The New 79-Meter CRN Heads Out to Sea

Aug 07, 2019

CRN, the historic Ferretti Group superyacht yard, has now delivered another custom work of art to her owner. After the excitement of the private launch ceremony held in March, the new fully custom steel and aluminum M/Y 135 megayacht has left the extensive Superyacht Yard marina and is preparing to sail. This is a creation on a spectacular scale that fulfils the wishes of a selective, determined owner to perfection. His yacht is the fantastic result of a new collaboration between CRN , the specialist constructor of fully custom yachts, and the architects Zuccon International Project, who crafted the external lines, and Laura Sessa, who designed the interiors. At 79 meters long and with a beam of 13.5 meters, the M/Y 135 is a peerless yacht of smooth, eye-catching lines. She will entertain up to 12 guests on her five decks, accommodated in five VIP cabins and the owner’s suite. This new megayacht is the fruit of the masterly work of an accomplished team of almost 200 skilled professionals – from project managers and project architects to engineers, technical designers and specialist craftspeople. The team put their vast experience into making this a truly unique yacht, the fullest expression of the finest Italian-made excellence. In addition to this yacht, the superyacht yard is currently constructing another four fully custom yachts:

• CRN M/Y 137 (62 meters), to be delivered later this year
• CRN M/Y 138 (62 meters)
• CRN M/Y 139 (70 meters)
• CRN M/Y 141 (60 meters).

CRN M/Y 135 will be making her debut in a world premiere at the forthcoming Monaco Yacht Show , scheduled for September 25 - 28. She will be a highlight of the event, a shining example of the Italian shipyard’s craftsmanship, know-how and supreme construction expertise.

Athena: Inside the 79m Royal Huisman flagship yacht

Royal huisman's £70m schooner heralds a return to the golden age of yachting.

Words: Gentleman's Journal

There is something about a schooner that ultramodern super yachts simply cannot replicate. With its classic styling, Royal Huisman’s Athena epitomises this romantic tradition, and nothing beats cutting through the water in this 79 metre super yacht, with the wind in both your hair and the sails.

Designed by Dykstra Naval Architects – with input from the uniquely talented Pieter Beeldsnijder – Athena has all of the charm of a classic yacht, but none of the creaky build quality and dated technology.

Instead, this three mast schooner, one of the largest sailing yachts ever created, boasts carbon fibre gaffs with in-boom furling, 2,500 square meters of sail power and a maximum speed of 19 knots (crusing speed of 16).

Renowned interior designer Rebecca Bradley has created a plush, traditional design for all of the rooms and cabins. Dark stained mahogany throughout helps to afford Athena a look and feel of grandeur that evokes a bygone era of sea voyages. And, with three levels and five cabins, there is plenty of room for up to 10 guests.

On deck, the vast expanses of space are divided into more intimate areas that have been designed to optimise outdoor living. The beautiful varnished teak joinery is crafted to an exceptional standard, and a 360-degree bird’s eye view can be found from the 58 metre, hydraulically-hoisted crow’s nest.

Athena’s on-board navigation system is unrivalled following a refit in 2011, and this update is yet another instance of Royal Huisman’s flagship seamlessly blending traditional yachting art with modern technology. If you yearn for a return to the golden age of yachting, then this £70 million throwback is for you.

Polaris' point of difference is that it has been developed with an emphasis on yachting lifestyle, able to move from the warm waters of the Caribbean to the sub-zero conditions of Antarctica.

Polaris is a custom motor yacht launched in 2021 by Rossinavi.

Rossinavi is one of the world's most prolific builders of high-end luxury yachts and superyachts. Combining Italian class and style with world-class technological innovation and performance, each Rossinavi yacht is an exemplary embodiment of this shipbuilder's prestige on the global stage.

Polaris measures 70 metres in length, with a max draft of 3.35 feet and a beam of 12.7 feet. She has a gross tonnage of 1,560 tonnes.

Polaris also features naval architecture by Arrabito Naval Architects.

inside custom line navetta 38 yacht with leather walls, raffia surfaces and ‘3D oak ceilings’

Explore the design of custom line navetta 38 yacht.

In January 2024, Custom Line, a yacht brand of Ferretti Group , introduced its recent made-to-measure model, Navetta 38. In May 2024, designboom went to see its real-life model in Venice , anchored near the Venice Art Biennale 2024’s Arsenale and the Central Pavilion (Giardini). Alberto Galassi, the yacht’s owner and the CEO of Ferretti Group, was on board, joined by one of the interior design team members, architect Chiara Massarani of ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, and the water vehicle’s exterior designer, architect Filippo Salvetti.

Stepping inside, air and light mingle and pass through, and everything is open: all the full-height, wall-to-wall sliding windows in the main deck; the sea-facing beach club at the tail of the yacht with its modular and plush lounge seats and beach chairs; the warm lighting, exposed and hidden under the surfaces; the rounded teak doors, a signature detail for the entire line; the cabinets, the compartments, and the motors. There’s almost 465 square meters of total surface area for the Custom Line Navetta 38 yacht, extended across three decks, with each floor retaining a sense of openness and lightness, most of the time quite literally.

3D oak ceilings curve around the edges and corners

Pay attention to the interiors, the neutral palettes that enlarge, brighten up, and texturize the space. In the salons, raffia, a natural fiber, cloaks the walls in their organic forms, only cut and sized to fit the fittings. They’re interrupted by the presence of oak , from the ceilings to the floors. Glance up, and the guests can see the most distinctive feature in the interiors of the Custom Line Navetta 38 yacht: the ‘3D oak ceilings,’ hollowed-out and styled like mini slabs of wood. The handcrafted light wood curves around the edges of ceilings and the corners of the entire interiors. As architect Chiara Massarani tells designboom during the tour , the design aim is to avoid sharp and pointed edges. 

The interior is softened by the use of neutral colors such as beige and ivory. It must continue its promise of a gentle touch of design, underlined by the use of warm lighting throughout the Custom Line Navetta 38 yacht. ‘White light is too strong and not atmospheric,’ architect Chiara Massarani shares with designboom during the yacht viewing event. ‘Light in general is very important in a project. If you don’t use the correct lighting, it will have a completely different result in the project. For this yacht, we went for warm, soft lighting to bring the natural materials of the interior to light. We also used indirect and custom lighting to create some 3D effects and to make sure that the owner can adjust how they want the guests to see artworks within the yacht as the light changes direction.’

Leather walls and raffia surfaces in cabins and suites

On the main deck, there’s a passage leading to the master suite. In this lobby, there’s a staircase leading to the four guest cabins on the lower deck, two VIP and two guest cabins, all with their own double or twin beds, ample storage, closets, desks, and private bathrooms. Between these two spaces, two materials dominate the design landscape: natural leather and wood. Entering the master suite, the ivory raffia acts as the wallpaper of the entire bedroom. The 3D oak ceiling continues, and the use of oak and warm lighting permeate the bathroom too. And within this space, the natural leather begins, inviting itself as the star material for the master suite, staircase, and lower deck.

The headboard of the master bed? Leather. The surface of the desks that can be lifted up for extra storage? Crafted leather. The linings and edges of the cabinets? Lattice leather. The handrail of the teak staircase leading to the lower deck? Very leather, spiraling around the rail, looking like a luxurious candy cane. The walls on the lower deck? Definitely leather. Architect Chiara Massarani says it is an attempt to evoke the style of old-fashioned suitcases, a vintage traveler’s luggage turned into Custom Line Navetta 38 yacht design. Treated oak and teak grace the rest of the design elements of each deck in the yacht, filling out the spaces that raffia and leather would have cocooned in, acting as a complement to the overall neutral aesthetics. 

Walking up the upper deck, measuring over 90 square meters, more spaces for gathering and relaxing await. At the front, there’s a lounge area with a 180-degree panoramic view and a full-beam modular couch with coffee tables, all designed by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. In front of it, the dining area can accommodate up to 10 people with a rectangular table. Slide the door-doubling-as-windows open, and the guests find themselves inside the sky lounge. Three sides of this space are dedicated to full-height landscape windows that also serve as sliding doors, allowing for a scenic view and more openness.

Further forward, the pilot’s helm station breaks free from the neutral palettes carpeting most of the interior. In here, along with the advanced technologies to help them maneuver the Custom Line Navetta 38 yacht, the surfaces and primary color are charcoal black to reduce the infrared rays by up to 65 percent. This model is fitted with two MAN units rated at 1,400 hp that can drive the yacht to a top speed of 15 knots, with a range of about 2,800 nautical miles at an economy cruising speed of 10 knots.

Just outside the pilot’s station, directly at the bow, a sunset lounge is positioned, still comprising the custom modular units for its party-sized seating and a solarium with sun pads. Underneath this lounge deck, there’s a hidden garage that can accommodate the owner’s tender, or a jet ski and two water toys. If not these watercrafts, they can use the vertical garage as a storage area. Up another level, the sundeck greets the guests, with a total surface area of 65 square meters and a length of 15 meters. Look up, and some frosted-like boxes are embedded onto the ceiling, sheltering the guests from the sun and helping reflect the outside sunlight.

Outside, Custom Line Navetta 38 has a mix of hushed-down colors. Architect Filippo Salvetti, a frequent collaborator of Custom Line and the yacht’s exterior designer, explains to designboom that the brand’s boats are always born white, in contrast with the gray of the windows. It is the base color, the usher of additional shades at the client’s discretion. Choosing this light hue has a long-term upside too. ‘Light gray does not heat up too much, a crucial factor for an object that lives in the middle of the sea under the sun,’ architect Filippo Salvetti shares with designboom.

It wasn’t easy to open the interior to the exterior of the yacht for the design team during the initial phase. As architect Filippo Salvetti tells designboom, the salon windows opening increasingly towards the sea can cause an imbalance between the dark volumes of the glass and the light of the fiberglass. ‘Working in this direction, maintaining the right balance, is one of the most complex challenges of our work. Another element that can strongly influence the design is the safety regulations. For example, the presence of large masses necessary for the immediate drainage of water requires, more than ever, large openings on the side gunwales,’ he adds.

They had to consider this feature during the initial phase, to integrate and mask it within the overall design so it would come out subtly. In the end, the exterior and interior design teams managed to balance what the guests can and can’t see, laying down good aesthetics, practical needs, and safety all on one deck. The exterior architect opens up to designboom too, saying that unlike its predecessors, the Navetta 38 yacht has a more modern surface treatment and volume, making it larger than its predecessor, the 37. ‘The boat has expanded in width, height, and length. This, combined with the new design, tends to make the vessel perceived as a more majestic and imposing object,’ architect Filippo Salvetti shares with designboom.

When the tour is over, Alberto Galassi sits down on a large sofa planted on the sundeck, surrounded by journalists and their smartphones, recording his words about the Custom Line Navetta 38 yacht; the Miuccia Prada quote that stayed with him (about luxury being vulgar); being friends with Domenico Dolce of Dolce & Gabbana; how involved his wife was in choosing the colors and non-colors for the interior of his yacht, hence the spectrum of around eight shades of beige and ivory; and the renaissance of ‘la piazzetta’ (‘a small square’) inside the yacht, on the lower deck.

‘There’s a connecting area in front of the four cabinets where all the guests, when they cruise with me, might need to dress up or change, to talk to others after the evening, to comment. It’s like typical Italians discussing in the piazza (square),’ Alberto Galassi says during the roundtable interview. The ‘always being in style’ bit runs through his Italian blood and culture, enough to make some dark surfaces around the Custom Line Navetta 38 yacht glazed and mirrored, what architect Chiara Massarani describes as ‘black mirror.’ They reflect anyone and anything, creating a seemingly optical illusion, even if what they do is bounce off the images they see.

They can make the space more expansive, the lighting warmer, and the people multiply in numbers. They also double as subtle and quick mirrors, some semi-clear panels for a swift outfit check before the night and party go on. They’re present in the upper deck too, the favorite space of the Ferretti Group CEO. ‘I’m not an air conditioning guy,’ he shares in the interview. ‘I don’t like to be closed in an area, in a beautiful area like on the sea, with just air conditioning. I like the Alfresco dining style with open air. On the upper deck, the sliding doors open wide, creating a huge terrace on three sides. That’s the best feature in the world.’

Century-old sailing yacht Rhea deteriorates following failed relaunch in Greece

The 28-metre traditional tall ship Rhea is partially sunk following a "disastrous" relaunch from Cheimonas Shipyard in Chalkida near Athens. Rhea arrived for maintenance works in October 2023 with plans to spend the 2024 summer charter season based in the village of Lakka in Paxos. 

Captain David Ross told BOAT International that she has been left submerged since her failed relaunch on 18 April. He added that there has been little intervention from the authorities.

"[This is] a Greek tragedy in the making. The 'comprehensive' insurance cover is yet to send a surveyor, the shipyard denies responsibility, and we are stuck in a perfect storm of legal and bureaucratic complications whilst Rhea deteriorates," said Ross. "Our lawyer and others are working hard for us, but in the meantime we will be starting  a Go Fund Me page for Rhea to get her recovered, repaired, and back to chartering."

The shipyard agreed to repair Rhea following original damages done by an incorrect hauling. According to Ross, a rapid relaunch and faulty sledge resulted in Rhea taking on water.

"She would have sunk completely if I had not driven the bows onto the shore at the last moment," Ross explained. "During this time we kept telling the yard we were sinking. They did not believe it until it was too late. We called the coast guard but even with their help we could not stop the inundation."

In 1900, Rhea (then Kjerstine ) was delivered by Nyborg Shipyard as a stone transport vessel. She has sailed under several monikers and been used as a charter yacht and touristic attraction since the 1970s. In 1989, David and his wife Penny purchased the yacht and recommissioned her.

Rhea is built entirely in oak and can accommodate eight guests and five crew. She is fitted with a single MAN diesel engine.

The extent of the damage is yet to be confirmed. BOAT International has reached out to the shipyard for comment.
