CRN is an Italian superyacht yard in Ancona, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, across the sea from central Croatia. It was founded in 1963 and builds custom yachts in steel and aluminium. We list 3 CRN yachts whose listings name Croatia as a cruising area, from a 40 metre yacht refitted in 2024 to a 52 metre classic from 1981. None of the three is based in Croatia: all three have their home port in Athens.
They count down from #3, the smallest, to #1, the biggest, by listed length. Lengths, guest counts and rates are as shown on each listing, so ask us for current pricing.
Starting prices on this page run from about €84,000 per week (SOMETHING COOL) to €130,000 per week (PARADISE), and the listed ranges go up to €150,000 per week. These are the figures on each listing, before APA and any applicable taxes; ask us for your dates.

What Makes a CRN, and What These Three Share
The Ferretti Group, which also owns Riva, Pershing and Custom Line, bought CRN in 1999, and CRN is now the group’s brand for custom yachts in aluminium or steel and aluminium, up to 90 metres long. Two of the three yachts below, WIND OF FORTUNE and SOMETHING COOL, were built in 1981, long before the Ferretti years, and their listings give the builder as CRN Ancona. The third, PARADISE, was built in 2006.
All three have been refitted since 2020: WIND OF FORTUNE in 2020, SOMETHING COOL in 2023 and PARADISE in 2024. All three are Athens-based and list Croatia among their cruising areas; tell us your dates and we will confirm routing and availability.

… can host over 100 for a dockside event, making her a natural pick for weddings. … Fun fact: she appeared in Rush Hour 2 with Jackie Chan.
A Sample Week on SOMETHING COOL
SOMETHING COOL’s listing names Croatia among her cruising areas and gives Athens as her base, so she is our example; ask us how a Croatian week would be arranged. Here is a seven-day week taken from our own Trogir round-trip itinerary page. It is a generic route, not a programme set by the yacht or her owner: the boarding port, the positioning from Athens, the passage plan and your dates are all agreed with the broker and captain, and your captain adjusts the order to conditions. SOMETHING COOL takes 12 guests in 7 cabins.
- Day 1, Trogir to Milna on Brač. A sheltered natural harbour on the island’s west coast, and an evening walk through the village.
- Day 2, Milna to Hvar. Hvar Town’s fortress and main square, or a quieter anchorage in the Pakleni Islands.
- Day 3, Hvar to Korčula. A swim stop at Šćedro, then Korčula Town, nicknamed the small Dubrovnik.
- Day 4, Korčula to Lastovo. A swim at Badija, then about 20 nautical miles on to the bay of Zaklopatica, with almost no light pollution for stargazing.
- Day 5, Lastovo to Vis. Komiža or Vis Town, and the Cold War-era catacombs and bunkers on a guided tour.
- Day 6, Vis to Šolta. An anchorage in Šešula Bay and dinner at Maslinica.
- Day 7, Šolta to Trogir. A 7 nautical mile hop back, and Trogir’s UNESCO old town before hand-back.
What a CRN Charter in Croatia Costs
On the listings, SOMETHING COOL shows rates from €84,000 to €89,000 per week, WIND OF FORTUNE from €120,000 to €140,000 per week and PARADISE from €130,000 to €150,000 per week.
Those are charter fees only, before APA and any applicable taxes. The APA is an advance paid on top to cover running costs such as fuel and food, and it is confirmed in the contract, so ask us for the figure on the yacht you like. See our Croatia vs Greece guide if you are weighing the two.
Planning a CRN Week in Croatia
All three listings give Athens as the base port, so ask us how a Croatian week would be arranged. Most Croatian weeks start in the Split area, near the airport, and some in Dubrovnik; our guide on how to get to your Croatia yacht charter has the drive times. Our guides to Hvar, Vis, Korčula and Dubrovnik cover the islands and towns along the way.
Tell us your dates and how many guests, and we will check which of these CRNs is free and send you the brochures.
