A letter of intent for a 77-meter CRN could turn into the second-largest megayacht in the shipyard’s history if she gets built. The 252’6” project is for a Middle East client, who intends to use her in that region, too.
The largest CRN to date is the 262’5” (80-meter) Chopi Chopi,.whose owner took delivery just last year. The new project will outrank Azteca, the ex-Clarena II from 2011. The new yacht is larger by about 23 feet (7 meters).
To be clear, CRN still builds mid-range megayachts starting at about 131 feet (40 meters). However, a few years ago, it further set its sights on the upper end of the megayacht spectrum. Lamberto Tacoli, chairman and CEO of the shipyard, says the 77-meter CRN is “ambitious.” Additionally, he says, she represents “a new challenge in such a strategic market as that of the Middle East.”
Scarce details are available about this 77-meter CRN, other than that she’ll have a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, tradition for CRN builds. Styling and naval architecture are from Studio Zuccon International Project and CRN Engineering. Laura Sessa is handling interior design.
