The Cranchi Sessantadue 62 distils three decades of Italian motor yacht building into a flybridge design that earned the European Powerboat Award 2025 in its class. Drawn by Aldo Cranchi with art direction from Christian Grande, the 62 anchors the yard’s Orizzonte series with a bold vertical bow and flowing profile that signals purpose without excess. At 20.23 metres overall and a 5.16-metre beam, the hull carries a 38,600-kilogram displacement with authority, driven by twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 pods delivering 2,000 horsepower through joystick-controlled drives. Teak runs from cockpit to saloon ceiling, erasing the usual break between outdoor and indoor spaces, while fold-flat glazing on both sides transforms the main deck into a single open veranda. Below, three ensuite cabins sleep seven across a full-beam owner’s suite, a forward VIP and a twin guest cabin, each finished in pale lacquer and warm timber tones. The flybridge adds a second helm station above a social area scaled for day hosting of up to sixteen guests. A 3,300-litre fuel capacity and CE Category B certification keep the 62 capable offshore, and the IPS drives deliver low-speed manoeuvrability that simplifies stern-to berthing in tight Mediterranean harbours. Available in Bianco Panama, Grigio Cosmo and Grigio Aurora hull colours, the Sessantadue 62 occupies a sweet spot between open-deck sportiness and flybridge comfort that larger Cranchi models sacrifice in one direction or the other.

Two Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 units push 2,000 combined horsepower through pod drives mounted beneath a 38,600-kilogram hull, a power-to-weight ratio that favours efficiency over raw speed. The IPS system, controlled via joystick at both helms, eliminates shaft-line drag and delivers fuel savings of roughly fifteen percent over conventional inboard setups of equivalent power. A 3,300-litre fuel tank gives the 62 legs for multi-day passages between Mediterranean islands or a sustained cross-Channel run. CE Category B certification confirms the hull’s offshore credentials in winds to Force 8, and the 5.16-metre beam keeps her stable at anchor in open roadsteads. Draft sits around 1.75 metres at the thrusters, shallow enough for most coastal marinas and anchorages.
Christian Grande’s art direction gives the Sessantadue 62 a signature vertical bow that cuts a profile distinct from the raked stems Cranchi used on earlier flybridge models. The hull sides carry a single crease line that visually lengthens the boat, while the superstructure glazing wraps far enough aft to flood the saloon with side light. On the main deck, the cockpit flows directly into the saloon through a full-width sliding glass door, and fold-down side panels turn the space into an open-air terrace. The aft platform sits at water level, wide enough for a tender or a swim grid, with steps that integrate into the transom without cluttering the deck. Forward, a broad sunpad and twin-sofa lounge offer a second social zone away from the helm and galley traffic.
Three cabins and three heads occupy the lower deck, arranged around a central corridor that runs the full length of the hull. The owner’s suite sits amidships, benefiting from the widest section of beam for a cabin width that rivals yachts ten feet longer. Forward, the VIP cabin fills the bow with a double berth and ensuite, while the third cabin offers twin berths convertible to a double. Total berth count reaches seven, with a dedicated crew space aft. Teak ceilings mirror the cockpit flooring above, an unusual choice that gives the cabins a warmth most flybridge yachts reserve for the exterior. Pale lacquer joinery, indirect LED lighting and full-height hull windows keep the lower deck feeling airy rather than enclosed.
The flybridge defines the Sessantadue 62’s social character: a full helm station, wraparound settee and wet bar sit above the main deck, giving the skipper a 360-degree sightline without isolating them from guests. Down on the main deck, the galley sits amidships between the cockpit and the saloon, allowing the cook to serve in both directions. When the side glazing opens, the saloon, galley and cockpit merge into one continuous entertaining space that stretches the full width of the beam. The cockpit table seats eight for dinner, and the forward lounge accommodates another four, meaning the 62 can host her full sixteen-guest capacity across three distinct zones. A retractable chaise longue at the stern provides a quiet reading spot at the water’s edge, separate from the main social areas.
Cranchi builds the Sessantadue 62 at its Piantedo yard on Lake Como, a facility the family has operated since 1870 and that now handles hulls up to 78 feet. GRP construction keeps maintenance straightforward, and the IPS drives simplify annual servicing with their modular access points. Three hull colour options, Bianco Panama, Grigio Cosmo and Grigio Aurora, cover the range from classic white to contemporary grey without venturing into colours that date. New pricing starts around EUR 2,500,000 for a base specification, climbing toward EUR 3,500,000 for a fully optioned build with upgraded electronics, teak finishes and tender garage modifications. The 62 sits in a competitive segment alongside the Azimut Magellano 66 and the Ferretti 580, but distinguishes herself with the IPS drivetrain and the indoor-outdoor flow that her fold-flat glazing creates.
