The Grandezza 34 Outboard is in the spotlight once again, having been selected as a finalist for the Best for Family category of the prestigious Best of Boats Awards 2026. The finalists were officially announced at the Cannes Yachting Festival on September 9th. The nomination recognises the Grandezza 34 OB as a compelling choice for families looking for a combination of comfort, versatility, performance and enjoyable time on the water.
The nomination follows a successful season of testing and international attention for the new model. During the Finnmaster Boats’ Press Day in Tanum, Sweden, multiple marine publications tested the Grandezza 34 OB in challenging early-season conditions. These tests highlighted boat’s advanced hull, dynamic handling and impressive performance, describing the 34 OB as an exceptionally capable and agile cabin cruiser. Powered by twin Mercury V8 300 hp outboards, this model combines the performance of a sportsboat with the comfort and functionality that define the Grandezza cabin cruiser range for families.
For the company, this nomination represents an important acknowledgement of the 34 OB’s ability to bring together Finnish craftsmanship, family-friendly cruising and exhilarating outboard performance — qualities that make it a strong contender in this year’s Best for Family category.
