IN BUILD 2017 - CURRENT
PRICE RANGE £220,000 - £320,000
But Finnmaster’s output isn’t just limited to outboard-powered sports boats, the yard also builds a range of larger Grandezza sports cruisers and coupés from 25ft to 37ft, including this boat, the 34 OC. We tracked down this 2019 example being offered for sale through the marque’s UK importer, Gibbs Quay for £250,000, in Chichester Marina.
Launched in 2017 and still a current model, the 34 OC, which stands for Open Cockpit, succeeded the 33 OC, a substantially similar model apart from a shorter bathing platform and less glazing in the hull, which was built between 2013 and 2016. With an LOA of 32ft 11in (10.03m) the 34 OC is the second-largest model in the range, topped only by the 37 CA coupé (which impressed us so much that it won MBY’s 2021 Sportscruiser of the Year up to 40ft).
In addition to offbeat pastimes, the Finns are also pretty good when it comes to innovation – this is the country which gave us the sauna, SMS texting and some of the world’s most innovative brands (Botnia Targa, Axopar, XO and Saxdor among others).

Lofoten or Bust- Part 4- Grandezza owner Per Harrtoft heads back to Sweden after an epic 3500nm adventure deep into the Arctic Circle to visit the mythical Lofoten islands
After ten memorable days in the Lofoten Islands in the far north of Norway, we are on our way back south towards Sweden. We have already made it as far as Trondheim, a charming place even if it was raining so hard we had to cycle round the city centre clutching umbrellas. But now we are back on board Deamare, our Grandezza 40 Fly, eating up the miles at a steady 31 knots.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YACHT TRANSPORT
As the name suggests it's a means of having your boat moved professionally from one location to another. It might be as simple as hiring someone to tow your RIB a few miles down the road or as complex as shipping a superyacht halfway around the world.
