CRN has splashed the 70m Project Thunderball at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona in a private launch ceremony attended by the yacht’s owners and their family. The clients purchased the yacht in 2022 and have been represented throughout the build of the steel-and-aluminium project by Y.Co.

Featuring an overall length of 70m and an 11m beam, the 1,100GT superyacht features exterior design, preliminary naval architecture and general arrangement by Vripack. The Dutch studio drew a profile defined by sleek, sailboat-inspired lines, with a sharply raked bow and gently curved bilges.

Images of the custom superyacht show the hull painted in a striking combination of dark blue and cherry red, punctuated by two silvered lines running the length of the yacht.

Italy’s Nauta Design was responsible for the interiors and the design of the outdoor living areas,

with a particular focus on comfort and spatial flow. CRN has described the interior decor as “timeless”, with features blending “a deep connection to maritime culture” and a “modern, refined aesthetic”.

The guest areas are spread over four decks, which includes accommodation for up to 12 guests in six cabins and 15 crew in nine cabins.

CRN revealed that Project Thunderball is equipped with a specialised energy storage system to increase efficiency and reduce fuel usage while at anchor, with the added benefit of fully silent operation.

Project Thunderball will undergo sea trials and final outfitting before being delivered to her new owners later this summer.
