CRN is an Italian shipyard in Ancona, a Ferretti Group brand specialising in large custom steel motor yachts from 43 to over 80 metres. The yard has produced around 70 vessels since 1963, building each to owner specification and emphasising structural integrity alongside design freedom. CRN yachts carry notable beam relative to length, giving interior volumes that punch well above their overall length.
Four CRN yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean. The fleet covers a range from around 45 to 75 metres, with guest capacities of ten to twelve and crew of twelve to eighteen. Interior styles reflect individual owner briefs and span contemporary European to traditional formats. Beach clubs, tender garages, and stabilisation systems are consistent features across the fleet.
Weekly charter rates for CRN yachts in the Bahamas fall broadly between 100,000 and 400,000 euros per week, depending on size and specification. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, provisions, berthing, and crew gratuity. Caribbean season peaks from December through April. With four vessels, availability is limited compared to the wider Italian fleet, and early booking is standard practice for peak winter dates.
CRN steel hulls handle the open crossing from Nassau to Inagua without strain. Inagua itself offers a single-anchorage programme worth savouring: the flamingo reserve, the reef walls off the southern tip, and the bonefish flats around Union Creek are all within tender range of Matthew Town. A week here, for a group that values privacy and wildlife over nightlife, passes without any sense of repetition.
