Cranchi Sessantasette 67ft Corsa, the ultimate sportbridge
The Cranchi Sessantasette Corsa is the sporty version of the 21-meter flybridge of the same name. It retains a very elegant look while adding many details that enhance both its power and class.
“Corsa,” a term that evokes speed, power, and sportiness. And, above all, a distinctly Italian term, proudly emphasizing the all-Italian pedigree of this new jewel from Cranchi. This is how the shipyard has chosen to christen its new 21-meter yacht, the Cranchi Sessantasette Corsa, the boat that led the way, alongside other novelties, at the shipyard's stand at the last Cannes Yachting Festival 2024.
Sporty with plenty of class
The full name is ‘Sessantasette 67 ft Corsa,’ a designation that reveals much about this new sportbridge: it is, in fact, a version of the Sessantasette 67 ft presented in 2022, from which it clearly and explicitly derives.
The structure is the same, and there are obviously many similarities, but just one glance at the profile is enough to highlight the defining difference: on the Corsa, the third deck takes on the appearance of a mini flybridge without a t-top, maximizing the sleek profile expected from a sporty yacht.
The fly area can still be sheltered by a sunshade sail that attaches to four removable poles, which can be stowed in integrated lockers in the seating area.
The boat's lines are now more streamlined and sporty, enhanced by a more projecting pulpit compared to the standard version and numerous red details, a color traditionally associated with high-performance sportiness.
For example, the word “Corsa” in the boat’s logo and the upholstery trims are in red, such as the cord that connects the vertical (black) and horizontal (light) surfaces of the sunbeds and seating areas.
The main deck of Cranchi Sessantasette Corsa
The cockpit boasts even more space than the flybridge version, and the area sheltered by the upper deck extends deeper, with the possibility of opening the side windows of the wheelhouse for better air and light circulation, while it is fully open toward the sea at the stern, where an original sunbathing area is suspended over the swim platform.
The cockpit layout features an expandable table, a C-shaped sofa, a retractable TV, and a spacious dinette served by a fully equipped galley, all in a carefully crafted environment that exudes style and sophistication, creating an inviting atmosphere. This area can be used not only as an outdoor space but also as an indoor one, given the sheltered location and the fact that it is the only dining area on the main deck.
The salon is entirely focused on relaxation, with a large living area consisting of an L-shaped sofa, coffee table, armchair, and another living room unit. Forward, there is another, more structured kitchen compared to the outdoor one, while the helm is located on the starboard side.
Another beautiful living area is on the exterior forward deck. It's stunning in its layout, as it seems designer Christian Grande sought to create the shapes of an artistic work in designing this relaxation zone. The armchairs with semi-circular backs, embedded in the diamond-shaped sunbed, along with the sofa completing the living area, seem to define an imaginary design.
The lower deck of Cranchi Sessantasette Corsa
The lower deck layout replicates the flybridge version, with three or four cabins, plus a crew cabin for those who require it.
The owner’s suite spans the full beam amidships and is furnished with a double bed, wardrobe, a small lounge area with armchairs and a coffee table, and an office area, which is the space that can be used for the fourth cabin with bunk beds, should the four-cabin layout be chosen. The owner’s bathroom is equally elaborate, with three distinct sections: the toilet, shower, and a space with two sinks.
Naturally, the ensuite bathroom setup is also found in the VIP and guest cabins, both of which are doubles.
The crew accommodation is located aft, in a cabin next to the tender garage, furnished with two separate beds and a bathroom.
The Sport Fly of Cranchi Sessantasette Corsa
The Cranchi Sessantasette Corsa stands out from the flybridge version, primarily due to the difference in the upper deck. As already mentioned, this new model is designed as a variation closer to the world of open hardtop yachts but still remains a classy motoryacht for long cruises.
The upper deck is not a typical flying bridge in its usual configuration because it has a more square than rectangular shape, but it still offers the same usability of space.
This sport fly is equipped with a large aft sunbathing area, a C-shaped dinette with a kitchen unit on the opposite side, and a second helm station.
All of this is in an area that feels spacious without being overly compact, ensuring that both the furniture and the walkable areas are quite generous. It's also worth noting that the shorter length of the sport fly creates space in the forward section of the wheelhouse for a retractable roof that serves the salon below.
Décor options and customization
As with other large motoryachts, the Cranchi Sessantasette 67ft Corsa offers three décor options, each designed by Christian Grande with specific color tones, combinations, and materials. These setups are Siracusa, Pisa, and Milano (the latter being the one featured in all the interior photos in this article).
The shipyard also offers a customization service developed together with the owner within the Cranchi Atelier. Here, clients can choose from a wide and detailed selection of fabrics, materials, and colors, both for the interiors and exteriors.

Propulsion and Performance of Cranchi Sessantasette Corsa
Measuring almost 21 meters in length and 5.5 meters in width, the Cranchi Sessantasette 67 ft Corsa features the same propulsion setup as the flybridge model.
The engine room houses two Volvo Penta D13 six-cylinder inline engines, each delivering 1000 hp, paired with matching Ips1350 pods.
With this configuration, according to the shipyard's tests, the yacht can reach a top speed of 27 knots with a fuel consumption of 350 liters per hour.
For cruising speeds, the shipyard recommends cruising at 18 knots for optimal fuel efficiency, consuming 236 liters per hour, or at 22 knots for slightly higher consumption.
