The 67m Project Maranello at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard

CRN expects to launch the 67m Project Maranello in the first half of 2025, with the hybrid superyacht the first of four large superyachts expected in the water in the coming three years. The yacht, known internally as M/Y 143, features exterior and interior design by Venice-based Nuvolari Lenard and naval architecture by CRN Engineering.

The hull and superstructure arrived at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona on Italy’s east coast last year, since when CRN teams have focused on carpentry, fitting out, machinery, systems, equipment and hull priming and painting. Moran Yacht & Ship is the owner’s representative and project manager.

Project Maranello features exterior and interior design by Nuvolari Lenard

Built for an owner concerned about safeguarding the environment, Project Maranello will feature a hybrid-propulsion system for enhanced energy efficiency and significantly improved fuel economy. The megayacht features accommodation for up to 14 guests and 17 crew.

CRN’s other projects include the 86m M/Y 144, which is the brand’s biggest build to date and is expected to launch in 2026. The yacht features exteriors designed in collaboration with Italy’s Vallicelli Design and naval architecture by CRN Engineering.

The 70m Project Thunderball at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard

In 2027, CRN is scheduled to stage two launches including the 70m Project Thunderball (M/Y 145), whose hull and superstructure arrived in Ancona earlier this year. Ongoing work includes carpentry, the fitting-out and installation of machinery, systems, equipment and furniture, as well as priming and painting of the hull. Y.Co is the project manager and owner’s representative.

Italy’s Nauta Design handled the interior design and outdoor furniture, while Dutch studio Vripack designed Project Thunderball’s external lines and developed the naval architecture in collaboration with CRN Engineering. Technology features a Peak Shaving System, an energy-saving solution that keeps the electricity curve as flat as possible.

The 67m M/Y 146 is Nuvolari Lenard’s 10^th design for CRN

CRN also expects to launch the 67m M/Y 146 in 2027, three years after signing the project earlier this year with Moran Yacht & Ship, which also sold and represents Project Maranello. The yacht marks the 10^th CRN yacht designed by Nuvolari Lenard, which handled both exteriors and interiors, while CRN Engineering developed the naval architecture.

Technology includes hybrid propulsion and a heat-recovery system that reduces fuel consumption by using the thermal energy from the generators to heat the water in the pools, water boilers and deck-washing system. Standout features include a touch-and-go helipad on the upper deck, a dive centre and an extensive beach club with water toys.

The executive offices opened in December 2023

The CRN facilities also constructs metal yachts by other Ferretti Group brands, with current projects including several all-aluminium builds: hull five of the Pershing 140, the second Custom Line 50 and the first two hulls of the Riva 54Metri.

The Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard is also home to Custom Line’s composite range, with typically about 25 of the brand’s superyachts simultaneously under construction in the sheds or at the finishing and testing stages on the docks before delivery.

The new building houses offices, meeting rooms and hospitality areas

The Ancona site also features new executive offices and hospitality areas, which opened in December 2023. Offering about 4,200sqm of floor area across three levels, the new building houses over 150 employees and features a majestic glass entrance leading to a custom steel staircase that connects all the floors and is finished in marble.

Warm tones of cognac are used for common areas like the entrance, lobby and stairs, while shades of air force blue are used in the offices and meeting rooms.
