CRN Yachts is an Italian luxury yacht builder that has engraved a remarkable chapter in the marine industries' history books. The business was initially established by Sanzio Nicolini as Costruzioni e Riparazioni Navali (CRN) in 1963 in Ancona, a city on Italy's Adriatic coast. The company's mission was to conceptually design and mechanically develop custom-made yachts with a focus on superior comfort, design and safety.
CRN Yachts' project portfolio has greatly evolved over the years, expanding to include mega-yachts ranging from 40 to 100 metres in length. The brand's innovation, artisanal craftsmanship and passion for the sea have allowed it to maintain its standing as a world leader in the luxury yacht sector. The business was taken over by the Ferretti Group in 1999, another prominent player in the yachting industry, allowing CRN Yachts to tap into more resources and reinforce its core competencies.
Today, CRN Yachts continues to operate from its historical headquarters in Ancona, where it was first established. The company utilises a dedicated area of more than 80,000 square metres, including a large, technologically advanced shipyard that extends over 1,000 metres along the seafront. Here, the talent and expertise of over 180 specialist engineers, designers and craftspeople collaborate to develop and produce bespoke vessels that are recognised and sought after worldwide.
