Small, Italian, classy

The award went to A48 O/B in the motorboats up to 14m hull length category at the 66th Genoa International Boat Show. Now in its seventh edition, the award is organised by Confindustria Nautica with the Genoa International Boat Show, and recognises research, creativity and sustainability across the marine industry. Beyond the open A48 O/B changes the way you spend time at sea, and the clearest sign of it is at the stern: with the bulwarks folded down, the cockpit opens into one continuous beach area, and each side platform has a built-in step that takes you down towards the water. Forward, the new T-Top and wraparound windscreen shelter the cockpit without enclosing it. The proportions and the colour palette give A48 O/B the presence of a considerably larger yacht. The outboard range grows At 14.75 metres overall with engines, and powered by three outboards, A48 O/B continues a direction Cranchi has been following for some time, alongside E26 O/B and A32 O/B. https://www.cranchi.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/A48-OB-ORIZZONTALE_1.mp4
