CRN, part of the Ferretti Group and based in Ancona on Italy’s Adriatic coast, builds fully custom motor yachts in steel and aluminium from approximately 40 to over 90 metres. Each hull is designed from scratch to the owner’s brief, meaning no two CRN yachts share the same profile. The result is a fleet with striking individuality, where size, style and interior philosophy vary considerably from vessel to vessel.nnCRN hulls are robust offshore platforms. Steel construction on the larger builds provides structural strength appropriate to Atlantic passages, while aluminium on mid-range vessels reduces displacement and improves performance in lighter conditions. Interior volumes are typically generous, with full-beam master suites, large main saloons and well-proportioned deck-level entertainment spaces the norm on vessels in the 50 to 80 metre range.nnCharter rates for CRN yachts in the Mustique area range from approximately 70,000 to 200,000 euros per week depending on vessel size and specification. An advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, berthing, provisions and crew gratuity. December to April is Caribbean high season, when the finest CRN builds are typically booked well in advance.nnMustique suits a CRN particularly well. Britannia Bay’s calm holding, the island’s private atmosphere and the short passages to Tobago Cays and Palm Island give a full CRN the opportunity to show both its seakeeping capability and its social entertaining credentials.
