The greatest value that has guided us, for more than fifty years, is passion: the same one guiding our clients. We love to sail together with them. Merging as part of the Ferretti Group in 1999, CRN is the acronym of “Costruzioni e Riparazioni Navali”.

Sanzio Nicolini founded CRN in 1963 and started building small craft, before moving on to producing larger luxury yachts. CRN manufactures luxury yachts with a blend of steel hulls and aluminum superstructures ranging from 40 to 90 m in length. The CRN yacht bow structure is an unmistakable trademark of their stern designs.

The CRN semi-custom range of yachts build using composite materials are from 29 to 43 m in length. Based in Ancona, Italy, CRN is becoming increasingly well known for its building and design of large steel super yachts over 50 m. CRN is known for composite planning custom line yachts, and composite displacement yachts, ensuring CRN’s status as one of the industry’s leading superyacht designers and innovators.

Currently, CRN’s building projects include mega yachts of over 70 m in length, blending luxury, comfort, and high performance into its state-of-the-art yachts. Having launched over 115 yachts, CRN’s shipyards build tailor-made mega yachts in steel and aluminum from 29 to 90 m.
