2016 Cranchi ECO Trawler 53

 New Cranchi ECO Trawler 53 LD (2017) Volvo Penta 2xIPS 600 EVC/E (2x435 HP) Excluding Vat and delivery.

Broad and intrepid-looking, the Cranchi ECO Trawler 53 has a range of nearly 2,000 nautical miles at 7.5 knots. Four solar panels across the flybridge front also proclaim its eco-friendly status. The 53’s expansive split-level salon with exceptional headroom of 6 feet 9 inches enjoying large windows everywhere, except for a few structural columns amidships and at the stern.

A stunning boat boasting a retractable canvas Bimini on the foredeck, a three-panel cockpit door that slides open to fully connect to the salon, and mesh screens on the hatches clearly showed the designers were thinking about live-aboards rather than weekenders. The natural light and uncluttered layout in the rear section of the salon, with the galley portside leaves a sense of open space.

Finished to a high standard including raised-grain oak panelling, suede and leather headliner squares, smooth-finished elm shelves the salon has a more than luxury feel. Every design feature made sense on a trawler where every inch matters. The picture window that divides the starboard lounge and helm area is a great example.
