CRN’s secret superyacht

Last year proved a successful one for multi-brand Italian yacht builder Ferretti Group, which posted revenues for 2022 topping €1 billion.

It looks like 2023 will continue in a similar vein with a number of projects in build across the group’s various divisions, including several at CRN – the shipyard that builds the group’s largest and most bespoke yacht projects.

On 10 March, the CRN yard manoeuvred the 72-metre project MY 139 to launch using motorised hydraulic lift trucks to transport the 1,270-ton dry weight of the steel and aluminium yacht from her construction shed to the slipway. The yacht was then launched in a private ceremony.

The project, which was sold in November 2018, has been kept largely under wraps but her dynamic lines come from the boards of Vallicelli Design with naval architecture undertaken by CRN.
