Founded in 1870, Cranchi stands as one of Italy’s longest-established yacht builders, with more than a century and a half of uninterrupted boatbuilding heritage. Based in Lombardy near Lake Como, the shipyard has evolved from artisanal wooden boats into a modern industrial producer of motor yachts, while remaining firmly family-owned. Today, Cranchi operates at scale, delivering consistent production volumes without losing sight of build quality or brand identity.

Cranchi’s approach centers on advanced manufacturing rather than customization. Resin infusion, controlled lamination environments, and standardized engineering processes allow the shipyard to maintain uniform quality across its range. Design collaborations, most notably with Christian Grande, bring cohesion across exterior lines, interior layouts, and onboard ergonomics, creating yachts that feel purposeful rather than experimental.

The current portfolio spans sporty open models, long-range cruisers, and flybridge yachts up to 78’ (23.8m). Series such as the Trawler line prioritize efficiency and ease of operation, while the Sportline and E Series focus on performance and contemporary styling. For owners seeking reliability, clarity of specification, and proven Italian production expertise, Cranchi occupies a well-defined position in the global motor yacht market.
