CRN
Since its inception in 1963 by Sanzio Nicolini, CRN – an acronym for 'Costruzioni e Riparazioni Navali' – has evolved from constructing small craft to producing larger, luxury vessels, becoming a celebrated manufacturer of luxury Italian yachts. With a range of steel hulls and aluminium superstructures extending from 40 to 90 metres, CRN joined the Ferretti Group in 1999, enhancing its global standing.

Founded in the historic maritime city of Ancona, Italy, CRN has established itself for reliable superyacht craftsmanship, blending centuries of naval tradition with cutting-edge technology. Nestled in a region that has been a maritime hub for over 2,400 years, CRN's shipyard is a testament to a harmonious blend of nature, industry, history, and innovation. The shipyard spans almost 80,000M²/861,112.8ft², with over 33,000M²/355,209ft² of indoor space dedicated to the construction of luxury vessels up to 90 metres in length.
As part of the Ferretti Group, the CRN shipyard has become a centre of excellence for superyacht construction, equipped with facilities such as a 670-ton travel lift, capable of launching metal and composite yachts up to 50 metres, as well as handling the extraction of numerous yachts for testing. This expansive shipyard also features nine modern, high-tech sheds complete with comprehensive technical systems, alongside a private tourist marina that stretches 250 metres along the coast.
