Amor À Vida: CRN’s 67.55m Hybrid Superyacht Debuts at Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026

Delivered in May 2025, CRN’s Amor À Vida (project Maranello) arrived in the U.S. as one of the Palm Beach International Boat Show’s most discussed superyachts. The 67.55‑metre, full‑custom steel‑and‑aluminium yacht marries Nuvolari Lenard’s flowing exterior lines with interiors overseen by Valentina Zannier, and is presented as a family‑focused long‑range cruiser underpinned by hybrid propulsion.

Design and architectural intent

At 221 feet overall and spanning six decks, Amor À Vida foregrounds visual lightness. Full‑beam glazing on every deck and an extensive use of dark glass reduce perceived mass and reinforce continuity between interior and exterior spaces—an explicit request from the owner. The yacht’s restrained exterior palette gives way to carefully placed bursts of colour inside, where bespoke detailing signals a domestic, beach‑house sensibility rather than formal yacht opulence.

Hybrid propulsion and sustainability

CRN’s first hybrid superyacht pairs two MTU 12V4000 M63 diesel engines with Siemens Energy synchronous electric motors. The arrangement produces a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of around 15 knots, while an economy mode extends range to approximately 5,200 nautical miles at 12 knots. Complemented by an onboard heat‑recovery system and advanced noise‑ and vibration‑reduction measures, the package is IMO Tier III compliant—an important technical statement about reduced environmental impact without sacrificing transoceanic capability.

Accommodation and social planning

The yacht accommodates up to 14 guests (12 in a commercial charter configuration) across seven suites, supported by a crew of 17. The main deck can be configured as a full‑beam VIP or subdivided into two suites; the lower deck houses four VIP cabins, each finished in a distinct colour scheme—red, blue, orange and yellow—using custom furniture and Taj Mahal marble vanities to provide restrained individuality.

Outdoor living is central to the layout. The main aft deck frames a lounge and dining area around a pool with a transparent bottom that visually connects to the beach club below. Three fold‑down platforms create terraces at water level; the beach club itself contains a sauna, travertine steam room, a massage room with a fold‑down bulwark and a gym. The owner’s deck features a 180‑degree glazed suite with private study, walk‑through wardrobe and a bathroom clad in Taj Mahal canneté marble, plus a private foredeck terrace.

Materials, mood and onboard systems

Interiors employ polished sycamore, nubuck, Java teak flooring and leather‑clad columns. The overall palette remains neutral—beige, grey and light woods—with peacock blue used as a unifying accent. Rounded custom furniture and the absence of sharp thresholds reinforce a fluid, informal ambience. Home‑automation and entertainment systems are accessible via tablets and QR codes throughout the yacht.

Presence at Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026

Moored at Ramp 4 – Berth IW 443, Amor À Vida served as the centrepiece of the Ferretti Group’s six‑yacht exhibit. The showing emphasised CRN’s blend of bespoke Italian craftsmanship and technical refinement, with visitors able to tour the yacht’s social spaces, hybrid systems and wellness‑focused beach club. The presentation reinforced CRN’s positioning in the American market as a yard that pairs traditional build quality with contemporary sustainability initiatives.

The visual narrative: Maurizio Paradisi

Photographer Maurizio Paradisi worked with CRN to document the yacht’s profile and interiors. His images—published alongside official releases—stress the interaction of light and surface on the sculpted exterior and the intimate, warm mood of the interior spaces, while highlighting the colour‑coded guest cabins and the yacht’s glass‑forward façades.

Why this matters

Amor À Vida arrives at a moment when owners and builders are actively balancing long‑range capability with lower environmental impact and more domestic onboard atmospheres. Its hybrid propulsion and heat‑recovery systems demonstrate how established yards are integrating emissions and comfort‑focused technologies into full‑custom projects. Equally important is the yacht’s programming: wellness spaces, flexible suites and a family‑oriented flow reflect evolving priorities among the ultra‑high‑net‑worth owners commissioning large custom yachts today.

Key highlights

• CRN’s first hybrid‑propulsion superyacht, combining MTU diesel engines with Siemens electric motors.
• Full‑beam glazing across six decks for continuity between inside and outside spaces.
• Wellness‑oriented beach club with sauna, steam room, massage room and gym, linked visually to an aft pool.
• Owner‑centred upper deck with 180‑degree glazing, private study and walk‑through wardrobe.
• Distinctive colour‑coded guest cabins that provide individuality within a cohesive interior scheme.

Amor À Vida is both a technical statement and a lifestyle proposition: a long‑range, near‑silent cruiser designed for family life at sea. Its US showing at PBIBS 2026 underlined CRN’s intent to present hybrid technology and bespoke Italian design as compatible rather than compromising—an increasingly important selling point for owners who want range, comfort and a reduced environmental footprint without sacrificing bespoke luxury.
