CRN is an Ancona-based Italian shipyard and part of the Ferretti Group, building full-custom steel and aluminium motor yachts from 40 metres to over 90 metres. The yard has been producing displacement megayachts since 1963, with each project designed from the keel up to client specification in collaboration with leading naval architects and interior design studios. Grand Bahama Island provides a compelling charter setting for CRN yachts, offering protected western anchorages at Old Bahama Bay alongside the full marina facilities of Freeport Harbour for larger vessels requiring alongside berths. The four CRN yachts available in this region deliver deep-water ocean capability and interior refinement, while being equally suited to the shallow bank passages and calm anchorages of the Bahamas. Weekly charter rates for CRN yachts typically range from 180,000 to over 500,000 euros, reflecting the full-custom build standard and the experienced crew sizes these vessels carry. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent adds to the base charter cost, covering fuel for the displacement hull, fresh provisions, marina fees and beverages. December through April represents the peak season for Grand Bahama charters, with northeast trade winds keeping conditions settled across the Bahamas Bank. Peterson Cay National Park lies close to Freeport and rewards afternoon tender excursions with shallow reef snorkelling. The Lucayan cave system and McLean Town bonefishing flats extend the activity programme for guests staying multiple nights aboard this level of vessel.
