CRN is an Italian shipyard based in Ancona and part of the Ferretti Group, specialising in large custom steel motor yachts from around 43 to more than 70 metres. The yard combines Italian design sensibility with heavy displacement engineering, producing yachts of exceptional interior volume and a formal classical character distinct from the sportier Italian yards. With four CRN charter yachts in the Bahamas, the fleet is small but delivers scale and presence that is difficult to match at a comparable price point. Large steel displacement hulls mean stability and interior volume well beyond what a lighter yacht of similar length can offer. Saloon ceilings are generous, beach clubs run the full beam, and deck plans allow multiple outdoor zones to coexist without any sense of crowding. CRN yachts in the Bahamas are well suited to larger charter groups or families who want to spread across a yacht with defined areas for dining, relaxing, and socialising at different times of the day. Weekly charter rates for CRN yachts in the Bahamas run from approximately 100,000 to 200,000 euros, reflecting the size and full-custom build specification of these substantial Italian yachts. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 percent for fuel, food, Nassau marina fees, and drinks. The December through March peak season commands full rates as demand from Florida and the North-East US intensifies. From Nassau, a well-planned CRN charter heads into the northern Exumas, anchoring off Shroud Cay for kayaking through tidal creek channels and Staniel Cay for the Thunderball Grotto snorkel. The Berry Islands provide empty anchorages and exceptional bone-fishing on the flats. Close the week at Nassau or cross to Bimini for a short passage back to South Florida.
