It’s always exciting to take delivery of a new megayacht. When owners do that around the end of the year, of course, it makes for very merry holidays. The owners of the CRN yacht Comfortably Numb had her in their hands prior to Christmas. They are now enjoying their first cruising season in the Caribbean.
The yacht went by her hull number during build, CRN 141, plus celebrated her christening last September. She’s entirely aluminum, standing five decks high. Right from the start, the owners wanted a project capable of doing things differently. In fact, they wanted a high-performance vessel with a draft complementing West Indies island cruising. Considering that Comfortably Numb is nearly 198 feet (60.33 meters) in length, high performance is atypical. According to CRN, the superyacht exceeds 25 knots and cruises at 22½ knots under MTU power with in-line propellers, not waterjet boosters. Weight monitoring of all materials throughout construction was crucial to performance. The shipyard therefore employed methods like cork-backed teak decking. It continues monitoring weight and her center of gravity via wifi to this day as well.
Just as the owners were firm on the performance requirements, so too, were they firm in other matters. In fact, they wanted both their guests and their 13-person crew to have high-ceilinged and voluminous-feeling areas. A total of 12 passengers can stay aboard, enjoying airy staterooms and lounges. Overall volume aboard is 1,114 gross tons. Although no images or further details are available on the ambience, the owners worked with the Nuvolari Lenard design studio. The same studio gave Comfortably Numb a lively, vibrant profile.
Even before heading to the Caribbean, where she spent time in St. Thomas, the yacht Comfortably Numb made stops in a few places. These include Montenegro.
