Project 135 moves sheds at CRN


The 79 metre yacht named CRN Project 135 was recently moved between sheds at the Italian yard.




CRN Project 135 will be the second-largest yacht built to date at the Ancona yard when launched next year.

Designed in-house by the CRN Engineering team with exteriors by Studio Zuccon International and interior design by Studio Laura Sessa.
The hull and superstructure are now largely complete, with the cut-out section in the aft of the yacht hinting at a side-loading superyacht garage.

CRN 135 will accommodate 12 guests across six cabins, as well as up to 39 crew members. It is one of the most important and innovative launches in the 54-year history of CRN Yachts.

Power will come from a pair of Caterpillar diesel engines for a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots.

Ancona shipyard has three more projects under construction : the 74 metre Cloud 9, the 62 metre CRN Project 137, and the 50 metre CRN Project 136 Superconero.

New luxury sport yacht!


New high-performance runabout is launched by Marquis and Toyota team.



This 42-foot open sports boat is informed by the Lexus design language.
It made its debut on 12 January at a Lexus-hosted "Through the Lens" global media event in Miami, Florida. The idea came about when Toyota’s CEO, Akio Toyoda, was testing one of the marine division's new boats that use Toyota diesel engines and the result is certainly a step up the luxury ladder from the mid-90s

Lexus Sport Yacht concept has 880 horsepower that provide a top speed in excess of 40 knots.

"This project used all the in-house capabilities we have at our disposal,” says Josh Delforge, Vice President of Design at Marquis, “including engineering, modelling, mould-making, lay-up of composite structures, metal shop fabrication, upholstery, paint and other techniques, to come to life."

The Lexus project was kept under the radar during development and although the prototype is up and running, much like a concept supercar it is intended as a one-off project and sadly there are no current plans to put it into production.
