CRN is an Italian shipyard within the Ferretti Group specialising in large custom aluminium motor yachts, typically in the 50 to 90 metre range. Their vessels are built to a rigorous standard informed by decades of large yacht construction, with access to the Ferretti Group’s pool of naval architects and interior designers. Chartering a CRN in the Windward Islands brings this engineering and design quality to one of the Caribbean’s most varied and rewarding cruising grounds.
CRN yachts in the Windward Islands charter market are substantial vessels, offering guest volumes and crew complements that allow extended weeks at sea to be conducted at a standard that larger charter groups find hard to replicate on smaller platforms. The beach clubs and exterior deck areas on recent builds are designed to engage with the Caribbean’s warm, clear water, and the structural integrity of aluminium construction makes these yachts well suited to extended tropical deployment.
Weekly charter rates for CRN yachts begin at around 200,000 euros in the Windward Islands, with the largest examples commanding considerably more. The advance provisioning allowance adds approximately 30 percent for fuel, provisioning and gratuity. The core Caribbean season from December through April is the primary booking window; CRN availability during this period requires advance reservation.
The Windward Islands provide an ideal canvas for a CRN charter. The chain’s variety, from Dominica’s volcanic drama to Grenada’s southern calm, rewards the range and comfort that a vessel of this scale provides.
