CRN, built at the Ferretti Group s Ancona yard since 1963, specialises in full-custom superyachts in steel and aluminium, typically between 50 and 90 metres. Each vessel is an individual commission with its own hull geometry, deck arrangement and interior specification, produced to standards set by private owners who want a yacht that is entirely their own. Four CRN yachts charter in Antigua and Barbuda, a Caribbean winter destination that suits the scale and range capability of CRN construction well. The northeast trade winds of Antigua from December through April provide steady conditions for long-range displacement hulls, and the geography of the Leeward Islands, with anchorages from English Harbour south to Barbuda north and the further islands of Saint Kitts, Nevis and Montserrat within a comfortable day s passage, rewards a vessel with CRN s range and comfort. English Harbour provides the operational infrastructure: fuel, provisioning and the support services needed for a serious superyacht operation. The historic dockyard setting and the cultural concentration of Antigua s sailing community make it one of the Caribbean s most rewarding charter bases for a vessel of this class. Weekly charter rates for CRN yachts in Antigua and Barbuda typically run from 100,000 to 350,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, provisions, crew and port fees.
