The Cranchi Settantotto is the new flagship of the Italian shipyard Cranchi, founded 150 years ago. A boat that has impressed with its sleek lines, garnering remarkable public and critical acclaim since its debut. It has won over not only with its exterior lines but also with its interiors, which feature highly interesting technical solutions and design choices. From the materials selected to the color schemes developed in collaboration with designer Christian Grande, the atmosphere aboard the Cranchi Settantotto is that of a welcoming, elegant, yet relaxed boat—just as one would expect from a flagship.

In perfect harmony with these art direction choices, the Settantotto has been furnished with pieces from the collections of Flexform, a historic Italian furniture brand.
To furnish the living room, Christian Grande chose a corner configuration of the Adda seating system paired with Fly coffee tables, both designed by Antonio Citterio.
Feel Good armchairs —also designed by Antonio Citterio and upholstered in fine leather in a striking shade of orange—have been placed around the table.
The aft area has been transformed into an outdoor lounge dedicated to relaxation, featuring Alison Outdoor armchairs designed by Carlo Colombo paired with Fly coffee tables: the result is a lounge area with a “cocoon-like” feel. Alternatively, this space can be set up as a veranda with a table that is both practical and elegant.
Among the many customization options that Cranchi Yachts offers through its Cranchi Atelier customization program, owners of the Settantotto can choose interior elements and accessories inspired by collections curated in collaboration with Christian Grande, while relying on the guidance of the shipyard’s designers.
