Cranchi E52F Evoluzione Review (2019 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The yacht has a metallic silver spray-painted finish and black overhang, which are found to be attractive. In the cockpit there is the yacht's barbecue, a sun pad and seating area, which makes the yacht ideal for parties.

Nick then moves to the exterior of the yacht, explaining the differences between the E52F Evoluzione and its sister model, the E52S. He describes the latter as a sleeker, coupé-style design with a sliding roof and a low-level sunbathing area that also includes two bucket seats and engine and joystick control for driving the boat. This feature is clever and unique, as it allows for outdoor steering without compromising the boat's sleek design.

Returning to the E52F, the flybridge has an optional hardtop with glass panels that provide shade without blocking light. There is another barbecue, ample seating and a folding table for dining.

Moving inside, the Cranchi E52F has a galley-aft layout, which includes a lifting window that connects the interior and exterior spaces. There is beautiful contemporary Italian styling and a light finish, which makes the boat feel spacious. The galley is equipped with a four-burner hob, oven, fridges and an ice maker, features that are practical and convenient.

The saloon area is slightly raised, providing a great view out. The helm area has a classy look with skylights that can be opened for ventilation. Moving to the lower deck, there is more light wood interior, which also makes this area feel spacious. The VIP cabin features large hull windows and mirrored TV screens. The boat has two heads, one of which serves as a day head and is accessible from the passageway and the third cabin.

The master cabin feels roomy due again to the light finishing. Featured here is a double wardrobe, safe and massive storage, as well as an ensuite with a rainfall shower. 

The crew areais found to be compact but sufficient for occasional use or emergency sleeping. This area could be used as a massive storage area if preferred.

The engine room houses two impressive Volvo Penta D8 IPS-800 engines. These engines enable the boat to reach a top speed of over 30 knots and cruise in the low 20s, with a range of about 250 miles at normal planing cruising speed.

Overall, Nick is impressed with the Cranchi E52F Evoluzione's design, features and performance. He finds it a truly interesting boat to tour, and he appreciates the choices it offers to potential owners.
