2017 C-Dory 23' Venture Cruiser

Although very similar to the classic C-Dory design, this new model features a deeper V, a little more deadrise and reverse chines to provide very smooth cruising in the open water.

Maneuverability at speed is balanced and predictable, even in heavy seas. The boat holds her course with little effort. The hulls flatness toward the stern with reverse chines greatly reduces the rolling motions, making cruising in rough water much more pleasant. Fishermen will love the way the boat tracks at trolling speeds, allowing the focus to remain on the fishing. And with only 8 draft and a thick bottom, she can easily be beached on sand for beach combing adventures.

With over 64 of headroom, the cabin provides cozy shelter. It features a comfortable seating and sleeping area, and a pilots station with excellent all-around visibility. Our Venture models are fully lined with marine foam insulation and covered with marine vinyl.

The cabin layout is simple. On port side of the isle there is a collapsible table that levels for a bunk. A forward facing seat facing toward the table and a reversible seat on the front end of the table. On the starboard side is a full galley with helm, sink, and stove. Plenty of storage is found in the cabin. The forward section of the cabin features a 64 V double berth, two reading lights, a large deck hatch, and a chemical toilet which is separated from the main cabin by a privacy curtain.

Cushions are made of high quality foam covered with durable Sunbrella boat canvas. The colors coordinate with the exterior trim. All of the cushions can be removed so the interior can be cleaned easily.
