THE 10 BEST CRN SUPERYACHTS EVER MADE

Sanzio Nicolini, the founder of superyacht builder CRN, was a visionary who
brought a daring energy to boat building. He pursued collaborations with the
likes of other boating luminaries such as Carlo Riva, Jon Bannenberg, and
Alberto Pinto to produce landmark yachts that showcased innovative design and
pushed the boundaries of technology.

These include Awal, the first yacht to feature a touch-and-go helipad; Atlante,
which echoed the multipurpose full-beam design found on navy vessels; and, more
recently, the 197-foot M/Y 141 with a Nuvolari Lenard design that embodies the
aerodynamic lines of an Italian sports car. In 1999, CRN merged with the
Ferretti Group. Today, celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Ancona-based yard
maintains its reputation for building creative, owner-focused yachts with
authentic technical prowess.

Here are our 10 favorites from the past six decades.

SUPERCONERO SERIES, 1986

CRN’s SuperConero was a landmark series of 75.5-foot boats that signaled the
arrival of CRN as a prestige yacht builder. The model drew a line in the sand
for the design and build quality of all of CRN’s future yachts, remaining a
source of inspiration even half a century later in the form of the only 164-foot
model, Latona. Delivered in 2018, Latona carries all the modern CRN hallmarks,
from a beach club at the stern and a balcony that can be used when cruising to a
floodable tender garage and a terrace over the sea.

‘FATH AL KHAIR,’ 1978

The 155-foot Fath Al Khair was the first CRN to exceed 147 feet. Built for the
Emir of Qatar, it reflected the owner’s insatiable appetite for ever-larger
yachts in what was becoming an increasingly sophisticated market. Fath Al Khair
also highlights the quirky “bow chine” design that CRN became known for in the
70s. Inspired by fishing boats, it assured guest safety when cruising while
providing additional room for the crew.

‘F100,’ 1983

Thirty years ahead of its time, F100 was a game changer for the industry.
Commissioned by Gianni Agnelli, the then-head of Fiat Group, it was the first
true explorer yacht in the pleasure-boating world. It was also the first to have
floating rubber supports that served as a form of soundproofing (again,
pre-dating the noise-reduction technology developed 20 years later), and the
first yacht of its size to have a touch-and-go helipad on the upper deck. The
final flourish was a “beauty line” traced in pure gold under the rubbing strake
from bow to stern, which gave an aesthetic flourish.

‘IL VAGABONDO,’ 1986

Built for Saudi Arabian Sheikh Hassan Enany in 1986, the 213-foot Il Vagabondo
is an early Terence Disdale design with a contemporary feel. The British
designer penned the boat’s exterior and interior, which included the first guest
elevator aboard a yacht. Il Vagabondo also highlighted CRN’s expertise in
building custom steel-hulled yachts, with the naval architecture done in-house.

‘VANINA,’ 1986

The full-custom yachting phenomenon materialized in the 1980s when owners began
looking to designers for one-off designs. Sensing this shift, Sanzio Nicolini
collaborated with designer luminaries, such as Jon Bannenberg, considered the
first modern yacht designer. The London designer completed a trio of custom
designs for three Greek brothers, one of which was Vanina. At 108 feet in
length, the yacht had features that the owner specifically requested, such as a
mid-deck children’s room made of pine as well as an impressive 3,000 nautical
mile range.

‘MARAYA,’ 2007

It was in the late 90s when CRN first partnered with Rome-based Zuccon
International Project, but it wasn’t until the 177-foot Maraya, delivered in
2007, that the world sat up and took notice of the partnership. Now a mainstay
in yachting, Maraya was the first boat to have an owner’s suite with a private
terrace that opened out over the sea. Providing the perfect spot for a breakfast
coffee, the master suite balcony is complemented by a private office and a
Zen-like en suite.

‘J’ADE,’ 2012

J’Ade is a 197-foot transatlantic yacht delivered by CRN in 2012. It was
distinguished by having the first floodable garage on a yacht of its size. The
hydraulically operated bay gave the owner easy access to the yacht’s 26-foot
Riva Iseo, without the need for a tender lift area. When required, the
multifunctional space dries out in a quick three minutes to transform into a
beach club terrace with access to a saltwater pool.

‘CHOPI CHOPI,’ 2013

When most yacht lovers hear the name CRN, they automatically think Chopi Chopi.
The 262-footer remains the largest yacht to come out of the Ancona yard, even 10
years after its delivery. Personalized from bow to stern for a highly
experienced owner and his family, the yacht has a dedicated owner’s deck with a
2,100-square-foot private apartment connected to a stern terrace, a helipad for
a three-ton helicopter, and a customized electronics system on the bridge with
all the route-planning and navigation systems required. Oh, there’s a full
entertainment system for the guests, too.

‘VOICE,’ 2020

The 203-foot Voice is a head-turning yacht designed by long-time CRN
collaborator Nuvolari Lenard. The yacht’s contoured external lines and bold
bespoke colors reflect the strong personality of the owner. As the first CRN to
comply with the new IMO Tier III requirements, which slashed nitrogen oxide
(NOx) exhaust emissions by 70 percent, Voice was hailed as a step toward more
sustainable yachting for the Italian builder.

‘RIO,’ 2022

Yachting in the 21st century pivots around indoor/outdoor connectivity and
flexible living spaces. The full-custom 204-foot Rio, which launched at the 2022
Monaco Yacht Show, makes the most of both aspects. Large internal and external
living areas seamlessly blend. Modular furniture can be moved around to create
more room for guests or impromptu dance floors. The sky lounge serves as a
private owner’s salon but is equally well suited to soirées for all 12 guests.
All guest areas, including two full-beam VIPs, a wellness lounge, a beach club,
a pool, and a cinema, come equipped with smart-automation technology to
personalize the electronics.
