The vertical bow, curving lines, and striking exterior color scheme of CRN’s Voice all turn heads when she cruises by. Since delivery last year, the 203-footer (62-meter) has remained solely in her owner’s hands, embarking on private travels and little to no publicity. Therefore, few details have emerged about how she came to be, and what she features.
Until now.
Here, we share 12 fascinating facts about the yacht, most of which are disclosed for the first time. Altogether, they help paint a picture of how the owner and project-management team behind CRN’s Voice worked. Furthermore, they reveal how, generally speaking, collaborating with the shipyard can be for customers commissioning custom craft of their own.

Meeting of the Minds
- CRN’s own project-management team and the owner and his team met more than 40 times to define the details for completing particular lines of the yacht.
- For interior details, the owner and his team held more than 80 meetings with CRN’s project-management team.

Metal Matters
- 60 craftspeople contributed to the hull construction of CRN’s Voice, while 40 worked on the superstructure. They include carpenters, grinders, and welders.
- Approximately 280 tons of steel were used for her hull, with 96 tons of aluminum were used for the superstructure
- Hull construction took about eight months, and superstructure construction lasted about six months.
- About 80 direct CRN employees, from interior and exterior artisans to engine mechanics and even plumbers, contributed to her construction.

Paint Particulars
- The owner of CRN’s Voice wanted her hull color to replicate that of one of his favorite cars. Therefore, specialists created about 35 color samples by mixing four different types of metal.
- Ultimately, the megayacht shows off four custom colors with Axalta metallic finish. Specifically, they are Smokey Quartz for the hull, Silver Sand for the superstructure, Jet Black detailing on the ports and mast, and Crystal Silver for her bootstripe.

Luxury Living
- CRN’s Voice has a dedicated owner’s deck, comprising 1,722 square feet (160 square meters) inside and two ample alfresco areas for private use
- Ensuring a peaceful ambience, sound levels are just 55 to 60 decibels. Indeed, 70 tons of insulating material is aboard, twice as much as typical for a superyacht this size.

Tech Talk
- By contract, Voice needed to reach a top speed of 16 knots; she actually hits 16½ knots, and has a range of 5,500 nautical miles
- The megayacht is the first CRN to meet IMO Tier III requirements, therefore reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by 70 percent.
