Italian day boats with strong sea manners and Mediterranean styling flair.
Ranieri has been building boats in Calabria since 1904 and brings a distinctly Italian sensibility to the bowrider format. The Next and Voyager ranges include open day boats with forward seating, expansive sunpads, teak-look decking and sculpted topsides designed as much for a lunch stop off Capri as for a family ski session. Underneath the styling the hulls are serious: pronounced deadrise, sharp entries and well-developed spray rails give the boats genuinely good manners in Mediterranean chop, and Ranieri's deep-V designs are respected by owners who cross open water regularly. Fit-out is premium, with quality upholstery, tidy fibreglass mouldings, integrated coolers and often a concealed head compartment. Outboard power dominates the modern range, keeping the cockpit clear and simplifying maintenance. Ranieri is best known across Southern Europe, with growing dealer coverage in Northern Europe and the Middle East. Used examples are less common outside the Mediterranean but represent good value for buyers who want European style and seakeeping.
