CRN superyacht Voice in Göcek

The 62m superyacht Voice, built by CRN, is seen here anchored in Göcek, Turkey.

In July 2020, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> launched the all-custom 61.9-metre superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6253" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Voice62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN Spa2020">Voice</a>, and demonstrated to the industry once more, the power of truly home-grown, all Italian, design. Constructed in partnership with Venetian architecture studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a> and built at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>’s Ancona shipyard, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6253" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Voice62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN Spa2020">Voice</a> is the pinnacle of what it means for yachts to be designed in collaboration with a truly passionate owner. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193344/image/large-5b8a801bd749f1b33dc669e91a4c8ad4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193344">When the beginnings of the vessel were initially agreed upon, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> were given a highly specific brief by the experienced owner, who had a clear vision of what kind of vessel he wanted. It was down to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> to define the lines, and they decided, in a demonstration of their raison d'etre, to pool resources from their homeland. With carpentry by the historic in-house team at Zago (a company within the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a>), and materials sourced from Italian artisanal craftspeople, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> exploited the wealth of its region to create a fully custom megayacht which stands out from the crowd. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193369/image/large-22190075e82fcf12bc2a1dd6f9c7037b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193369"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193363/image/large-9e791f9543f7b0dca55a20c4494b5608.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193363">The owner's brief was clear; he wanted bold, “immediately recognisable” lines, extreme comfort, and like many yacht owners today; a very high performance yacht with minimal environmental impact.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193361/image/large-8e109c0d53156195d7ad1f22abd1f1bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193361"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193360/image/large-6d1507400f87a688eccaefa6eac63ba8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193360">During over 40 meetings between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>’s yacht project management dedicated team and the owner with his team, the external lines of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6253" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Voice62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN Spa2020">Voice</a> take shape, resulting in the vertical bow which makes her such a distinctive vessel. This is more than a stylistic necessity however, the sheer bow increases the superyacht’s waterline and her interior volume to an immense 1288 GT. This increase allowed for more generous crew accommodation, with the owner having stipulated that everyone aboard the yacht, including her crew, reside in comfort class. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193355/image/large-df301ac1a01aad913e8420f93cf0f875.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193355">In terms of performance, Voice was contractually designed to reach a maximum cruising speed of 16 knots, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> was able to increase this to 16.5, with an explorer-worthy range of 5500 nautical miles, when at her cruising speed of 15 knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193359/image/large-4075c728a3ab806f61ee39a252ba8311.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193359">But to create a yacht of such high performance, while aligning with the owner's wishes for a more environmentally mindful vessel, posed another opportunity for the shipyard to create <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>’s first IMO Tier III compliant superyacht, to be followed by the others <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> bespoke yacht currently under construction. This means that harmful nitrogen oxide pollution is cut down by 70%. In order to accomplish this, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>’s technical engineering team installed a SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction) system which injects urea in the exhaust system, reducing the formation of Nitrogen Oxide. While this was one accomplishment, the machinery involved needed to be optimised to the maximum so as not to jeopardise the owners spaces, something with CRN achieved to great effect. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193357/image/large-cc4c182b68612a8c3cb40cca69f00a41.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193357">In addition to these advanced technological stipends, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6253" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Voice62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN Spa2020">Voice</a> was required to have the option of fully automated operation, without the need of supervision by a chief engineer, and here again, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>’s technical team stepped up to the plate. With the clients main passion for music as a driving force behind the interior construction, a studio-worthy sound system aboard was not enough to meet the mark. The entire vessel was completed with meticulous sound proofing, with 70 tons of insulating material employed, to guarantee a substantial sound reduction of around 55/60 decibels, from the vessel's engines. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193354/image/large-0df55001d93e1df2be5da443b8fc3dcc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193354">Another bespoke specification from the owner was the finish of the superyacht’s hull, chosen to replicate the colours of one of his favourite cars. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> created fully-custom colours, with a smokey quartz hull, silver sand superstructure and jet black detailing, creating a contemporary, yet elegant, aesthetic. Her distinctive exterior design is complete with a sleek and streamlined satellite mast, providing the owner with unparalleled connectivity and cyber security, certified by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/554" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyds Ships (Company)">Lloyd</a>’s Register of Shipping. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193349/image/large-5950d429352a70a4d3b9bb635a5dbbce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193349"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6253" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Voice62.0m (203'5&quot;)CRN Spa2020">Voice</a> is the culmination of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>’s almost 60 years as bespoke superyacht specialists, and is a demonstration of how their know-how and commitment allows clients to create fully custom yachts, exclusive works of art that meet the vision, talent and imagination of their clients.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193347/image/large-eb877731ad62c241c77a1cf1cdf614e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193347">

One of the ways they are doing this is by working alongside some of the industry’s most highly regarded superyacht designers such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/586" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Francesco Paszkowski (Company)">Francesco Paszkowski</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Andrea Vallicelli (Company)">Andrea Vallicelli</a>. The results of these collaborations have sparked interest, and not only with SuperYacht Times. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/83500/image/large-1d14cc0b803119e843070316da5c50f5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83500">As company Chief Operating Officer Stefano de Vivo explains inbetween “looking after the clients, the designers, the production and of everything else,” CRN’s design philosophy and new concepts have been developed as part of a one-of-a-kind key commercial strategy. With five projects still on the go at the Ancona shipyard, SuperYacht Times finds out more about this new surge of design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a>. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/83726/image/large-dbe1fc34677b5128cb0f4de495c81226.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83726">Can you share more details about the new projects that are still under construction?We have two pretty big projects underway: we have the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/yacht-crn-135-launched" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">79-metre CRN 135 that has been launched</a> and is being prepared for delivery, and <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/crn-s-new-62m-motor-yacht-reaches-next-stage-of-build" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">the 61.9-metre CRN 137 that is still in the shed</a> and will be launched during the summer.The welding and the hull and superstructure of <a href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/news/crn-sells-62m-omega-designed-superyacht" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">a new 62-metre CRN 138</a> is being finished and she will be entering the shed during the month of June. She is a new project designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a> by Frank Laupman and will be ongoing for the next year and a half. Delivery will be during 2021.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> is nice and busy and we are keeping the perfect level of engagement: a 62-metre goes out, a 62-metre comes in! As the 79-metre is going out, last November we already signed a contract for a new 70-metre and a contract for <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/crn-141-motor-yacht-sold" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">a top secret 60-metre all-aluminium yacht in January</a>. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/83499/image/large-01330bbed1daaaf0d0005e38934f91e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83499">Has CRN received any interest in any other concepts? Is there any room at the shipyard to accommodate more?We try to aim to deliver between 2500 and 3000GT per year. We don’t want to do more than that because we want to maintain the quality and stay attentive to both the client and the team. However, there is still space for another sale, either two 500GT or maybe one 50-metre 1000GT.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> released three or four new projects developed with world-renowned designers last year. I can tell you that <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/crn-reveals-new-explorer-yacht-concept-alfarosso" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">the 45-metre, 50-metre and 55-metre explorer yachts designed by Francesco Paszkowski</a> received tremendous feedback and interest. This yacht fits perfectly in line with the history and DNA of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> as we could say we were the first to build an explorer yacht: Mr Gianni Agnelli’s F100 in 1983. As the F100 was only 32.8-metres, a new 45 or 50-metre explorer would be perfect!&nbsp;This concept is a statement, and much more of a crossover as it looks like an explorer, but we have given more attention to what the modern owner of the explorer yacht wants. It has its toys, which are all concealed, but also has beauty. We are trying to make sure that we have linked the soul of an explorer yacht with the soul of a luxury yacht.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/83498/image/large-deb57ec9a18e9c651b44e4feadde1cf6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83498">How has the CRN design has evolved? Have demands from clients changed?More and more clients are asking for yachts that are capable of going further. <a href="http://CRN%20to%20build%20new%2070m%20custom%20Vallicelli-designed%20motor%20yacht" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">The 70-metre CRN 139 that we are building right now</a> has unique design features to accommodate this kind of travel. It’s got a lot of glass but all of the heating and air conditioning components are designed to be able to go to the strictest climates.&nbsp;There are so many different places in the world that you have to cater the design to it if the client wants to be able to go there. This brings new life to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> design. These kind of requests are coming in more and more, which is fantastic news for the yachting industry because it means clients are becoming more curious and are ready to visit different places which helps broaden our range of clientele and makes the future exciting.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/67509/image/large-83f329d3fa04402d7e35ebb45dfbbd72.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/67509">What has been the result of the design collaborations? Were there any challenges involved?The main objective of these collaborations was to preserve <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> as the most important Italian shipyard that does full custom yachts. What I mean by full custom yachts it’s that, especially in reference to the last six or seven yachts <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> has launched, there is not one that looks the same as the other. The only two that look similar are two yachts owned by the same family.It’s a lot harder to build yachts that do not look the same! The biggest challenge is that we live in a world where you push a button and you have a 3D rendering automatically, but it’s not necessarily that easy when you are talking to a customer and asking them to imagine what an end product developed especially for them might look like. This is why we picked the top designers to collaborate with us as it has helped the clients visualise their superyacht. This also gives us a stamp of credibility, quality and reliability that shows how high <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> has risen in the yachting industry as these are the top guys in the world working for us on a collaboration basis completely free! We just give them our platform so that they can have a design that is already engineered. Another benefit of working with them is that we also challenge one another with different new ideas and technologies that we can bring to our clients and the market. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/83748/image/large-ba297103cd539c8d4ab60b4f1bdc43a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83748">How do you decide on which designer to work with? Is there a strategy behind the collaborations?&nbsp;We chose <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari Lenard</a> as he has designed many <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> yachts since the beginning of the 2000s. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/586" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Francesco Paszkowski (Company)">Francesco Paszkowski</a> because he is one of the best when it comes to designing a contemporary, very clever and beautiful looking explorer. We went for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lobanov (Company)">Lobanov</a> who, despite his young age, has already designed some of the most beautiful and largest yachts on the market. He is very capable of making special designs. We picked <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Andrea Vallicelli (Company)">Vallicelli</a> because his classic design work is also part of our history, and he has worked a lot in our corner. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/65" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nuvolari Lenard (Company)">Nuvolari</a> has created a more future-past innovative design whereas collaborations with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a> 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 Design</a> have created something special and different.&nbsp;Our strategy is very simple. We wanted to have a diverse and international group of designers. I think they are all so special and they all have tremendous experience and stories to tell - if we all had a dinner party together it would be a fantastic conversation to just sit down and listen to! <img src="/uploads/store/photo/83488/image/large-ca066280a284de479d349f4dca9dd229.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/83488">Have there ever been any thoughts to bring in an in-house design team at CRN?There are no internal designers like with our other brands, as we want to avoid having our designer community scared away by an internal design team. We start with a blank sheet and make sure the client’s talent, vision and inspiration are transformed into an initial design. Then, over time, it evolves as it is reworked and refined by our in-house teams of project managers, project architects, engineers, technical designers and specialist craftspeople who all work closely with the owner’s select team of architects and designers.&nbsp;What we hope is that <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/crn-reveals-new-explorer-yacht-concept-alfarosso" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">the explorer vessel designed by Mr Paszkowski</a> can become a very recognisable design for our company, maybe we can eventually make up to four units. Of course, each one will be a little bit different but that's probably the only design we see as something that could become a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/12" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CRN Spa (Company)">CRN</a> recognisable product. Otherwise, we want to stay completely custom.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/2118/image/large-564cdbae5cf12ab4b3952abcd38740ac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/2118">Where do you think that CRN fits in in terms of its branding and its position in the market? Is there a lot of competition?Unfortunately, there is a lot of competition. Especially because we have to remind the market what being a full custom yacht shipbuilder means. It’s very difficult to get the world to understand, evaluate and compare a custom manufacturer with some other manufacturers that tend to have recognisable products and designs&nbsp;This is why branding is important, but also the way we communicate our concept and ideas of a full-custom yacht. We feel stronger than we’ve ever been before because we have a very healthy group behind us with some very long-term thinking investors. We haven’t taken any profits at least since 2012 which means that we have been investing heavily in R&amp;D, new products and new people. If we continue this is means that we should be in an increasingly higher position as a manufacturer of full-custom yachts.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/2122/image/large-6acf5ecdc201f5d74a56c68e71520557.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/2122">How does CRN maintain its position in the market? Can you share any particular marketing strategies?&nbsp;Our marketing strategy always reflects the current market trends and ensures we have a project designed for that kind of clientele. The other thing we focus on is finding the sweet spot between the price to quality ratio. There is a certain richness to our vessels, so the allowances for interiors, systems and so on have to be acceptable. Clients cannot go lower than the package we provide as standard, which makes clients a lot less nervous about not knowing what they’re getting. Our ‘basic offer’ is very well accustomed to all of the needs of a client and its crew, on top of which you can add richness, by which I mean the options to have whatever you like!&nbsp;We also constantly organise events and meetings on a regular basis with our stakeholders to really show them what is in construction and the diversity of our projects. The other thing we focus on is the Ancona shipyard. If you visit you will see how well we have invested in the premises, especially building facilities. That is the most important thing as there is no better marketing than having very tidy and well-organised shipyard with the latest technology to build the yachts that our owners dream and desire.&nbsp;

CRN 141 motor yacht sold 

CRN has announced the sale of its latest custom superyacht: the 60m CRN 141 motor yacht. 

CRN to build new custom 60m Nuvolari Lenard-designed motor yacht 

With three superyachts currently under consruction, CRN has added another order to its order book with the sale of a new 70-metre custom motor yacht. Known for now as hull number 139, the project is the design work of Rome-based studio, Vallicelli Design.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/54823/image/large-5eef39d19466cf5b1ef2014f938221d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/54823">Both the exterior lines and interior arrangement of the project is the work of Andrea Vallicelli and Allessandro Nazareth who are the brains behind the project from its concept phase. CRN’s Technical Office worked closely with the yacht’s two designers during the process.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/54909/image/large-5153406b4c2ef6095d524f820b37a5b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/54909">No additional information has been disclosed by the shipyard. CRN’s next projects to hit the water are the 79-metre hull 135 and 62-metre hull 137, both scheduled to be completed in 2019. The 62-metre hull 138 is on schedule for a 2020 launch. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/7316/image/large-ad74910653d497deaaa92cf629de0827.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/7316">

CRN to build new 70m custom Vallicelli-designed motor yacht

CRN’s latest superyacht project, the 62-metre hull 137, has reached the next stage of her build. For this project, CRN teamed up with Nuvolari Lenard, who designed both the interior and exterior of the yacht, and CRN’s Technical Department, who developed the engineering of the project.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/14062/image/large-d3825a092edff6bdf7de982478afd1ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/14062">In recent weeks, the hull, already including part of the superstructure, was moved, and the rest of the superstructure is currently being mounted. After this, the installation of the various systems and the preliminary activities for furniture installation will be carried out.&nbsp;The design office opted for a straight bow design in order to increase the waterline length as well as internal volume, particularly around the forward crew areas. Her external look is contemporary, with swept lines and defining curves, and her profile is topped off with a trademark CRN-style mast. The owner’s quarters on hull 137 will be found on the upper deck, which is designed as a dedicated owner’s deck. The master suite leads out onto the aft deck and connects to a forward-facing lounge that can either serve as a private space for the owner, or be made available to all guests.The yacht will develop over five decks, and the layout will include a master suite and five VIP cabins which can accommodate up to twelve guests. CRN have two other projects currently under construction, the 50-metre hull 136, Superconero, and the 79-metre hull 135.
