After launching 74 m 'Cloud 9' CRN takes its bespoke naval art to the Middle East

Ancona, February 20, 2017

CRN, the historical ship builder and Italian brand, part of the Ferretti Group, specialising in the construction of fully-custom steel and light aluminium alloy pleasure vessels between 40 and 100 meters in length, will be taking part in the Dubai International Boat Show, to be held from February 28 through March 4. CRN will be present at the Boat Show with a stand in the SYBAss area, which gathers all the leading superyacht builders in the world.

The Boat Show held in the United Arab Emirates, which this year is reaching its 25th edition, is one of the most prestigious showcases of international yachting and will offer the CRN Atelier the opportunity to promote its heritage and personalized approach to shipbuilding, which allows it to design and build truly unique bespoke yachts.

The return of the historical Italian brand to the Dubai International Boat Show confirms the key role the Middle East is currently playing in CRN’s strategy. The shipyard will indeed be presenting its outstanding design and building expertise to a market that is still growing and recognizes the prestige of “Made in Italy.”

“The Middle East, together with Europe, is one of the most important markets for CRN - comments CRN's Chief Commercial Officer Stefano De Vivo. "The Dubai International Boat Show is an excellent venue and opportunity for us to showcase the excellence of our naval art to passionate customers through our latest creations and new concepts. CRN’s objective is to craft made-to-measure yachts focused on the customers’ needs, without limits, so that our clients can enjoy unmatched comfort at sea just as they do in their homes".
