CRN is an Ancona-based Italian shipyard part of the Ferretti Group, building full-custom steel and aluminium motor yachts from 40 metres to over 90 metres since 1963. Each CRN is designed from the keel up to client specification, with leading naval architects and interior studios delivering vessels whose engineering and aesthetic quality place them at the upper end of the Italian custom build market. Harbour Island provides an intimate and characterful Bahamas charter base for CRN yachts, with the protected harbour on the western side of the island offering calm anchorages alongside Valentines Marina for larger vessels. The four CRN yachts available in this region deliver deep-water ocean capability and interior refinement to a destination better known for its colonial architecture and pink-sand beach than for marina facilities. Weekly charter rates for CRN yachts at Harbour Island typically range from 180,000 to over 500,000 euros, reflecting the full-custom build standard. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, gourmet food, marina fees and beverages. December through April is peak Bahamas season, with northeast trades keeping conditions settled. Pink Sands Beach, the pastel-painted streets of Dunmore Town, the uninhabited anchorage at Royal Island and the tidal rush of Current Cut near Spanish Wells provide a shore programme well suited to the unhurried pace these vessels encourage.
