Our analysis
Aesthetics & general condition
🧱 The Cranchi Mediterrannée 50 boasts elegant, timeless lines typical of Italian production in the mid-2000s. The design favours sportiness and user-friendliness, with vast outdoor spaces and a fluid flow of traffic on board.
The interior woodwork is in excellent condition, showing that the boat has been respected and looked after. The exterior upholstery is clean and well protected, contributing to a uniform and reassuring overall appearance for a boat of this age.
Engines and technology
⚙️ The unit is powered by two 715hp Volvo Penta D12 shaft drives, with a total of around 1,500 engine hours. This level of hours is consistent for this diesel engine, which is renowned for its robustness, torque and longevity, provided it is properly maintained.
Shaftline propulsion offers a simple, reliable and durable solution, with operating costs generally better controlled than more complex systems. The presence of a generator, watermaker and bow thruster increases autonomy and ease of use.
Price positioning analysis
📊 Analysis of comparable units on the France/Italy market for 14 to 16 m opens, powered by shaftline bi-diesel, shows a wide disparity depending on actual condition and mechanical follow-up.
Boats in the lower end of the market often have tired engines or deferred maintenance. The middle of the market is made up of boats that have been properly maintained, with consistent equipment but few recent refits. At the top end of the market are boats that have benefited from significant mechanical and cosmetic work.
This Cranchi Mediterrannée 50 is located in the core market, This positioning could be towards the top end of the range if engine maintenance is confirmed and the work identified is properly incorporated into the price.
RivieraBroker analysis & advice
📌 This Cranchi Mediterrannée 50 is aimed at a buyer looking for a spacious, seaworthy, high-performance open with real coastal and island cruising capability, particularly in the Mediterranean.
💡 Volvo D12 shaftline engines are a major asset in terms of reliability and technical readability. The work to be carried out is identified, not structural, and must be included in the negotiations without calling into question the overall interest of the unit.
⚖️ As a sensible purchase, this boat offers a good compromise between sailing pleasure, space, performance and budget. It will be particularly well suited to owners who want to enjoy their boat immediately, while anticipating routine maintenance with peace of mind.
The team's advice
✔️ We recommend this Cranchi Mediterrannée 50 to the discerning buyer, who is more interested in mechanical reliability, ease of operation and real-world use than in cutting-edge design.
It's a coherent choice for a fast, user-friendly cruise programme in the Mediterranean, with an excellent ratio between services, performance and overall cost, provided the price is in line with the reality of the market and the work to be carried out.
