CRN, part of the Ferretti Group and based in Ancona, builds large steel-hull motor yachts characterised by generous beam, significant interior volume, and a design language that is Italian in both proportion and material choice. The yard specialises in commissions above 40 metres, producing hulls that carry outdoor deck space and interior volume efficiently on a steel platform that handles long Caribbean passages with seakeeping reassurance. Chartering a CRN in Saint Martin gives a substantial Italian motor yacht access to one of the Caribbean’s best-provisioned anchorages and most varied single-island destinations.
Saint Martin divides between a French north and a Dutch south with distinct characters. The French side holds Grand Case, the restaurant village that draws charter guests from across the Leewards for an evening ashore, and Marigot, the French capital with its waterfront market and covered stalls selling local produce and rum. The Dutch side holds Simpson Bay Lagoon, the practical hub for the northern Leewards: marinas, chandleries, provisioning, and Princess Juliana airport with Caribbean-wide connections. CRN charter rates in the Caribbean typically run from 100,000 to 300,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent.
Anse Marcel on the north coast and Oyster Pond on the east coast provide additional anchorages suited to different wind conditions and itinerary needs.
