Cherubini Classic 20: Baby Grand
Retro styling, real mahogany, and an Italian pedigree make the Cherubini as much art as boat. By Lenny Rudow - September 16, 2011

The top names in exotic motor vehicles Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ducati all share one thing in common: an Italian design that mixes gripping styling with shocking performance. When it comes to boats, however, most of us think Americans rule the roost with names like Fountain, Skater, and Adrenaline.

Then you see a Cherubini Classic 20, and realize that those pasta-loving people from a boot-shaped country just can't be topped when it comes to combining eye-appeal and high-octane horsepower.

The Cherubini soothes your eyeballs with mahogany decks and trimmings, polished to a glow through a month-long process of long-board sanding and 10 separate roll-and-tip applications of varnish. The mahogany is real planking, not a veneer and it makes the wood finish on most modern powerboats look as fake as a ten dollar Rolex. Probe into the Cherubini family's history and this kind of craftsmanship seems natural; Luigi Cherubini was an Italian composer said to be a favorite of Beethoven, and his descendants include a long list of world-famous piano builders, sculptors, and yes, boatbuilders.

Hidden beneath the sculpted exterior lies a 250-hp Mercury Optimax two-stroke coupled to a jet drive (stern-drive models are also available), which blasts this little cherub to a 52.1-mph top end. Though any speed over 50 is impressive for a boat this small, it certainly isn't record-breaking; the real performance highlight of this boat is the handling. The finely-tuned steering system takes you lock-to-lock from full port to full starboard with a half-turn in either direction, allowing you to make 90-degree changes of direction with a mere twitch of the wheel. Put it hard-over, and the boat spins like a ballerina.

Ready for some real fun? Punch the throttle, then smash down the single-lever control and throw the boat into reverse. With the jet drive you don't have to worry about blasting the transmission to smithereens, and it essentially allows you to throw on the brakes.

On the Cherubini I tested, however, you might also want to throw on the earmuffs. The Opti created a brain-numbing 110-dBA, which is about as loud as a car horn when you're standing in front of an open hood. Fortunately, this problem can be addressed with the addition of an optional muffler.

The Cherubini's looks and performance are backed up by relatively standard but beefy modern boatbuilding construction techniques. The hull is solid glass stiffened with glass stringers; bulkheads are tabbed in with fiberglass cloth, and the hull-to-deck joint is tied together with both mechanical fasteners and 3M 5200 adhesive/sealant. Hardware is spectacular, and even items that are commonly plastic or aluminum on most boats, like the windshield supports and light fixtures, are polished stainless-steel.

All that stainless matches the woodwork and retro styling, which also rules in the cockpit and at the helm. Inside this boat you'll find analog gauges and push-pull switches, not digital displays or lighted rocker switches. Naturally, the factory can install these contemporary controls if you force these artists to put function before form, you vulgar Barbarian. But in that case, I wouldn't expect them to give you the complimentary Luigi Cherubini music CD that usually comes with this high-style, high-octane, highly exotic motor vehicle.

*broker note: this vessel is equipped with the optional muffler.

Manufacturer Description

The Cherubini Classic 20

 Sleek, beautiful lines shape a high performance hull and create an energizing water experience like no other. You're at the helm of a vintage craft that is engineered in the 21st century traveling through time. It's the best of past and present. Finished with breathtaking mahogany decks and luxurious upholstery echoing the finest luxury automobile, the Cherubini Classic 20 will take you to an entirely different place.

Fast, smooth and dry by design!
The original boats of the early 20th century that inspired this runabout had very hollow, concave bow sections running back to very flat sterns. They were fast, but they pounded in waves and were very wet. The unique Cherubini Classic runabouts have convex sections forward running back to a constant deadrise V-section aft.

We know that for any given weight, as the beam gets wider, the deadrise angle has to reduce. We chose a beam of 6'-10" and a deadrise angle of 20° which gives us good flotation to weight ratio. So ultimately, the hull design of the Cherubini Classic 20 provides a fast and dry ride for the helmsman and passengers.

Lifting strakes at the chine run the full length of the hull with a slight downward angle forward and a horizontal run aft. From our current powerboat design science we know the proper relations between center of pressure, center of profile area, and center of gravity. We hit a home run with this combination because the Cherubini Roaring 20s are fast, stable in turns, and push softly through oncoming waves. Driving one is like driving a Porsche with Rolls Royce suspension.

The real thing.

The deck of the Cherubini Classic runabouts is made of the finest mahogany with tight grain for lasting quality and beauty. The decks are finished with more than a dozen protective coats of luminous varnish. Decks can also be produced with gel coat and non-skid surface for lower maintenance.

Pure strength.
Cherubini Yachts Classic 20 is engineered with resin infusion technology, one of the cleanest fiberglass manufacturing processes ever developed. It produces laminates with the strongest and stiffest mechanical properties, and more consistently, than traditional FRP processes.

Raw power, custom comfort.

As with all the our runabouts, she can be outfitted with outboard or inboard power as well as jet packages with gas or diesel engine. With standard power, this beautiful high performance runabout will easily cruise at more than 30 knots while sprinting at an exhilarating 44 knots when you need to race the weather, or just for the fun of it.

The Cherubini Classic 20 is designed for comfort. The skipper has a clear view forward from a sitting position, where he or she is protected from wind and spray by the windscreen. There isn't the need to stand as you would need to in conventional modern speed boats. All seats provide plenty of leg room, with luxurious cushions and bolsters designed and built for a relaxing yet energizing ride.
