chris-Craft Roamer 56 (Hull No. 3), this remarkable yacht has been professionally custom extended to an overall length of approximately 64 feet, creating an extraordinary blend of classic American craftsmanship and modern waterfront living.
Built with an exceptionally rare riveted, rolled-aluminum hull, Sea Camp represents an important piece of maritime history that has been completely reimagined for today's cruising lifestyle. Listed exclusively by La Paz Yachts and currently located in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, she has benefited from more than $347,000 USD invested in a comprehensive refit completed between 2022 and 2025.
While her timeless exterior profile has been carefully preserved, virtually every major onboard system has been upgraded or replaced. From all-new electrical wiring and plumbing to modern power management, navigation, and comfort systems, Sea Camp offers the confidence of a substantially modernized yacht while retaining the unmistakable character of a classic Chris-Craft Roamer.
Originally launched as a 56-foot Chris-Craft Roamer, Sea Camp has been enhanced with thoughtfully engineered custom extensions, including a beautifully integrated aluminum swim platform inspired by original Chris-Craft factory designs. These modifications increase her overall length to approximately 64 feet while maintaining the elegant proportions that define the iconic Roamer series.
The result is additional outdoor living space that complements the yacht's innovative interior redesign and creates an exceptional connection with the water.
Sea Camp's interior has been completely reimagined around an open-concept layout rarely found aboard a classic motor yacht.
The aft wall of the main salon opens almost entirely, transforming the yacht into a seamless indoor-outdoor entertainment space that extends from the salon directly onto the expansive swim platform. This creates an inviting waterfront terrace unlike anything found on most classic yachts.
A short staircase leads to the heart of the vessel—a custom industrial-inspired galley positioned beneath an impressive double-height ceiling that fills the space with natural light and volume. From this central gathering area, the interior flows naturally toward the forward accommodations, allowing uninterrupted sightlines through much of the yacht.
The result is a remarkably spacious living environment that feels more like a modern waterfront loft than a traditional 1960s motor yacht.
One of Sea Camp's most remarkable features is her automated Wingit Kite Propulsion System.
Designed to harness high-altitude winds, this innovative system deploys a large towing kite capable of helping propel the yacht silently under suitable conditions. The result is an environmentally conscious cruising experience that complements the vessel's modern off-grid capabilities while adding an exceptional conversation piece to an already extraordinary yacht.
Sea Camp has undergone a comprehensive modernization that extends well beyond cosmetic improvements.
Power comes from dependable twin Detroit Diesel 8V-92 engines producing approximately 870 combined horsepower.
Continuing the yacht's modernization, a 10 kW hybrid electric drive system and JT-90 Jet Thruster have recently been installed and are currently undergoing final calibration by the owner, further enhancing Sea Camp's long-term cruising capabilities.
Whether you're searching for a Chris-Craft Roamer 56, a custom 64-foot motor yacht, a classic aluminum yacht, or an exceptional liveaboard yacht in Mexico, Sea Camp represents a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive vessel. Newly priced to move quickly, she seamlessly combines historic craftsmanship, extensive modernization, innovative technology, and remarkable living space. Sea Camp stands apart from virtually anything else on today's brokerage market, now available at an extraordinary value for a motivated buyer!
