The Cranchi A64 is a bold new addition to the Italian builder’s luxury sport yacht range, designed for owners who value both performance and refined living aboard. At 20.23 metres overall, the A64 fills a key gap in Cranchi’s lineup between the successful Sessantadue 62 and the flagship Settantotto 78, offering a generous beam of 5.16 metres and thoughtful naval architecture by Centro Studi e Ricerche that delivers a well-balanced hull with predictable handling in open water.nnPowered by twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 engines producing 2,000 HP combined, the A64 benefits from Volvo’s proven pod-drive system for precise manoeuvrability in tight marinas and efficient cruising offshore. The IPS configuration also frees up interior volume, allowing the design team led by Christian Grande to create an open-plan saloon with full-height glazing and seamless transitions between the cockpit, aft deck, and interior entertaining areas.nnBelow deck, three well-appointed cabins and three bathrooms sleep up to six guests overnight, while the yacht is certified for 16 day guests, making her a natural choice for coastal entertaining and island-hopping weekends in the Mediterranean. The hull design by Aldo Cranchi draws on decades of family expertise in GRP construction, with a semi-displacement form that balances comfort at displacement speeds with the ability to push into higher speed ranges when conditions allow.nnPreviewed at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 with her world premiere scheduled for 2027, the A64 represents Cranchi’s latest thinking on what a modern 66-foot sport yacht should offer.

Christian Grande’s art direction gives the A64 a muscular yet flowing profile, with a raked windscreen, integrated hardtop, and a hull-side crease that runs unbroken from bow to transom. The design avoids visual excess; instead it relies on proportion and clean surfacing to project a sense of purpose. At 5.16 metres of beam the A64 is wide for her length, and Grande uses that width to create expansive side decks and a substantial cockpit that does not feel squeezed. The transom opens to a full-width swim platform, a feature now expected in this size range but executed here with a level of integration that keeps the stern clean and functional. Forward, a dedicated sunpad area and a secondary seating arrangement offer separation from the cockpit for quieter moments underway.
Centro Studi e Ricerche, Cranchi’s long-standing naval architecture partner, has developed a GRP semi-displacement hull form for the A64 that aims to deliver comfort across a wide speed envelope. The hull design by Aldo Cranchi himself reflects the family’s deep understanding of fibreglass lamination and structural engineering, with a displacement of 35,000 kg that provides the mass needed for a stable, soft ride without excessive wetted surface at rest. Variable geometry deadrise transitions smoothly from a sharper entry forward to a flatter run aft, helping the hull settle onto plane without the abrupt transition sometimes felt on heavier sport yachts. While Cranchi has not yet published draft, top speed, or range figures (the specifications remain listed as preliminary), the twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 powerplant, producing 2,000 HP combined, is a well-proven choice for yachts of this size and weight class.
The selection of Volvo Penta’s IPS 1350 pod-drive system is a defining decision for the A64. IPS pods mount forward-facing propellers beneath the hull, improving fuel efficiency by up to 30 percent compared with traditional shaft drives, according to Volvo’s own data. For the owner, the practical benefits are immediate: joystick docking, reduced noise and vibration, and a shallower running draft that opens up anchorages and marinas inaccessible to deeper-draught alternatives. The A64’s fuel capacity of 3,300 litres is generous for the class and should support meaningful cruising range once official figures are released. Systems integration follows Cranchi’s established approach of centralising monitoring and control through a digital helm station, with engine data, navigation, and onboard systems accessible from multifunction displays.
The interior layout, under Aldo Cranchi’s design direction, makes the most of the A64’s beam and the volume freed up by the IPS installation. The main deck features an open-plan saloon with a galley to port and a dinette to starboard, connected to the cockpit through wide sliding doors that erase the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. Full-height glazing on both sides floods the saloon with natural light and provides panoramic views at anchor.nnBelow deck, three cabins are arranged around a central companionway. The owner’s suite is located amidships in the widest and most stable part of the hull, with a private ensuite bathroom. A VIP cabin forward and a twin cabin to starboard each have their own bathrooms, giving the yacht three-cabin, three-bathroom accommodation that can sleep six overnight in comfort. Storage is well considered throughout, with hanging lockers, under-berth drawers, and dedicated luggage areas that reflect real-world cruising needs rather than showroom appeal.
Positioned at an estimated EUR 2,000,000, the Cranchi A64 enters a segment populated by established competitors from Azimut, Princess, and Ferretti. What distinguishes the A64 is its combination of IPS propulsion, a purpose-designed hull from a family-owned builder with over 150 years of boatbuilding heritage, and an interior that prioritises livability over visual drama. For buyers who plan to use their yacht actively rather than simply own one, the A64’s emphasis on handling, fuel efficiency, and practical accommodation makes a compelling case.nnWith CE type approval still pending and production deliveries not expected until after the 2027 world premiere, the A64 is best understood today as a strong declaration of intent from Cranchi: a modern, well-engineered sport yacht that fills a gap in their range and deserves a place on the shortlist of any buyer considering a new 60 to 70-foot motor yacht.
