Cranchi Z35 Review (2022 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

A main feature is the fixed bathing platform, which can hold a tender. There is storage space here and the boat's ladder, which can be reached from the water. Moving on to the boat's open cockpit area, there is plenty of space, making it an excellent place for socializing with friends while at anchor. Also featured here is the barbecue and sink area, as well as the fridge, which allow for easy catering in the outdoor space.

The helm has lift bolster seats that allows for a great view across the front whilst driving. The one-spoke steering wheel is showcased, along with the space for a multi-function display or engine instrumentation.

On the foredeck, there is a quick access route from the helm, which is handy for short-handed berthing. The anchor winch and a small seat on the front are other notable features.

Below deck, the layout is classic for a boat of this size, with a cabin at each end and a saloon in the middle. The cabins are found to be adequately sized with decent windows, and they have practical design details such as the storage spaces, and a galley with a two-burner gas hob and fridge.

There is ample headroom below deck in the yacht and a decent sized heads, which include a shower. The mid cabin is perfect for kids or friends, with ample storage and the ability to infill the space to make a double bed.

The engine room provides easy access to two Volvo Penta D4-270s. These can achieve a top speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 25 knots, reaching a range of 240 miles. Also mentioned is the manual bilge pump and diesel-fired heating.

Overall, Nick is very positive about the Cranchi Z35, stating that he would consider a boat of this style for his next purchase. He appreciates its practicality, the thought that has gone into its design, and its performance capabilities.
