Cranchi T55 Trawler (2019 - 2022) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the T55 Trawler delivers speeds of up to 21 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Cranchi T55 Trawler which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Gulf Craft 55 and Fairline 53 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the T55 Trawler features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom. Equivalently, the Princess F55 and Sirena Yachts 58 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Cranchi T55 Trawler has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 14 knots and a top speed of 21 knots. The Cranchi T55 Trawler emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Targa Targa 46 which has an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots powered by its twin 440hp Volvo Penta D6-440 engines and can reach a top speed of 40 knots. This is closely followed by the Fairline 53 with a notable cruising speed of 26 knots and top speed of 34 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Fairline 53 impresses with its extensive range of 867 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Targa Targa 46 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Princess F55 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Targa Targa 46 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Cranchi T55 Trawler stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
