This sports cruiser can comfortably accommodate a family or guests for an overnight or weekend stay in a spacious owners' cabin and guest cabin with twin berths that can convert to a double. There is ample space above and below deck for up to 10 people, making the Cranchi Zaffiro 34 an ideal boat for a party. A large swim platform provides space for watersports activities and is big enough for a tender. The Cranchi 'Zaffiro' (it means sapphire in Italian) 34 truly is a jewel in the crown of the Cranchi stable. She's powered by twin 230hp Volvo, driving through Volvo Duo Prop sterndrives. These give some performance benefits over shaft drives, even if they are not quite as maneuverable around the marina. And one of these advantages, rarely considered by boat buyers, is the lack of exhaust smoke from the legs around the stern. To appreciate the Zaffiro 34's excellent handling ability, you only have to take a look at her hull its classic Bluewater. She boasts a sharp entry deep-vee hull, with oversized chines that extend well forward, all the way to the bow. These control the hull's lateral stability and even though the hull isn't overly flared at the bow, the chines ensure water and spray is thrown down and away from the hull as the boat slices through the swells. Out on the water with a clean bottom, the hull/engine combination recorded 12.4 knots at 1800rpm; and 34 knots at 3600rpm. With a dry weight of 6100kg, this boat is no lightweight, but this weight also contributes to the hull's excellent ride over rough water and helps eliminate noise being transmitted through the hull. The ride is stable and surefooted. The boat tracks straight, even in a following sea and the bow reacts almost instantly to even minute movements of the helm. Throttle controls are smooth, as is the entire operation of the boat when underway. Smooth, hassle-free and extremely user-friendly. Cranchi blends its use of materials and textures perfectly to offer classic elegance in a comfortable, solid and easy to maintain the environment. The cabinetry and paneling is finished in Cherrywood, but unusually, this is an original pale shade, not at all what we have become used to in a Cherrywood finishes. But its paleness, coupled with the cream colors of the walls and roof, add to the light and airy feel of the main saloon. The below decks area is divi
