Cranchi A46

Onboard the Cranchi A46

The Cranchi A46 is built around its walkaround deck, a layout that lets guests move freely from bow to stern without cutting through the cabin below. At 14 metres, it carries up to 10 guests for a day on the water with genuine space to spread out — sunpads forward, seating aft, and a helm position that keeps the cruising line clean and open. With a cruising speed of around 34 knots, it covers ground quickly, which matters when the day's plan includes more than one stop along the coast.

Based out of Mallorca, the A46 suits routes that mix pace with pause: a run along the Bay of Palma toward Illetes, or east toward the calas beyond Porto Cristo, where the walkaround deck earns its keep for swimming and boarding. Its speed also makes longer single-day loops practical — reaching quieter anchorages further from the main marinas without losing hours to transit, then returning at a comfortable pace as the light softens.

This is a yacht suited to smaller groups and families who want a fast, open-plan boat rather than a formal superyacht experience — couples wanting a private cala to themselves, or a group of friends splitting the day between cruising and swimming stops. The two cabins below give the option of a short overnight if the itinerary calls for it, though the A46 is best matched to day charters and half-day plans where its speed and deck layout are put to full use.
