Exterior & Decks

Interior & Accommodation

Performance & Machinery
Powered by twin 270 hp diesel Volvo Penta D4 engines with sterndrive. Dry displacement ≈ 7,250 kg; fuel 600 L; water 190 L. Draft (incl. props) ≈ 1.00 m.
As she is only lightly used 100 hours, mechanical condition should remain good. Typical cruising speeds on Z35 with these engines lie around mid-20s knots, with higher potential when conditions and load allow (many Z35 reports show top speeds in low 30s kn range).
Navigation & Electronics
Standard navigation and systems arrangement as per stock Z35 (helm console opposite cockpit seating, galley to starboard). Garmin navigation equipment.
Classification
Design certified CE Category B. Hull by Aldo Cranchi; naval architecture by Centro Studi Ricerche Cranchi.
Layout & Operation
Two-cabin layout plus convertible saloon berth gives flexibility for owners cruising with family or friends. The modest draft and twin engines with sterndrive make her manageable in many marinas and coastal harbours. Likely operated by owner or minimal crew — ideal for private use rather than full charter.
Commercial Notes
Suitable as a sporty weekend cruiser or coastal cruiser for 4–5 persons. Low hours and modern build reduce expected maintenance overhead vs older craft.
Broker’s View
The 2023 Cranchi Z35 offers a rare combination of sporty performance and day-boat comfort in a just-over-11 m package. With twin Volvo Penta engines, two full cabins plus extra saloon berth and modest draft, she presents a compelling option for a Mediterranean-ready cruiser. Given the low engine hours and strong build pedigree, she represents excellent value for a discerning owner seeking versatility without needless bulk.
