Cranchi E30 Endurance Review (2022 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

This is a sports boat, not made to maximise accommodation but to give you a fun day out on the water. A large sun pad stretches across the back, with a big bathing platform behind it. It's made for relaxing at anchor, with people sitting around having a drink.

The cockpit can be enclosed with a door. There's access up both sides to the foredeck - one side slightly wider. The walk forward is easy, with deep bulwarks for safety, and the bow area has more sun pads.

A canopy frame is stored aft, which folds forward to become a bimini. The infill panels can also enclose the area completely.

The interior is compact but makes good use of the available space. It’s designed for weekend use rather than extended stays, with a dinette forward that converts to a double berth by lowering the table and adding an infill cushion.

A second double berth is tucked under the cockpit sole. This gives flexibility, either leave it made up and use the dinette as seating, or sleep four people on board. It works well for couples or families with young children.

There’s a stereo system below that links to the cockpit Fusion unit, and the interior is neatly finished with stylish upholstery and a clean layout. A microwave is built into the cabinetry, while most of the galley essentials, griddle, sink, fridge, are in the cockpit wet bar.

The electrical panel is split between 12V and 220V breakers, inside the cabin.  

The engine hatch lifts with a red button on the helm. It reveals a Volvo Penta V8 petrol engine producing 350hp. Top speed is around 35 knots, with a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots. Expected range is around 200 nautical miles, give or take.

The engine bay is clean and tidy. A hot water tank sits within, along with the fire suppression system, which is automatic. Additional storage space is available here, useful for small gear. A removable navigation light slots into place for running at night.

The E30 Endurance isn’t trying to be everything - it’s a sports boat first, with sleek lines and lively performance. But it also has the practical touches that make weekends on board easy. 

The cockpit is well arranged, with seating, a wet bar, and access forward for easy mooring. The helm position is outdoors, as it should be on a boat like this, with lift-up bolsters and all the controls where you need them.

Inside, there’s more accommodation than you might expect: two proper double berths, a usable galley setup, a separate heads compartment with pull-out shower, and comfortable seating.
