CRN engaged two big names for the 70 metre long custom project with the construction number 145: Studio Vripack supplied the construction and exterior lines, while Nauta Design contributed the interior and furniture for the outdoor areas. The result is called "Thunderball" and is a steel and aluminium construction with a rather classic and timeless look, an elongated bow, a flat profile and lines that are somewhat reminiscent of a sailing yacht.
This is no coincidence. The owner, who was represented by the brokers at Y.CO, is a passionate sailor who naturally ordered a corresponding companion yacht under sail for this set-up. "Thunderball" will serve him as a base for diving and fishing trips and will primarily cruise in the Mediterranean and off the coasts of Florida and the Bahamas.
This could largely be done with low emissions: Powerful battery packs support hotel operations for sustainable travelling. Twelve guests and 15 crew members are spread across the five decks in a relaxed atmosphere. A width of eleven metres and a volume of 1100 gross tonnes provide ample space.
The Nauta interior can also be described as timeless, with various allusions to the theme of "life at sea". The strikingly styled thunderball is not alone at the Italian Ferretti Group's large yacht shipyard: three other custom formats with the CRN logo are currently being built on the site in Ancona in lengths of 67, 72 and 85 metres.
