CRN LAUNCHES NEW 79-METRE YACHT, A PERFECT FUSION OF CREATIVITY, EXPERIENCE AND IMPECCABLE CRAFTSMANSHIP

The new megayacht M/Y 135 glided onto the water today in an exciting private ceremony attended by over a thousand people. 

Ancona, 16 March 2019– Today, CRN has launched the M/Y 135, the new fully custom steel and aluminium megayacht. Over a thousand people were there to witness the occasion at an elegant private ceremony, where the majestic personality of this magnificent ship took centre stage, to the delight of all who have worked to design and build her. At 79 metres long and with a beam of 13.50 metres, the M/Y 135 is a majestic yacht with real personality. Her sleek lines catch the eye, crisply emphasized by the smooth profile of her hull. She is the fruit of another successful collaboration between CRN and the architects Zuccon International Project, who took care of the external lines, and Laura Sessa, who designed the interiors. With five decks accommodating 12 guests in five VIP cabins plus the owner’s suite and a 39-strong crew, the new 79-metre yacht by CRN is the fullest expression of the yard’s passion for excellence – the product of the masterly work of an accomplished team comprised of exceptional project managers, project architects, engineers, technical designers and specialist craftspeople. Nearly 200 consummate professionals contributed their vast experience to make this unique creation.“Giò Ponti used to say that the interior décor of a ship spoke volumes about the standards of the civilization that offered its hospitality on that ship”, said Alberto Galassi, Chairman and CEO of CRN and CEO of Ferretti Group. “Turning to the new 79-metre yacht by CRN, I would say that both the exterior and the interiors – and in general the impeccable design of the whole ship – are a glowing testament to the supreme skill and construction excellence that are the hallmark of our historic yard in Ancona. M/Y 135 is a wandering work of nautical art that will be a worldwide flagship for the dazzling mastery that only Italy at its best can create.”
