CRN is an Italian shipyard based in Ancona, producing custom composite motor yachts with a tradition of building large vessels to individual client specifications. The yard’s output tends toward the upper end of the size range, with many builds between 50 and 90 metres, and the interiors reflect the level of bespoke finish one expects from a fully custom production process. Charter yachts from CRN available in the Anegada area number around four, each representing a significant custom investment and offering interior volumes that suit large charter groups well. Weekly charter rates for a CRN in the Anegada area start near 140,000 euros in low Caribbean season and rise to 500,000 euros or more for the largest examples during peak December to April weeks. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, food, BVI harbour fees and onboard expenses. Anegada’s position at the northernmost point of the BVI makes it the natural starting or ending point for a circular charter that covers the island chain from the top down. The Settlement’s lobster restaurants are a well-known fixture for any visiting charter crew, and the beaches of Loblolly Bay and Cow Wreck Beach offer undisturbed swimming that larger yachts need a quiet anchorage to fully enjoy. From Anegada the circuit runs south through the channel to Virgin Gorda, then west to Tortola, Jost Van Dyke and Norman Island for a comprehensive week’s cruising.
