The Design

Whether sea dwelling is your passion or profession, you will find the right vessel in our range. What inspired the Chameleon Craft concept and design philosophy was the lack of a water-based transportation platform that mirrors proven operational merits of multirole wheeled vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. 

All Chameleon Craft are versatile and durable machines. Like the vigorous lizard it is named after, with its utilitarian use, strength, adaptability, and flexibility it will master its habitat.

Wrap around “D-profile, smart foam filled side protection fender” (which also provide buoyancy in the case of a catastrophic hull breach) you can maneuver, dock, load and offload with ease without the concern for damaging the surface work of the vessel's own, the mother ship or a slip.

Molded stern drive cutouts diminish the incorporated water egress problems associated with conventional, wood reinforced transoms that are cut after the hull is build. And yes there is no water absorbing wood but rather an extreme-high-density, non-permeable foam core at the transom of every CC10.

Protected by the same wrap around fender at the aft corners and recessed propulsion units, aft dockings are also made possible.

Flattened bow section combined with a folding anchor cradle, it allows for easy boarding from the bow for quick, no rope, under power dockings.

The hull is scientifically optimized for all weather speed and stability. We even introduced a keel radius to soften the ride and to eliminate cavitation, sending undisturbed water flow to the propulsion units. This is especially crucial for water-jet propelled CC10s.

Beamy hull allows the design to feature wide, safe, well-protected bulwarks around the super structure, making the CC10 essentially a walk around boat. This provides operational smoothness, additional passenger safety and never seen before ease of access on a 10meter boat.

Emergency boarding step at the transom provide additional safety when operating the boat singlehanded. Provided that the boat is stationary you can easily utilize the drive leg and this step to hop back on board should you find yourself washed off the deck in to the drink.

A molded-in bilge and drainage discharge hub is incorporated to both sides of the hull to provide a single point of discharge for all unwanted water in the boat. These eliminate internal and external clutter from a visual and plumbing standpoint.

We decided that the CC10 should have a built in slow speed / stationary stabilization mechanism in place. This called for port and starboard ballast chambers that automatically fill up and empty depending on the vessel speed. This feature is mainly foreseen for light specced CC10s with outboard engines for commercial operations that may require a heavier platform when stationary or at slow speeds.

A small but often overseen detail, hull markings such as lifting point markers, bow thruster / propeller location indicators are molded-in the hull making them permanent and visible throughout the life of the boat. Your lift operator will never have to guess that may risk the running gear of your CC10.

Thanks to its special hinge mechanism, the custom shaped and hydraulically operated trim tabs are mounted on the running surface of the hull rather than on the transom for maximum effect under steam at any speed.

Gyro Stabilization ready! In collaboration with the manufacturer, should it be specified, we can drop in a SeaKeeper 3 Gyro Stabilization unit below-decks, bolted to specially modified longitudinal mounting struts.

Optionally available radar and navionics mast is specifically designed for the CC10 by Sacha Aven, it incorporates all navigation lights, auxillary

electronics, radar and search light.

Our in-house carpentry / joinery team welcomes any customization challenge. The end result is a “one off” unique vessel should you wish it to be.
