Look closely and the A32 O/B already shows its character, right down to the roll bar and the bulwark that folds down to the water. The sportiest yacht in the Aria range. #CranchiYachts #Yacht #ItalianDesign

A week on from Genoa, and it already feels like the right way to open the autumn season. The yachts are back in home waters and the calendar moves on, but the show did what it had to do: it put the whole range in front of the people who came looking for it, up close, on the water.

The Design Innovation Award 2026 goes to A48 O/B, presented last night at the 66th Salone Nautico Internazionale - Genova. Now in its seventh edition, the award recognises research, creativity and sustainability in the marine industry. A48 O/B won in the Motorboats up to 14m LH category, a result that rewards both the design and the direction behind it: a model that extends our outboard range alongside E26 O/B and A32 O/B. Thanks to everyone on the team who carried A48 O/B from the first sketches to the water.

Guido Cranchi talks us through the direction Cranchi is taking, and why outboard propulsion is at the centre of it this year. An independent yard since 1870, still moving the way it always has. Watch the full interview below 👇.

A year of work on the new Cranchi visual identity, and Cannes Yachting Festival was the first time we built it at full scale. Our Exhibition Manager Carlotta Lucini takes us round the stand. The colours and where we found them, the materials, the graphics, and what changes when you can finally walk into it. #CranchiYachts #Yacht #ItalianDesign #AJourneyThatNeverEnds

The evening before Cannes Yachting Festival opened, we brought our dealer network together in the city for The Journey Ahead, our technical meeting. It was a chance to look back at the progress of recent years, and to be clear about where the yard is heading. Over the course of the evening we covered our new visual identity and the three colours that now define it, our growing outboard line, with the A48 O/B and the A32 O/B joining the E26 O/B, the model that started it all. And last, the A64 and the A47, the projects that point to what comes next.
