History and shipyard
CRN was founded in 1963 in Ancona by Sanzio Nicolini, originally under the name Costruzioni e Riparazioni Navali. The shipyard has long been associated with metal yacht construction, using steel and aluminum from its early years. Its Ancona facility is described as a large inland-and-coastal production site with extensive covered construction areas, and CRN later became part of the Ferretti Group in 1999.
Models and construction
CRN focuses on pure custom yachts rather than a large open-model range. The builder produces steel and aluminum superyachts and megayachts, with sources describing builds up to 90 metres in length. Current corporate material presents CRN as a custom shipyard creating yachts from a blank-sheet approach, while industry directories list motor superyachts and semi-displacement yachts among its historic production categories. Catalog references to models such as CRN 43, CRN 128 and Ancona 43 reflect the brand's broader backlist rather than a current production line.
