Cranchi A46

Onboard the Cranchi A46

The Cranchi A46 runs 14 metres and carries up to 10 guests, with four cabins below giving it more standing headroom and change-space than most boats in the day-boat class. Cranchi's layout keeps the cockpit and aft deck open for lounging and dining, while the cabin arrangement below means guests can shower, change or get out of the sun without cutting the day short — a useful detail for longer charters that start early and run past lunch.

Based in Saint-Tropez, the A46 suits a group heading out into the Gulf for a few hours on the water — anchoring off town in the sheltered depths south of the port, or running across toward Sainte-Maxime and back within a single afternoon. Ten guests is enough for a client lunch on deck with the village and hillside in view, or a family split between sun deck and shade without anyone feeling boxed in. Its size also makes it a practical choice for a tender-assisted stop near Pampelonne, where guests can be ferried ashore to a beach club while the boat holds position offshore.

Groups considering the A46 should treat the guest count as a working limit rather than a target — ten on board with gear, towels and lunch service is a fuller boat than ten on paper. It works well for corporate outings that want a private deck for a few hours rather than a full-scale event, and for families or friends who want cabin space in reserve without booking a much larger yacht. As with any day charter from Saint-Tropez, confirming route and timing with the captain in advance — particularly for a Pampelonne tender stop or a Gulf anchorage in peak July and August — makes for a smoother day on the water.
