CNB carries a lineage rooted in Bordeaux, where the yard earned its reputation building performance cruisers for Atlantic and Mediterranean passages. Now operating under the Solaris Group, the builder retains its founding ethos while drawing on broader industrial resources for composite engineering and systems integration. The current range spans four models from 62 to 88 feet, each penned by Philippe Briand and finished with interiors by Piaton Yacht Design. Briand hull forms balance waterline length against moderate displacement, producing boats that track well upwind yet remain comfortable on long offshore legs. Deck layouts prioritise short-handed sailing: electric winches, a single-line reefing system and clean cockpit ergonomics let a small crew manage canvas without leaving the helm station. Below deck, the design language leans toward warm timbers, hand-stitched upholstery and carefully zoned lighting that separates social spaces from private cabins. The 78 keeps its waterline under 24 metres for coastal-access flexibility, while the flagship 88 pushes into superyacht territory with a dedicated owner deck, separate crew quarters and an air-draft suited to Caribbean and South Pacific itineraries. CNB hulls are built to Lloyds standards, and each yacht is delivered with a comprehensive commissioning programme that covers sea trials, systems training and a structured handover.
