When we think of luxury, elegance, and innovation in the world of boating, one name that consistently comes up is Cranchi Yachts. With roots deep in Italian craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Cranchi Yachts have built a reputation that has propelled them to global recognition and celebration.
Founded in 1870 by Giovanni Cranchi on the picturesque shores of Lake Como, Italy, Cranchi Yachts began as a boat manufacturing company with a deep passion for quality and craftsmanship. Initially, the company focused on building wooden boats, which soon garnered the attention of enthusiasts and experts. Cars were not even on the road yet but Cranchi’s boats had already taken to the water.
The company transitioned from crafting wooden boats to embracing innovative materials like fiberglass in the 1950s, setting them apart from contemporaries. This shift marked the beginning of Cranchi Yachts drive towards modernity without compromising their classic Italian elegance. In the 1970’s, Tullio Monzino went into partnership with Aldo Cranchi, who represented the 4th generation of the Cranchi family and have continued together until today. Cranchi’s subsequent journey from a small boatyard to a leading luxury yacht manufacturer is nothing short of inspiring.
One of the defining characteristics of Cranchi Yachts is their continuous drive for innovation. Cranchi was one of the first companies to adopt fiberglass for the construction of yachts. This not only enhanced durability but also allowed for more intricate and modern designs. In the late 20th century, Cranchi incorporated Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in their design process. This allowed for unprecedented precision and creativity, ensuring each vessel not only met but often exceeded industry standards. Cranchi’s factories are among the most technologically advanced in the boating industry. Their investment in high-tech machinery and automation ensures every yacht is produced to the highest quality
Known for their sleek designs and luxurious interiors every Cranchi yacht boasts exquisitely designed interiors, from plush seating to state-of-the-art kitchens and spacious cabins. Cranchi offers various customization options, enabling owners to tailor their yachts to their personal tastes and preferences.
In 2020 Cranchi Yachts celebrated 150 years of history with the presentation of its new flagship model, the Cranchi Settantotto. The yacht's interior and exterior were crafted by Christian Grande in partnership with the yard’s research center. Its exterior is highlighted by a sleek, flowing profile with generous social and relaxation areas located at both the bow and stern on the open flybridge and main deck. Additionally, the yacht includes a substantial swim platform at the stern that lowers into the sea, converting the tender garage into a beach club. Inside, the spacious layout accommodates up to eight guests across four cabins, comprising three large double rooms and one twin room, including a full-beam master cabin situated in the yacht's center.
Cranchi Yachts’ motto is “Always grow, improve everyday.” With over 150 years of maritime excellence, the brand continues to thrive, innovate, and set benchmarks in the world of luxury boating.
