Harmony of form: CRANCHI SESSANTASETTE 67 FT

This yacht offers the best of Made in Italy design and style, superior technical solutions and an unmistakable and already iconic line

Here is the new yacht that will enrich the Cranchi flybridge range. With a length over all that exceeds 67 feet (20.8 meters), the new model is called Sessantasette, like the number, written in full in Italian. With the knowledge of the Cranchi Settantotto, the new Sessantasette also derives its extraordinary technological equipment with the adoption of hi-tech materials as well as a construction technique that has no equal in the world. The yacht will thus offer the highest safety standards and the best solutions for stabilisation, containment of consumption and emissions, noise reduction and home automation and entertainment systems.

Many of the Sessantasette’s key attributes can only be discovered by climbing aboard and experiencing them first hand. Prepare to be amazed as spaces and surfaces seem to expand and multiply. This feeling emerges most of all in the saloon – a refined living area, elevated by furnishings that lend a strong personality. Owners will be able to choose a sofa (measuring over two metres) from a selection offered by leading design houses. The square dining table with rounded corners comes with a choice of a bronze smoked glass or imperial grey marble top, and can be surrounded by eight chairs or armchairs. The other furniture and accessories have a contemporary and luxury finish, including a bookcase, a cabinet with retractable TV and an elegant sideboard equipped with wine storage.

The saloon is part of an open space area that also includes the galley and wheelhouse, but the whole zone is elegantly divided by a spectacular backdrop that separates the lounge and dining room from the service areas. The galley is fully equipped, with the option of a double-door fridge.

Space and volume appear to expand below deck as well, particularly in the full-beam owner’s cabin. The double bed is centrally placed and features a slightly curved headboard that draws around to embrace, enclose and lend an air of luxury. In addition to the walk-in wardrobe, the suite has ample space for a sitting area with armchairs and coffee table, and a large bathroom designed with three distinct areas: the toilet and shower are, in fact, in separate rooms from the bathroom with its two washbasins. In the three-cabin layout option, the owner’s suite also has an office area which faces outwards on one side, to make the most of the natural light, and has a full-wall mirror on the opposite wall to further extend the perception of the space. The VIP cabin and guest cabin are extremely spacious, both with their own bathroom and double bed. As an alternative to the office area connected to the owner’s suite, you can opt for a fourth cabin with bunk beds.

The cockpit is bordered in the stern with a large seating area which can be further extended with two armchairs or more and a low table, creating a lounge area that’s perfect for relaxing and welcoming guests as they come on board. The stand-out feature of the cockpit is the spectacular staircase leading to the flybridge. It’s a space that lends itself to being used at any time of the day, whether your “mission” is to sail, have lunch, enjoy a drink or relax.

Carry on up the staircase and you reach the third deck living area. This superbly equipped area features a wet bar or kitchenette, a TV cabinet and an elegant dinette with an extendable table surrounded by comfortable seating. The whole area is sheltered by a high-tech, lightweight and durable T-top.

In the stern of the yacht, there’s a large open terrace providing space for all your needs and offering the shade of a bimini. Equipped with a shower, it’s ideal as a sundeck with two sunbeds or chaise longues.

Back down on the main deck, two large and safe symmetrical walkways to the right and left of the deckhouse, protected by a high gunwale, lead to the innovative open-air living space created in the bow of the main deck. In addition to the large sundeck with adjustable backrest, this area offers a real living room set-up with a sofa and two facing armchairs with pivoting tables.

Equipped with a lift that allows it to rise, lower and move forward, the pilot station can be transformed into an immense terrace overlooking the sea. Opening the compartment door, the hangar is revealed. It’s so spacious that it can accommodate a tender of 3.25 metres.

Following on from the experience gained with the Settantotto, the new Sessantasette also features extraordinary technology including an advanced home automation system combined with entertainment devices, and most importantly a wealth of hi-tech materials.
