£129,000 Yacht Tour : 2009 Cranchi Endurance 41

Thank you Nick, I really appreciate when you feature smaller vessels in a reasonable price range. I understand that you get a lot less views on these than on the superyachts so a big thumbs up for your effort to have something for almost everyone on the channel. Although I watch every video you put out whatever the subject... :-)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@nathanrogers4144]

Just what I needed on a dull tuesday afternoon, thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure! 🙂

[@Huwberts_Emporium]

This is layed out perfectly, so well thought out, I'd honestly be happy living on that and cruising around, I think I've found my retirement plan!

[@KB-ut4xs]

I like that there is fender storage built into the forward rails. Thats a great idea. Not sure a boat this size needs a whole tender garage lol...fell like that space could be better utilized on interior or deck space. Still a great looking boat though!

[@andrewboland4042]

I’m waiting for you to say at the end of one of these “and I’ve just bought it” or similar

I'm not a boat owner but like most I could be and I've learnt more about boats from this man just by watching his great videos, so thank you for sharing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I appreciate that!

[@kreabea78]

That is a really nice and almost affordable weekendboat. Thanks again for a good review. I've learned more about yachts since I started watching your videos than the past 40 years all together.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome 🙂

[@arekpetrosian4965]

You know, for me, the wife, and our daughter, this is about all the boat we'd need. Darned near perfect for some day cruising, and the occasional over-night. Thanks, Nick!!

[@etc-and-more]

Day cruising? A small family could easily spend a week or two in the post-covid Bahamas on this boat (as long as it has air conditioning) travelling quickly between beautiful beaches and using the tender to have some great meals at the resorts.

[@bmpowellicio]

@@etc-and-more You'd be better off in the previous Cranchi, the Mediterranee 39 or 40 which has a more conventional arrangement for a family. A double bed up front, and a bunk room in the middle. Similar deck space because there isn't a garage. But you will need davits for the dinghy.

[@etc-and-more]

@@bmpowellicio Yes the more conventional layout works well for a family with teenagers or older kids but I think this works great if you have a kid or two who are pre-teen. We have a couple thousand miles on an Atlantique 40, much of the time with one or both of our 19-24 year old children and in our case the second cabin is essential for those times. Also works great as a storage room when the kids aren't with us (mostly storing their scuba gear). The great thing about the Endurance 41 is that by having the dinghy garage you don''t have to block the swim platform/main entry point of the boat with a hanging dinghy whenever you are in a marina. As they say, all boats are compromises.

[@philly9375]

I truly look forward to each and every boat tour you show us. It really makes me want to get into boating. One day, I will. Also, thank you for the waving while in front of a mirror. It adds a humorous personal touch. Keep up the awesome tours!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@zucods]

What a looker! That's a lot of boat for the price! Great layout, with the big table on the front. Just put a small generator in and should be a perfect weekender.

[@trja900]

The big sun pad on the back is a brilliant touch!

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Brilliant Smugglers 111? Loved the fender baskets and storage hidden in the steps 👍🏻

[@chriswelch9418]

A certain person seemed quite smitten 😍 by this..... Got to say great layout whether out as a family or just as a couple, also nice to see a good size cabin in the rear, not claustrophobic in height or darkness.... so I’d happily put the kids in there or ourselves if just us... Great vid on a lovely boat and looking forward to the next one ☝️ 👍🏻🙌

[@alejandroalvarez29]

Great video as always! Would really like to see an Fjord 40

[@OswaldCampbell]

In as much as I'm in love with sails lately, I really like the layout of this... really a well thought out comfortable design.

[@johnpower2692]

Surprisingly fresh looking interior for a 10+ year old boat. I'm not convinced that you weren't over-egging the pudding by saying "most" people would only ever use as a couple. I think there are at least equal, if not more owners, that have a combination of older children/grandchildren/friends who they regularly want to share the boating experience with. I'm sure next time you review a 40 footer for sale with two cabins you'll be sure to say you think that it's a waste of space because cabin two will hardly ever get used.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Plenty of families are boating and clearly the second cabin would not be a waste of space to them (or to people who regularly boat with friends). However having spent 20 years selling boats and 40 years around them, I'm going to stick with 'most' because for most of us, six figure boats don't come within range until long after the children have grown up and left home.

[@johnpower2692]

@@AQUAHOLIC For some, but even then there are grandchildren, and other older/retired friends with time to fill. For some a £130k boat is well within reach even with young families. As I said, I expect that when you next tour a 40 footer you'll say it has two cabins, but for "most" that's a bit of a waste because this boat probably only appeals to empty nesters who can afford it and a bigger galley area would be much more useful.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@johnpower2692 Actually, what I said was 'for a lot of people'. A boat with two cabins won't be a waste because that will appeal to a lot of other people with different requirements. It's why manufacturers don't make all boats exactly the same, people want and need different things.

[@johnpower2692]

@@AQUAHOLIC @5:16 "But as I say, for the way that MOST people use their boats this actually works really well...". So as I said, next time you review an owner operator boat of around 40 feet with more than one cabin, I'm sure you'll have the integrity to say "for the way most people use their boats, this won't actually work particularly well..."

Beautiful boat, well laid out and ideal for weekend or longer cruising, fit a radar and a small generator, and you can stay out for quite a while. Looking at the radar arch it even looks as if it would fold so even air draft could be reduced, also nice to see sensible grab rails and handles around the entry to the saloon from the cockpit, in conclusion a very nice modern looking reasonable priced boat, no Princess but not that price. Cheers Nick.

[@ggill1313]

What a boat! I think this one has excellent value proposition.

I like boat manufacturers that use all of the hull space. I was surprised by the tender compartment. Does this boat have the range to go places that don't have marinas? The only thing that I could complain about really is inadequate hand holds along the side decks. I'd hate to be grabbing that soft top to walk forward. Id rather have a hard top myself.

Great tour as usual Nick. This is one of the lower end scale boats you can buy, but its still 129k, which is still a lot of money.

[@Reznor_Meeks]

Greetings Nick, I could not help myself not to compare this Cranchi Endurance 41 to the Galeon 305 HTS your review from May 2020 Incredibly similar layout, but in ways so close yet so far one to another, especially in terms of materials, the Endurance 41 seems to have a bit more "fluf" and certainly more punch as far engines goes, tho the 305 HTS seems to be a newer boat with more simple materials perhaps to maintain(?!) Both with very interesting design languages, that sort of " out the box designs, one could argue for better or worse haha! Just thought on share how the 305 HTS came to mind immediately after watching this review! Just a little friendly feedback, we your loyal crowd, we can't wait Nick till you upload a 4k camera/video, black friday is around the corner ;) All the best sir, cheers!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's an interesting comparison. The Galeon will do pretty much most of what this boat will, and cost less to run. However in terms of performance, seakeeping and sheer space on board, this is in a totally different league. All boats are a compromise though, it all comes down to requirements and budget (both to buy and run it).

[@ynot0714]

Love the boat. Strange that there isn't a little door at the back of the sun deck. Nice video Nick !

Tender garage or children's room... lovely boat. Cranchi really get their design and finish right

Quick question , if the microwave oven only works on shore power the obviously that also applies to the TV i take it (and lighting )? Small generator would give the boat a huge lift. Cracking boat all the same.
