CRN, the Ancona-based Italian yard, builds large custom steel motor yachts with a reputation for generous volume, robust construction and interior commissions drawn from Europe’s leading design studios. Four CRN yachts charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean, each a bespoke project spanning 50 to 80 metres with a quality and finish level that justifies the rates commanded at the upper end of the charter market. Rum Cay is a remote and rewarding destination for a CRN charter: Port Nelson’s deep-water harbour accommodates large steel hulls, and the surrounding reef and wall dive systems, including the celebrated Rum Cay Wall, provide exceptional underwater conditions that are a world away from the crowded dive sites of the Exumas. Charter rates for CRN yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 200,000 to 500,000 euros per week. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies. The season is November through May, with the Christmas period booking well in advance. CRN’s custom steel construction gives these vessels the range and sea-keeping to cover the Nassau-to-Rum-Cay passage in comfort and the self-sufficiency to operate for a full week in a location where marina infrastructure is limited. Extended itineraries south reach Long Island, Acklins Island or the Turks and Caicos for guests who want a more ambitious passage programme.
