The Cranchi A46 Luxury Tender was designed by Christian Grande with and for Cranchi Yachts. Cranchi Yachts requested the ultimate "day boat" with enough amenities to comfortably be able to spend the weekend on the A46. They asked for a vessel with strong horizontal lines, a "plum bow", and great seakeeping! They also requested speed, maneuverability, with economy.

What came back from Christian Grande utilized the proven Volvo Penta IPS 650 power plant and was named the A46 Luxury Tender!
