The new Pershing model continues to be a huge success and on January 17, the third unit was launched in the port of Fano. With a powerfully sporty character and superlative liveability, this yacht is bursting with innovation and excitement and revolutionises the cruising experience, taking it into a new dimension. This yacht christened “BYEEE...” was built for a European owner and great fan of Ferretti Group boats, so much so that this is his second purchase.

The third Pershing GTX116 unit is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni, and the Group’s Engineering Department, confirming her sporty heritage while enhancing the concept of comfort by providing plenty of open-air space and areas designed to provide even more direct contact with the water. A unique yacht with a hull over 35 metres in length and 7.70 metres in the beam.

The sleek, streamlined silhouette points up the brand’s sporty personality and references luxury SUV automotive imagery, strongly identifying the new Pershing GTX116 as an SUY – Sport Utility Yacht. This third unit is elegant and sophisticated at first glance. The exterior of the superstructure and sundeck area are classic Pershing grey, while the hull, the forward and aft sunpad areas and the winch feature a special metallic anthracite colour – a more innovative darker shade than the units launched previously – and the lateral terrace and hard top feature an elegant dark grey. The final exterior feature is the extensive glazing, which floods the interiors with natural light and creates an intimate interplay between interior and exterior.

The main deck is home to the spacious salon, in which sophisticated furnishings amplify the setting by creating as much space as possible. The room’s layout features a large dining table with a leather top and a frame clad in dark brown upholstery. The saddlé caffé colour Poltrona Frau sofa pairs perfectly with the pale beige and grey shades used for the decor. As was the case on the first unit, here too the owner has decided not to open up a direct passageway between the living space and the galley, keeping the two areas separate. The taupe oak parquet floor by Listone Giordano pairs perfectly with the elegance of the rest of the interior design and gives the setting a warm feel. The galley is fitted with a fridge and freezer for supplies. The colour palette is maintained in this setting too, creating continuity with the salon by choosing shades such as titanium and grey for the cupboard doors.

Moving into the cockpit, we find a large teak table and an extending, adjustable-height table that uses the bench for seating, and aft of them a large sunpad on the same level. While on the level below, in a space separated from the cockpit, the beach area and its comfy sunloungers create the ideal setting in which to spend relaxing moments in increasingly seamless contact with the water. In the yacht’s bow area are a generous sunpad, two removable tables and a small bar area with two fridges. This new feature replaces the 6-person Jacuzzi proposed by the shipyard and chosen for the first and second units.

Finally, the lower deck contains three guest cabins in a space that is also home to the master cabin, which features a Poltrona Frau double bed with a crow black bed head and slate colour finishings. The decor, which contrasts dark and pale colour shades, is paired with the desk, the side cabinets, the bedside tables and the taupe-coloured bed head in a clear reference to the colour palette chosen for this third unit. The master bathroom is another design exercise in pursuit of space and absolute comfort. The framework is a setting containing three interior areas, with two entrances, two regular showers and a central waterfall shower. The aluminium herringbone mosaic by Metalborder creates an even more luxurious feel in a space that perfectly combines technology and elegance.

The garage can contain a jet ski and two water toys, while the exclusive 39-square-meter beach club has a teak deck protected by an electro-hydraulic taffrail that opens up to connect the beach area with the swim platform, creating a huge space at the water’s edge.

The 40-square-meter sundeck, reached from the stern area via two outdoor stairways on either side of the yacht, features modern furnishings with modular sofas designed by Minotti. This convivial but refined layout is designed to provide generous spaces in which to fully enjoy life on board.

The third Pershing GTX116 unit is equipped with a triple water jet propulsion system, which can be paired with three MAN V12 2000 engines each rated 2,000 mhp (optional) for a top speed of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots. The standard engines are three MAN V12 1800 units rated 1,800 mhp.

At the German boat show, Ferretti Group works with a select team of exclusive Italian and international brands: the Group's uniforms are designed by Dolce & Gabbana, the drinks are chosen from the fine selections curated by La Scolca, and the end-of-meal coffee service is offered by Lavazza.
The Group’s trusted automotive partner is Range Rover, which offers a car service to customers and owners in the new Range Rover line, while air transport is provided by Flexjet. The team also includes long-standing partner Seabob, which will be showcasing its magnificent limited editions with custom livery created specifically for Riva, Ferretti Yachts, Pershing and Wally. The line-up of sponsors is completed by Culti, Torello (logistics).

M/Y NIMIR, the eleventh Custom Line Navetta 42 unit launched on November 28 with the owner family in attendance, is the result of a project developed by Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department, with the Custom Line Atelier playing a strategic role in the interior design process by interpreting the style requirements of the owner family based in the EMEA region. With a length of 41.8 m and a beam of 8.1 m, this superyacht in the brand’s displacement line features a sleek, dynamic profile, flowing lines, formal clarity and a functional aesthetic. The colour palette chosen for the interiors pairs pale, muted colours with contrasting tones that range from subtle milk white and sand to elegant shades of grey. The furnishings feature fine materials such as Bianca Gioia, Travertino Titanio and Carrara marble, creating a style that is both regal and refined at the same time.

The twentieth Custom Line 106’ unit in the planing line was launched last December 5 and is a creation of the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with the support of Francesco Paszkowski Design for the interiors and the exterior styling, and Custom Line Atelier for the interior design, working in close and constant contact with the customer, based in the EMEA region. Custom Line 106’ embodies Made in Italy excellence and radiates a luminous beauty conferred on the yacht by the natural light that permeates and amplifies the spaces onboard. An emblem of clean architectural lines and timeless excellence, this superyacht – with a length of 32.82 metres and a beam of 7.4 metres – offers generous spaces and clean, rigorous lines, creating a sense of pared-down refinement that pervades every setting on the yacht. The chromatic harmony in the onboard spaces is based on a silk grey-coloured type of wood that lends a note of modernity, paired with neutral colours such as white and pearl and more vivid ones like bronze and anthracite, combined with sophisticated materials including the fine marbles Statuario Extra and polished Arabescato Orobico, and nubuck leather.

The last launch of the year was of the thirtieth Custom Line Navetta 33 unit, launched last December 19 with the name M/Y Pufferfish, during a ceremony attended by all Custom Line employees and the outside contractors who work with the brand. The new Custom Line hull belongs to an owner family based in the EMEA region and is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee - which handled the exterior styling - and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, whose architects and designers created the interiors, with strategic interior design consulting provided by the Custom Line Atelier. 33 metres long and 7.52 metres in the beam, Custom Line Navetta 33 features the model’s signature silhouette, characterised by a refined sense of majesty, and is the epitome of class and light-touch sophistication. The chic and stylish design of the interiors pairs the neutral and silk grey colours of the structural parts with the contrasting vibrancy of pink, blue and orange used for the decor and furnishings, which were custom made to reflect the owner’s tastes using unique, high-quality materials including Calcatta Oro marble.

2023 confirms Custom Line's original mission and the brand’s points of strength, built on the perfect combination of state-of-the-art technology, ingenious functional solutions and an unmistakable design.

These elements are joined by a special focus on the customisation of the interiors, to which Custom Line brings an attention to detail that transforms each superyacht into a unique work of art, a masterpiece telling a unique story. The owner’s.

The shipyard’s latest made-to-measure creation belongs to an owner family based in the EMEA region and is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee - which handled the exterior styling - and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, whose architects and designers created the interiors, with strategic interior design consulting provided by the Custom Line Atelier, along with insights into the customer’s style requirements.

The majestic, refined profile of this 33-metre yacht with a 7.52-metre beam is a statement of class and light-touch sophistication, designed with a special focus on the hull technology and specifically the innovative bulbous bow, which ensures best-in-class seaworthiness and stability, as well as a range of up to 2,000 nautical miles.

All four decks feature generously sized spaces: the large lounges on the main and upper decks, along with the spacious exteriors, are the driving force behind the convivial spirit on board, while the wide body owner’s suite in the bow on the main deck and the four guest cabins on the lower deck ensure privacy and intimacy for guests. Taken together with the interior decoration, these spaces contribute to giving a sense of openness, transparency and continuity between interior and exterior.

In the chic, pared-down design of the interiors, light, rich colours – like milk white, athena grey, ice and cream – are set off against the darker, more seductive tones of bronze, dark grey and earth.

The furnishings and decor are designed according to the owner’s wishes, in collaboration with leading names in the world of design, to create a stylistic elegance that is sophisticated at the same time as being understated, using unique, high-quality materials including Taj Mahal quarzite, Silk Georgette marble and Tivano leather.

On INFYNITO 90, the indoor and outdoor settings blend into one another in a groundbreaking continuum, creating generous, customisable spaces based on numerous layout combinations that owners can choose from.

Rounding out the new design is a unique and innovative layout for a yacht in this category.

The focus of all this innovation on INFYNITO 90 and the range as a whole is the ground-breaking All-Season Terrace in the bow. Sheltered by an extension to the superstructure that provides protection in all weather conditions and total privacy, the terrace is a comfortable private area forward that can be fitted out according to the owner’s preferences. This is also the first Ferretti Yachts model to feature a skylounge completely surrounded by windows, with direct access onto the upper deck cockpit.

MAIN DECK
The extreme flexibility of the layout is clear from the outset, not least in the 34-square-metre aft cockpit, which can be decorated with free standing furniture or a panoramic sun pad combined with a formal dining area. The yacht also has a longitudinal garage accessed from the transom, with steps integrated into the lift and enough space for a Williams Diesel-JET 415 Tender.

The main deck, with its walkaround design, is one of the areas that showcases continuity between the interior and exterior spaces.

The generous open space interiors, in fact, create an uninterrupted view that sweeps from the stern of the yacht to the bow.

The owner can choose the configuration that best represents their personality out of three different options. The first unit, for example, features a total open space fitted out with an informal living area aft, containing two facing sofas, and a country kitchen amidships interconnected with both the living room and the dining area forward, which is furnished with a large table seating eight. A more formal version of the deck is also available, with an enclosed galley that the crew can access independently from the port walkway. Both versions include a large pantry and the day head.

Finally, for maximum enjoyment, a layout inspired by larger yachts positions the full-beam master suite, containing an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet, in the bow on the main deck.

The All-Season Terrace, one of the most innovative features of the design, is fitted out on the first unit with a Jacuzzi surrounded by sofas. As an alternative, the owner can opt for a panoramic cocktail bar featuring a counter and four bar chairs, or alternatively a series of comfortable sun loungers. All the solutions feature a generous sun pad in the bow. Electrically operated concealed windows can be fitted in all configurations to connect the terrace with the neighbouring interior area.

The forward terrace has a covered central section complete with a bimini top, available in both a fixed version and with tilting glass louvres, as installed on the first unit.

The flexibility of the configuration can also be seen in the two decor moods available: Classic and Contemporary, both created to offer the owner all the pleasure of an elegant, inviting, clean and well-balanced ambiance. While they both share the same unmistakable Made in Italy styling, the Classic mood taps into warm, earthy elements, while Contemporary features glowing woods and fabrics in fresh hues inspired by the colours of the sea. There is clear contamination from residential decor in the form of understatement, softness, and well-balanced forms and materials, without ever tipping into a minimalist style.

The common denominators are Ferretti Yachts’ hallmark soft ceilings, verticality and clean lines, plus the thoughtful use of materials and freestanding furniture.

The huge windows running the length of the main deck lounge, and reprised in the Skylounge, are striking in their design and extend the view to include the natural environment, as well as allowing natural light to flood in.

The view sweeping from stern to bow at the heart of the boat’s concept is practically uninterrupted, not even by the central staircase, which connects the three decks and is contained in a structure formed of eco-leather slats, so that it doesn’t create a visual impediment. The staircase provides a second point of access to the upper deck, in addition to the one in the cockpit.

UPPER DECK
INFYNITO 90 is the first model in the Ferretti Yachts range to feature a skylounge completely surrounded by windows and with direct access onto the upper deck cockpit. Forward of this is the helm station – featuring a Simrad Command integrated dashboard – that in the first unit built is closed off from the convivial zone in the midship section, which features a lounge and TV. An open version of the wheelhouse is also available. In both cases, the Skylounge can accommodate a dining area seating eight. The upper deck cockpit can also be configured with free-standing furniture to create a sunbathing and al fresco dining area.

Ensuring maximum continuity with the outdoor world is always a key priority. Two bridge wings can also be configured on either side of the yacht to facilitate docking manoeuvres.

Ancona, 3rd November, 2023

CRN M/Y CIAO, a full-custom all-aluminium yacht by CRN, has triumphed at the prestigious ISS DESIGN AND LEADERSHIP AWARDS in the Best in Motor <500 GT (above 24m) category. The honour was presented on Thursday 26 October at a gala evening in the elegant setting of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Fort Lauderdale Beach at a gathering of the leading lights in the nautical world.

Now in its 33rd edition, these historic awards – the first in the yachting world – celebrate excellence in design, engineering and innovation.

A testament to the shipyard’s total dedication, its creativity and talent for innovation, ISS DESIGN AND LEADERSHIP AWARDS are given for the designs adjudged the most groundbreaking not only for their naval architecture and engineering solutions but also for their aesthetics and the elegance of their lines. As well as reflecting CRN’s superlative design and build quality, this accolade underlines the shipyard’s unrivalled ability to turn an owner’s vision and brief into reality.

The features that especially impressed the jury include the taut, svelte lines, the vertical bow and the continual interplay between the internal and external spaces. The generous windows were admired for the glorious natural light that brings out the vivid splashes of colour that are such a feature of the furnishings and materials. On the technical side, the judges also praised the clever use of the open-air garage to keep the yacht under 500 GT, as well as the excellent handling of space to enhance the on-board entertainment experience for the owner and guests.

This 52-metre vessel was designed and built by CRN, which also developed the entire naval architecture. The yard partnered with architecture and design studio Omega Architects, who conceived the external lines, and architects Massari Design, who created all the spacious outdoor guest areas and the well-lit interiors.

Creativity, passion, experience, originality and uniqueness: these are the key elements that go into making every CRN superyacht. The quality shines through in every aspect, from the virtuoso craftsmanship and in-depth technical know-how to the meticulous attention to detail. Recognised for its innovative naval architectures and advanced engineering solutions, CRN specialises in designing exclusive, tailor-made, one-off yachts – perfect fusions of ideas, expertise and professionalism.

At 52 metres long and 9 metres in the beam, this 5-deck yacht has a gross tonnage of 499 GT. She accommodates up to 10 guests in the sumptuous main-deck owner suite and 4 VIP cabins on the lower deck. There are also 6 cabins for the 11 crew.

CRN M/Y CIAO reflects the character of a knowledgeable owner with a passion for the sea. He was particular about the social zones, requiring roomy, comfortable open-air spaces linked with fluid precision to the large, luminous interiors. The magnificent outdoor areas – like the two palatial lounges with sunbathing area and pool, one on the sun deck and the other on the main deck, or the ample al-fresco dining area on the upper deck – are conceived as multipurpose convivial spaces for enjoying the open-air life to the full in intimate touch with the sea.

CRN M/Y CIAO is a product of creative design, flexible thinking and state-of-the-art technology, a superb example of the Ancona yard’s supreme construction expertise.

Fort Lauderdale, October 18th 2023 - Gathering exceptionally positive feedback at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, the wallywhy150 will make its US debut at the upcoming Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) from 25 to 29 October 2023.

“The wallywhy150 has been developed on the same concept as the larger wallywhy200, and in fact both models were conceived at the same time four years ago,” says Stefano de Vivo, Managing Director at Wally. Following the successful debut of the wallywhy200 in 2021, there’s every reason to be excited about the arrival of her stunning smaller sister. “What we’re doing is offering those same features of the bigger vessel but in a smaller package, with design decisions that have created a unique and ultimately highly liveable 23.99-metre motor yacht with unparalleled interior and exterior spaces, and a layout that will be envied by everyone who sees her. We didn’t see the smaller volume as a compromise,” de Vivo adds, “but rather a challenge and a new way to innovate – and at 150 gross tonnes, the wallywhy150 is actually a true ‘space-ship’, pushing into new frontiers for a sub-24-metre yacht.”

Of course, there are certain key criteria that define the wallywhy200 that were central to the design of the new wallywhy150. There’s the master cabin in the high bow at main deck level complete with sweeping 270-degree panoramic view, and there’s the nod to one-level living found on the wallywhy200 with an extraordinary split-level salon-cum-dining area that leads straight out onto the aft beach, coupled to interior design from Studio Vallicelli Design. Up top, there’s a vast salon en plein air that runs nearly the entire length of the yacht ¬– part sundeck, part chill lounge, and part party space – with the trademark angular hardtop providing shade and weather protection while extending seamlessly from the stealth-style glass raised pilothouse.

The effect is not only immediate in terms of striking aesthetics – unmistakeably Wally – but also in terms of the genius of the spaces and what they offer. This is the traditional idea of what a yacht should be completely inverted to show what a yacht can be: bold, brilliant, and utterly practicable for big days out on the water with family and friends.

The forward master takes everything the wallywhy200 offers and slides it into the smaller 150 with barely a hint of compromise. The comfortable double bed still gets its walkaround space and still benefits from that glorious yawn of a view, a true aquatic amphitheatre to watch the ever-changing play of the sea and sky. Below, there are options for either a VIP, guest double and guest twin cabins, or two VIP cabins. Whichever layout is preferred, the stretch of glass that enwraps the hull and superstructure means vast vistas and natural light in abundance.

Back on the main deck, the interior is split between a lower and upper salon area, with low-rise steps connecting the two. The standard layout would be to have the sofa on the upper level and dining on the lower, but this is not set in stone. Indeed, flexibility is key here, and this space begs to be configured in original ways – and, of course, customisation in function, materials and finishes is the Wally way, meaning each wallywhy150 can bear the unique mark of her owner. In addition, there is an option for an open-plan galley to open up the area even more.

“There are plans to do a few funky configurations to please the different uses of the yacht that different owners will have,” says de Vivo. “Some of our clients will use it as a family boat, some will use it as a dayboat and others will use it as a chase boat. That’s kind of the point – we can provide an exceptional platform and then let people’s imaginations run wild.”

For a yacht that packs in surprises and innovations at every turn, it’s hard to pick out highlights – but the aft terrace on the main deck is a clear contender. “The terrace-on-the sea is as ingrained in Wally’s DNA as carbon fibre,” enthuses Luca Bassani, Wally’s Founder and Chief Designer. “It was first introduced aboard Tiketitan, which had a main salon below deck overlooking the open transom offering unique access to the sea. In 2012 the terrace-on-sea concept was reinterpreted for the first wallyace, which featured an aft owner’s suite and VIP cabin opening onto the terrace-on-the-sea. It’s something that has been there from the beginning and it’s one of the key differentiators Wally has versus other boats, which is the feeling of connection with the sea.” In order to do that, says Bassani, you have to have an uninterrupted view and continuous flow between the inside and outside. It’s an idea the wallywhy150 takes and expands upon to deliver a truly exceptional guest-area experience.

“The terrace-on-the sea concept was then carried over to the new wallytenders and the wallypowers – it’s a fil rouge that connects the Wally DNA, and you could be on a Wally sailing yacht or a wallywhy and they both feel like a Wally,” explains Bassani. “It’s challenging to design, because you are near the water and there’s a lot of engineering that has to be completed to ensure it’s a safe space that won’t get flooded, but our experience comes to the fore in that regard and it’s a feature that is superbly designed and executed on the wallywhy150.”

“Wally design always follows function, so the pilothouse’s angular design which is reminiscent of the wallypower range – and the original wallypower118 in particular – is a consequence of the T-top and is almost a happy coincidence,” Bassani adds. “But when you use the same kind of shapes you end up with the same kind of solutions, and that’s also why we have chosen a similar colour to the 118. It’s a little bit of an homage to that iconic design.”

In engineering terms, Wally has been able to draw not only on its own experience developing ultra-lightweight and geometrically complex sailing and motor yachts, but also on the extensive expertise of the Ferretti Group Engineering team. The result is dramatic, with the hull carrying huge expanses of glass that not only provide the forward, elevated master suite with the trademark wallywhy wraparound bow windows, but also create double-decker full-height windows in the split level salon.

“The structure has to be very well thought out,” says de Vivo, “because basically it’s a glass cage, but you also have to consider the piping and cable runs, air-conditioning ducting and other technical elements that have to be incorporated. There’s a lot of planning and engineering design that goes into it, and the reality is also that we are using glass of a thickness you would typically find on a 50- or 60-metre yacht, which confers exceptional strength to the structure. That is not typical for a sub-24-metre boat.”

The wallywhy150 is not typical in any respect. The aft cockpit flows from the lower part of the salon, creating a vast indoor-outdoor terrace that flows uninterrupted from the upper salon forward to the sea aft. Clever design means stoppers can be raised to separate the lowering aft portion of the terrace from the forward part, creating a seaworthy barrier for passagemaking while allowing unrestricted water access at anchor. The hydraulic aft platform can be lowered both for launching a tender or as a submerged beach and swim platform, and the design allows not only for the carrying of a variety of water toys but also of a 3.9-metre tender.

The wallywhy150 will also offer her owners the capacity for extended cruising, with a range of around 400 miles promised at cruising speed. Powered by optional triple Volvo Penta IPS1350s, the 150 will be capable of a mile-chomping 23 knots top speed, with standard Volvo Penta IPS 1200s delivering 21 knots. Moreover, she will be an exceptional sea boat. “She’s extremely stable,” says Bassani, “and that’s mostly down to her hull shape, but also down to her construction which uses carbon up top to reduce weight aloft.” Of course, she is also offered with stabilisation to ensure comfort both underway and at rest.

The combination of avant garde looks, astonishing spaces and admirable performance perhaps explains why a concept like the wallywhy, which eschews boating convention, already boasts a growing fanbase among owners. “The reach of the wallywhy range has already proven surprising, because Wally has never been for everybody – we’re not afraid to push boundaries of design function, and we always take things to the extreme,” Bassani admits. “But the surprising thing is that a lot of clients who visited the wallywhy200 were very surprised by the volume you get inside, the usability, and the shock of the exterior space, and then it all starts to make sense to them,” he continues. “A lot come back after seeing other boats saying nothing else compares to it, and we believe the wallywhy150, because of what it offers for a 23.99-metre yacht, will garner an even stronger reaction.”

Adds de Vivo, “Like with all new Wallys, the wallywhy150 is revolutionary and it has to be seen, touched, felt and experienced first-hand – it’s very hard to judge without being on board. The spaces and the volumes are incredible. The salon, for example, is over 2.5 metres high,” he continues, “which is crazy when you think about it because it’s a boat under 24 metres – you don’t even get that on a 70-metre yacht. And the deckhead there is curved fore-and-aft and transversally, creating a dome-like effect – it’s just incredible and you have to see it to believe it. We asked a lot to our engineers but when you find those solutions you start to see new opportunities and innovative ideas, like the deckhead, start to evolve. It all comes together and the result is something really new in this highly competitive size range.”

Ancona, 11th October, 2023

RINA Services Spa certifies that the SUSTAINABLE POWERED YACHT (SuP-Y) project is sized appropriately and in line with regulatory requirements for safe implementation

CRN, the historic shipyard specialising in the design, engineering and construction of superyachts up to 90 metres, has written an important chapter in the brand’s 60-year history by obtaining special recognition for the SuP-Y: Sustainable Powered Yacht Project. After a year and a half of R&D work together, RINA Services Spa confirms that the Ferretti Group Sustainable Yacht project is sized appropriately for proper functioning and easy management, and meets the regulatory requirements for safe implementation.

A coordinated effort by Ferretti Group Super Yacht Division, Weichai Power Science & Technology Division and RINA Services Spa has made it possible to develop a sustainable architecture that entails the installation of modern fuel cells on board a CRN superyacht. This new technology takes an important step towards the future of yachting, based on an easy-to-manage solution that meets all regulatory requirements to ensure safety on board.

The purpose of the project is to determine a sustainable technical architecture with the most efficient implementation of Fuel Cell technology on board a Ferretti Group Super Yacht. “Sustainable concepts” have been developed for two superyacht naval platforms:

1. Platform 11.50 with hybrid propulsion for yachts from 60m to 70m
2. Platform 14.20 with a diesel-electric power plant for yachts from 75m to 90m

Both architectures are equipped with PEM Fuel Cells as an alternative power source, fed by hydrogen reformed from green methanol and optimized to ensure predefined levels of performance and autonomy: several days in full hotel mode without diesel generators running and the capability to sail in zero emission mode for several hours depending on cruising speed. This approach significantly reduces total emissions and ensures compliance with the strictest environmental standards.

The collaboration with RINA Services Spa confirms and underscores CRN’s commitment to pushing both the boundaries of sustainable maritime applications and the brand’s proactive approach towards the incorporation of sustainable power supplies into their vessels. This initiative shows that the shipyard is at the forefront of adopting greener technologies within the yachting industry.
