Which boat do you suggest

[simontyretown]

I find myself in boat market and extremely confused as what boat to buy with so many options my head is fried

I've been looking at boats for around €60-€80k with the intention of mooring in mallorca

Have never owned a sea bearing boat I don't know what to go for

I was looking at cranchi 39 endurance, then broker offer me a cranchi 34 zaffiro and then found a cranchi 37 smeraldo

Are this good boats in general? Or is cranchi a bad design?

My plan is to stay on boat for weekend breaks 2 adults and 2 children

Would love any advice

Have you got a berth in Mallorca? It’s one of the most expensive places in Europe to park a boat. Until that’s sorted do not worry about what you buy.

Cranchi, good Med choice, any of those might suit your needs, bigger is better but costs more in every direction

What’s wrong with keeping your boat in Ireland.

Would agree with this, not sure about the situation now ,but a while ago it took several personal visits by a friend to convince the marina of his choice that he was seriously interested in getting a berth for his boat and not just another rain soaked UK dreamer wasting everybodies time.
Phone calls and emails did not cut it, visits to marina office eventually did.
He wanted to get into a specific small marina and have a suspicion they were checking him out as to if they wanted him there , after about a year offered him a berth.

At one time it was virtually impossible to get a berth in a very posh marina nearbye, however moorings did start to appear as time went past
May be easier to get a berth more quickly now ?

Yes it's definitely not easy, and some of the smaller marinas seem to be holding spots for Spanish natives

Cranchi are good boats. The 39 doen´t have two enclosed staterooms which to me would be a minus. KAD44´s would be the right choice over KAD300´s. Never 39´s comes with D6/DPH which I would stay away from. Sun bed is a big plus on the 39
The 34 comes with KAD43´s which is a big plus. No EDC and less electronics. Definitely the best motor in these boats
The 37 looks a bit old compared to the 34 and 39 but a nice boat though

Agree with Cranchi. Very popular in the Med and easy to sell on come the day. Also agree with KAD43, there are too many posts here about EDC’s in limp mode due to a plethora of connection and electonic failure problems often needing expensive replacement if available.

Thank you for advice

34 sounds the ticket? Has anyone spent over night stay on these would it be ok for family of 4 2 adults and 2 young children??

And just as one last curve ball targa 34 but maybe slightly older.... are they worth the money???

Sorry to keep pesturing you all

Yes lots of folk in the Med spend weeks doing just that. Targa 34 and the very spacious Sealine S34 both excellent boats.
Don’t worry about pestering it’s what we do!!
ps Check out Bavaria 34. An excellent budget boat.

That size works great for a family of four
Targa 34 is smaller in the cabin. Especially the front stateroom where the bed is smaller than other boats
As mentioned Sealine 34 is also a good suitable boat. Minus is the swimplatform which by the way is great on the Cranchi 34
My advice is to look at a bunch of models to find out which one you like the best

Thank you all

I'm going over to mallorca to have a look at this cranchi 34 that broker offered me, says there is a deal to be had with it

You need a berth more than you need a deal! Hopefully the two things can be combined!

Your not joking, berths are proving exceptionally hard work

 

[stelican]

Maybe the broker can help.
Is the boat currently on a berth.
