(Company)">Nauta Design</a>’s trademark design shines through, with clean and refined exterior lines, and chamfered edges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308124/image/large-d993bd43681ad201eb5b32f04693b6d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308124">Her Z-shaped fashion plates have been placed exactly amidships to maintain the between her fore and aft, while her upper deck gives the illusion of floating. Her dark-painted bridge and sundeck also have a reduced height to create a low and sleek profile on the water.“A key word when we were designing the XP75 was flexibility,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a> project manager Martino Majno. “She is an Ice Class yacht designed to operate in temperatures from -20 °C to 40°C, she is just as at home in the Arctic as in the Caribbean.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308129/image/large-edb0b85f609c587d3a952abf6eb7f854.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308129">The XP75 yacht has been designed to ensure operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. She features special double glazing, which reduces heat transfer and her engine cooling water is recycled.&nbsp;The main saloon of the XP75 yacht features floor-to-ceiling windows, which illuminate the room and highlight her three metre ceiling. However, the centre-piece of the room is her aquarium, which provides an eye-catching display for guests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308126/image/large-2fc572551302d4c2d43920bcfec2f4af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308126">The XP75 yacht can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, as well as a crew of 24, with five guest staterooms on her main deck forward. Her foremost VIP suite can also be divided by sliding panels to create an extra ensuite stateroom. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308123/image/large-8e7ec49fcc0ef75e57f55ba87d12393e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308123">The upper deck of the XP75 yacht is dedicated to the owner and features a forward-facing stateroom with an island bed.

Her beach club includes a sauna, beauty salon and hammam and sunken bar underneath the pool on the main deck, while three fold-down platforms increase the space to 185 square-metres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308125/image/large-0a269d78ebc2dd45cc3ef4273d3055af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308125">Her main deck includes a pool with a base that can be raised, so the 273-square-metre aft deck also doubles as a helipad. Further forward and protected by a sunroof that slides out of the deckhead, is a sunken seating area, bar, DJ console and open-air cinema.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308128/image/large-93233cd40a37a6e98f29fbfab5c491c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308128">A key feature of the XP75 yacht is her skylounge on the upper deck aft, which features a projector for use as a cinema room. Her foredeck also doubles as a touch-and-go helipad when the yacht is at anchor, thanks to a telescopic mast and covered mooring deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308122/image/large-abcc8040ddf16a42da0a069d88d2dab5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308122">The wheelhouse on the bridge deck is designed for maximum visibility in ice conditions with a walk-around integrated <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6426" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kongsberg Maritime (Company)">Kongsberg</a> console and a Portuguese bridge.

His vision is particularly captivating: he seeks to create a superyacht that melds beauty with functionality. His aim is not just luxury for its own sake, but to conceive a vessel that is both aesthetically appealing and practical, capable of navigating in a variety of global locations.During our initial discussions on Project Thunderball, an all-steel construction was considered. However, after comprehensive assessments and detailed calculations with Vripack, we determined that a blend of steel and aluminium would yield superior stability, improved weight management, and cost efficiency. This approach highlights the owner's commitment to exhaustively exploring all options, to ensure a design that is both purposeful and well-defined.The interior design process involved a significant collaboration between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>. The layout planning was a joint effort, led by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta</a> for the interior aesthetics. In a move to align closely with his design preferences, the owner invited our team and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta</a>'s designers to his seaside villa. This visit played a pivotal role in grasping the owner’s envisioned style for the yacht, aiming for an ambiance akin to a luxurious, transportable villa, suitable for destinations as varied as the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, South America, and Northern Europe.How has the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>&nbsp;brand evolved during your tenure, and do you have any future plans or developments in mind for the brand?When I joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> nine and a half years ago, I became a part of a brand with a history spanning over 50 years. At that time, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> was already renowned for its full custom yacht building approach. My initial strategy, perhaps atypical for a new manager in an established company, was to focus on strengthening and reorganising the management team. This approach was necessary to address the organisational challenges the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a> faced between 2010 and 2011.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/255380/image/large-7c08ce25bd081c84802e186870c563c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/255380">A crucial aspect of our strategy at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> has been to assemble the right team for efficient project management. This ensures that our clients are paying the right price, while the company remains profitable. Our approach to yacht building, particularly for vessels over 50 metres, is distinct in the Italian market, and perhaps globally.We've established versatile platforms, utilising our accumulated expertise. Unlike some shipyards with in-house designers, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>'s team of architects and specialists focuses on the construction process, while we entrust design work to external talent. Our collaborations over the years have included various designers, from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gerhard Gilgenast (Company)">Gerhard Gilgenast</a> in the 80s to contemporary names like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Leonard</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1156" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Massari Design S.r.l. (Company)">Massari</a>.Our philosophy centres on realising a client's vision without being bound by pre-existing designs. This commitment to full customisation and flexibility sets <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a> apart. It fuels our innovation in superyacht construction, as we embrace unique client dreams. For instance, the 72-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Njoy72.26m (237'1&quot;)CRN2024">Njoy</a> features one of the largest swimming pools ever built on a superyacht under 80 metres, rivalling those on much larger vessels. Such achievements reflect our dedication to our ability to push boundaries and explore new possibilities.&nbsp;I would like to emphasise the truly custom nature of our work. This bespoke approach is exemplified in our previous projects like the 54.8-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2751" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Atlante54.8m (179'9&quot;)CRN2015">Atlante</a>, the 74-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Andrea74.0m (242'9&quot;)CRN2017">Andrea</a> (formerly Cloud 9) and the 62-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7207" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RIO62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN2022">Rio</a>. Our ability to construct a diverse range of unique boats, from large <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A. (Company)">Riva</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pershing S.p.a.

Currently, among <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN (Company)">CRN</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/363" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Riva S.p.A.

(Company)">Pershing</a>, we are able to simultaneously construct up to nine steel and aluminium yachts over 50 metres. This expansion has been a deliberate and gradual process, with careful consideration to avoid the risks associated with overcapacity, which could lead to market saturation and potentially compromise our commitment to quality.Our latest superyachts, including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Njoy72.26m (237'1&quot;)CRN2024">Njoy</a> and Project Maranello, showcase our ability to meet the highest standards comparable to our Northern European counterparts, yet at a more accessible price point. While our pricing may be higher than other Italian shipyards and significantly above Turkish alternatives, we pride ourselves on delivering a level of quality that is unparalleled in Southern Europe.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261962/image/large-2aa58bfb71728559e1bc7af44932d670.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261962">Finally, if you were to own a yacht, what features would be a priority for you to include?My passion for all things nautical, stemming from my studies in naval architecture and marine engineering, often leads me to appreciate any yacht after spending more than a few minutes onboard.At this point in my life, a small day boat, ideally between 30-50 feet, would be perfect for me. I'd like it moored directly in front of my seaside home, allowing me to manage it myself and easily embark on daily adventures. I prefer tranquil, remote locations over popular jet-set destinations.
