The Cranchi A46 is a boat that opens up to the sea, which is exactly what a day on the water should do. Based in Monaco, she is beautifully placed for the coast that suits her best, the run along the Riviera and the string of coves and anchorages that follow. Her large teak deck sets the tone, and lateral openings fold out to bring the water and the panorama right into the living space, blurring the line between being aboard and being at sea. A refined hard top offers shade over the helm and the social area, welcome cover on a bright afternoon. At fourteen metres she is compact enough to feel personal, with two cabins accommodating four guests overnight and up to ten sharing the day. A single crew member keeps everything running smoothly. A hydraulic platform makes stepping into the water effortless, whether for a swim or to board the tender, and snorkelling gear is aboard for the clear water below. With a top speed of around thirty-five knots she has genuine pace, enough to reach a favourite spot along the coast and settle in for a long lunch. She is elegant and considered without ever feeling fussy, a boat that quietly does everything well. Slip out of Monaco in the morning and the day arranges itself from there. The only real decision is where to drop anchor and how long to stay.
