CRN, the Ancona steel-hull specialist and member of the Ferretti Group, builds large displacement motor yachts with a focus on range and volume that makes them particularly suited to the longer passages of the Caribbean winter season. Four are available for charter in the Sint Eustatius region of the Leeward Islands, in the forty-five to over sixty-metre range.
Steel construction gives CRN yachts an inherent structural solidity and interior volume that aluminium-hulled vessels of comparable length cannot match. This translates to staterooms with more headroom, social spaces with more presence, and a sea-keeping quality that keeps guests comfortable on the beam swells that occasionally accompany the northeast trades.
Four CRN charter yachts operate in the Sint Eustatius region, accommodating eight to fourteen guests in four to seven staterooms. Interior design on these vessels reflects the Italian craft tradition, with joinery by the Ancona yard teams and furnishing by noted designers. Weekly charter rates are negotiated individually and typically run from 150,000 to 350,000 euros, with advance provisioning allowances of thirty percent. The season runs November through April.
Sint Eustatius suits CRN yachts. The island Oranjestad roadstead holds vessels of this size comfortably, the passages south to St Kitts and Nevis and north to Sint Maarten suit their displacement cruising speeds, and the unhurried character of the island matches the measured pace that large steel motor yachts naturally adopt.
