CRN, the Ancona builder and member of the Ferretti Group, produces large custom steel motor yachts that occupy the most ambitious end of the Italian superyacht market. In St Lucia, a CRN charter brings the scale and Italian craftsmanship of the most individual builds in the Ferretti portfolio to one of the Caribbean most dramatic island destinations: an island where the twin volcanic peaks of the Pitons, the enclosed beauty of Marigot Bay and the calm of Rodney Bay create an environment of rare and varied natural quality.
CRN builds each yacht to an individual owner brief in steel, typically producing vessels above 50 metres with interior designs by the most respected Italian and international studios. The scale of a CRN gives charter guests a degree of amenity that smaller yachts cannot match: full-beam master suites, substantial beach clubs, large pools on deck and crew teams of twenty or more. These are yachts built to the highest specification that CRN can deliver.
Weekly charter rates for a CRN in St Lucia run from approximately 250,000 to 700,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel for the passage circuit, Rodney Bay Marina or anchorage fees, provisions from the island and crew gratuities. Peak Caribbean season runs December through April.
St Lucia suits a CRN well. The passage from Rodney Bay to the Pitons anchorage is one of the most memorable in the eastern Caribbean, and the scale of a CRN gives it the presence these waters deserve.
