Introduction
The newborn in Cranchi Yachts' range is a Luxury Tender of 46 feet, with distinctive features that make it ideal as a dayboat or express cruiser.Looking at it, you immediately feel a sense of originality. You can feel the strength and beauty of an idea.
The designer Christian Grande wanted to emphasize the horizontal lines: the belt traces a very taut line without being interrupted by any other element or vertical sign. The accent marked by the belt is taken up by the lines of the glass body that characterizes the hull. It is a cut, essential, precise, but not aggressive.
Characteristics and Layout
The entire perimeter of the yacht can be traversed safely on walkable gunwales without encountering obstacles. So it is extremely comfortable to move from the middle of the boat, where there is the steering console, the bar, and the table, towards the bow and the stern, where there are more seats and comfortable spaces: it creates three centers of gravity well-spaced to each other and perfectly connected to offer the owner a safe place dedicated to pleasure, relaxation, and conviviality.
The yacht's authentic, vital, and emotional center is the elegant galley corner, equipped with a stove, sink, refrigerator, and ice machine to enjoy the best occasions of relaxation and fun, such as happy hour or meals. A table is located aft of the bar, offering spacious seating on both sides: a sofa towards the bar and, on the other side, the large stern sundeck that, thanks to the adjustable backrest, serves as a second sofa.
Forward of the bar, there is a triplet of seats facing the gear in an elegant, sporty style. The pilot is destined for the central seat, in front of which there is a large pilot console equipped with the best electronics available today to maneuver the boat and manage all the home automation and entertainment systems.
The driving position is sheltered by a wraparound windscreen and an extraordinary T-Top that is one of the authentic wow factors of the A46 Luxury Tender. Iconic for the beauty of its lines and the suggestive chromatic effect given by the carbon fiber, the full-width hard top deeply characterizes the aesthetics and the character of this Yacht. The cover is hi-tech, very light and resistant, with lighting and an integrated hi-fi system, but the sensations that can arouse are romantic. This is due to the blade system that allows the hard top to be opened in a few seconds, creating cuts of light and shade that give unique suggestions, ideally in tune with the refined style of the A46. The shade the hard top offers can also be extended to the rest of the co*ckpit, thanks to comfortable fixtures.
There is also a second sundeck in the bow, which, thanks to a configuration that recalls the classic Portuguese bridge, is perfect as additional seating.
Instead, the stern area is dominated by the large sundeck, which, as mentioned, can perform a dual function thanks to an adjustable and removable backrest that isolates the sofa, which looks towards the table in the middle of the boat.
To discover the most surprising feature of the A46 Luxury Tender, however, we must look at the sides of this sundeck. The upper edges of the sides are vast and offer comfortable additional seating, ideal for moments of informal conviviality. The bulwarks themselves can be opened with a servo-electric mechanism to considerably extend the surface of the co*ckpit (over 5 meters) with two terraces jutting out over the water, in complete continuity with the co*ckpit flooring. Here is yet another wow factor: space is expanded, and access points to the water are multiplied, with two platforms at the sides that are added to the aft platform, which can be moved in an up/down and transverse direction.
Under the stern sundeck opens a garage that can accommodate an inflatable tender up to two meters in length, for whose operations of putting in water and return is beneficial.
As is apparent, this yacht invites outdoor life; nevertheless, the shipyard has not neglected the spaces below the deck with elegant and highly functional convertible solutions. The dinette can be transformed into a sleeping area, and the comfortable aft full-beam cabin can also be converted. The bathroom has a separate shower cubicle.
Numerous solutions, both below the deck and in the co*ckpit, make it easy to connect to electronic devices: watertight USB sockets, universal wireless chargers for smartphones, and audio and entertainment systems that can be controlled from any position.
The new A46 Luxury Tender is powered by two Volvo Penta IPS D6 engines, each rated at 480HP (2x353 KW), guaranteeing optimal navigation and low fuel consumption.
Hull colors and décor can be customized with the Cranchi Atelier program to make this yacht's unique style, inspired by the savoir-vivre and pleasantness of Mediterranean culture, even more.
