YACHTS & YACHTING 45
At 52 metres in length , 9 metres in the beam and with a gross tonnage of 499 , the yacht spans 5 decks and accommodates up to 10 guests in the comfort of the main-deck owner suite and 4 VIP cabins below . There are also 6 cabins for the 11 crew .
CRN M / Y CIAO reflects the character of a knowledgeable owner with a passion for the sea . He was particular about the social zones , requiring roomy , comfortable open-air spaces linked with fluid precision to the large , luminous interiors . The magnificent outdoor areas – like the two sizeable lounges with sunbathing area and pool , one on the sun deck and the other on the main deck , or the ample al fresco dining area on the upper deck – are conceived as multipurpose convivial spaces for enjoying the open-air life to the full in intimate touch with the sea .
The interiors reflect an elegant simplicity and crispness of form with sophisticated details in an interplay of natural colour combinations . The architectural design is based on pure , continuous lines running through the spaces , uniting the variety of superior natural materials like marble , leather and solid woods while lending a sense of harmony and continuity .
To fulfil the owner ’ s express request for an informal on-board lifestyle with a welcoming atmosphere , CRN worked with Massari Design to create some extremely comfortable spaces . A key motif in the interior design is the warmth of the woods , offset by a prevailing sense of lightness in a conscious style choice featuring suspended furniture in a floating-design theme .
The predominant warm , intense , enveloping tones like gold , sand and orange for the finishes , furnishings and textiles in customised textures promote a cordial mood on every deck . The favoured woods are natural oak and walnut with horizontal grain , selected respectively for the floors and walls throughout . In the bathrooms , the
Bronze Amani marble in mole-grey tones with white and gold veining echoes the warm notes that suffuse the entire vessel .
The meticulous lighting design makes the spaces even more attractive and welcoming , as the soft , indirect illumination integrates sensitively with the furnishings to blend with the natural light . As with the owner suite , all the guest areas and cabins come with the very latest smart-automation technology . Thus guests can control and personalise the air conditioning system , the opening and closing of the curtains and blinds , the lighting – from the brightness to switching on and off – and , naturally , all the audiovisual kit .
The interiors were created with our in-house carpenters at Zago SpA , the Ferretti Group company set up over a century ago . Zago has grown from a small artisanal woodwork shop into an internationally renowned player on the bespoke naval-furnishing scene and a true champion of Italian excellence .
