CRN, the Ancona-based Italian shipyard that specialises in large custom steel motor yachts, has built some of the most distinctive full-custom superyachts in the 50 to 90-metre range over the past four decades. Their yachts are characterised by complex custom construction, bespoke interior architecture, and a strong emphasis on the owner’s brief. The charter fleet includes a small number of CRN builds that have been made available to guests who want an unusually individual vessel in place of a production model. Chartering a CRN in Curacao puts this level of customisation in a Caribbean setting that rewards exploration and slow cruising. The island’s varied coastline, from the Spanish Water lagoon on the southeast to the open rocky northern shore, provides different sailing characters for different days. Willemstad’s harbour adds a cultural anchor that makes longer stays feel varied and stimulating. CRN charter yachts in this region typically span 55 to 80 metres, with accommodation for ten to sixteen guests across five to eight cabins. Steel construction means larger volumes are available at any given length compared with aluminium builds. Weekly rates reflect the bespoke pedigree, running from approximately 150,000 euros per week for the smaller CRN builds to 600,000 or more for the largest custom flagships in peak season. The 30 percent advance provisioning allowance covers fuel, provisions, drinks, and berthing. December through April is peak season in Curacao.
