CRN was established in Ancona in 1963 and has delivered more than 200 full-custom motor yachts, a production volume unusual for a yard that builds entirely to order. Now part of the Ferretti Group, CRN has retained its Ancona identity and willingness to take on projects other yards decline, including naval architecture programmes past 60 metres in steel without sacrificing the open deck proportions that charter guests expect.
Four CRN yachts operate in the Anguilla and Caribbean charter market, covering a range from around 50 to 65 metres. Steel hulls give them a presence at anchor that aluminium equivalents cannot match, and the deck arrangements lean toward wide external entertaining areas suited to the Caribbean climate rather than the enclosed volumes that serve colder-water seasons. Interiors vary from owner to owner, reflecting the full-custom nature of each commission.
Charter rates in Anguilla vary with vessel length and specification. The advance provisioning allowance, typically 30 percent of the base rate, covers fuel, berthing, food, drinks and marina fees and should be factored into budget planning before signing heads of terms.
Anguilla protected anchorages handle CRN steel displacement hulls comfortably. Road Bay gives easy provisioning access via St Martin while smaller anchorages around the island remain quiet even in peak season. Four boats in the region means availability is not guaranteed at short notice, so booking a CRN charter in Anguilla benefits from planning three to six months ahead.
