CRN, part of the Ferretti Group and based in Ancona on Italy’s Adriatic coast, builds large steel-hull motor yachts noted for the volume they deliver within their overall dimensions. The yard has specialised in commissions above 40 metres, producing hulls with broad beams, large interior volumes, and a design language that is distinctly Italian without being ostentatious. CRN yachts carry significant outdoor deck space, and their steel construction makes them reassuring on longer Caribbean passages.
Saint Kitts and Nevis offer CRN charter guests a destination with historical character and geography compact enough to explore thoroughly in a week. Brimstone Hill Fortress on Saint Kitts, one of the Caribbean’s best-preserved colonial fortifications, stands above the Caribbean coast with views extending north to Sint Maarten on a clear day. Nevis’s plantation hotels and the quiet anchorage at Oualie Beach to the north of the island add variety to the two-island circuit. CRN charter rates typically fall between 100,000 and 300,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent.
Port Zante in Basseterre provides fuelling and marina berths for yachts of significant size. Frigate Bay on the Caribbean coast is calmer than Basseterre Roads for overnight anchorage. The Narrows crossing to Nevis is straightforward, and Pinneys Beach is the most popular Nevisian anchorage, with Charlestown a short dinghy ride to the south.
