Chase 34 is a completely new and revolutionary powerboat concept. The idea comes from the car industry,,, 15 years ago our typical costumers drove luxury sedans, now the market has moved towards more user friendly and sporty high-performance SUV's, such as Range Rover and Porsche Cayenne. But we couldn’t see any equivalence when it comes to powerboats.
You can buy a fast ocean-going RIB, with excellent rough-sea capacity, or you can buy the comfort and quality feeling of a high-quality Day Cruiser. But for most customers the high-performance RIB alternative is too basic and minimalistic for multipurpose family use and most Day Cruisers simply don't have the performance, rough sea capability and sporty feeling many customers look for. Cormate want to eliminate this dilemma by making a high-performance SUV for the water. A boat which combines the rough sea capability, user-friendliness and speed from the best offshore RIB's, and the comfort and luxury feeling of the high-quality Day Cruisers. |
Advanced Construction
The Chase 34 hull is a development of our very
advanced and efficient Monostep technology, However, the length/width
ratio is inspired by the real ocean going offshore racers from the
60'ties and 70'ties. These tough races were dominated by Ray Hunt and
Don Aronow hulls, before the races was moved to more shelter waters.
These boats had 24-25 degrees deadrise and often a 4:1 length/width hull
ratio. This ratio was an excellent compromise between the need of high
speeds in flat and choppy waters, and a safe hull with enough
hydrodynamic bow lift and buoyancy for the toughest ocean racing.
A 4:1 hull ratio is considered extreme by todays standard and few boats of Chase 34's size have this high ratio. The downside is normally less usable cockpit volume, however the Chase 34 has very clever usage of each cm of width, and the interior cockpit volume is comparable or even better than many competitors of the same size.
The external width is 255 cm (263 cm with heavy duty rub rail). The makes the Chase 34 easily trailable and even transportable in an open sided container. The narrow beam and the use of; vinylester, unidirectional fiberglass, high quality core materials and infusion technology, makes the boat extremely rigid, strong and light. The rigid and compact hull, the 24,5 degrees deadrise and the 4:1 hull ratio make the Chase 34 cut through big waves in an extremely soft way, without the discomfort of slamming. The reverse rake windshield gives better wind and weather protection, especially when driving half standing in the offshore seats. It also gives more cockpit volume, reduces disturbing reflections with better visibility in rain. All these construction parameters make this boat very suitable as a Chase boat for the Superyacht market.

High Performance & High Quality
Cormate Chase 34 available with either outboard or sterndrive power... Due to her highly efficient and advanced stepped hull and the low weight, the Chase 34 has an exceptional low fuel consumption rate and high top-speed. With a single Mercury 370 hp TDI V8 diesel she will reach 46 knots, with fuel consumption of only 1,15 l/nm at best cruising speed (subject to sea state). With 2 x Mercury High Performance 540 engines, the top speed is calculated to 80 knots.
Standard equipment includes; 2 x 12" Simrad chart plotter/echo sounder, inside and outside shower, integrated carbon toilet, automatic tap, harbor covers, electric windlass and bow thruster. Also standard is a wet-bar/galley "island" with sink, 70 L drawer refrigerator and Wallas double ceramic stove. To save weight it's no separate water heater, but electronically controlled/selected water temperature. The Chase 34 can also be delivered with; 100 W solar panel (no need for cable charging), digital antifouling system (can be driven by solar panel), joystick maneuvering with sky hook (on twin engine boats), full or half canopy/sprayhood and bimini top.
