A CRN yacht charter in Italy costs about €160,000 a week in high season for the typical yacht, plus expenses and VAT. Across the 17 CRN superyachts in our catalogue that cruise Italy, half fall between €120,000 and €300,000 a week.
The two we have profiled on this page are 1981 classics refitted since, at €89,000 and €140,000 a week for twelve guests.
CRN is the custom superyacht yard of the Ferretti Group, building at Ancona on the Adriatic coast. Most CRNs on the charter market are 130 to 200 feet long, with room for twelve guests.
Who builds CRN yachts, and what makes one different?
CRN was founded in Ancona in 1963 and has been part of the Ferretti Group since 1999. It builds fully custom yachts one at a time, so no two CRNs share a layout.
Across the 96 CRN motor yachts on our books, the typical yacht takes twelve guests in five cabins. Twelve is the legal limit for most charter yachts, so a CRN suits large families and groups of friends.
How much does a CRN cost to charter in Italy per week?
About €160,000 a week in high season for the typical CRN cruising Italy, before expenses and VAT. Half of the 17 in our catalogue fall between €120,000 and €300,000, and the yachts over 165 feet start at €300,000.

High-season weekly rates across our catalogue, October 2026.
Not every yacht in our catalogue is on this site. If you want a size you do not see here, ask and we quote it.
The rate is for the yacht and crew only. Add about 30% for the Advance Provisioning Allowance, which pays for fuel, food, drinks and berths, and 22% Italian VAT on the charter fee.
A €160,000 week therefore budgets at about €243,000 before gratuity. Our Italy yacht charter cost guide walks through every line, and the Italian charter VAT page explains what the 22% applies to.
Which CRN yachts have we profiled for Italy?
These two have a full listing on this site, each with live rates and dates on her card. Both are based in Athens and list Italy among their summer cruising areas.
| Yacht | Length | Built | Guests | Cabins | Low season | High season |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SOMETHING COOL | 149 ft | 1981, refit 2023 | 12 | 7 | €84,000 | €89,000 |
| WIND OF FORTUNE | 170 ft | 1981, refit 2020 | 12 | 7 | €120,000 | €140,000 |
Which CRN suits a large group or an event?
WIND OF FORTUNE is a 170 foot CRN refitted in 2020, for twelve guests in seven cabins at €120,000 to €140,000 a week. We have been aboard her, and she offers formal silver-service dining, a full gym with an ice bath and a gaming room with a racing simulator.
She can host more than 100 people alongside the quay for an event, which makes her a natural choice for a wedding party. Her 1980s style is part of the charm, and she appeared in the film Rush Hour 2.
SOMETHING COOL is the lower-priced of the two at €84,000 to €89,000 a week, refitted in 2023. She has stabilisers at anchor and under way, two jet skis, two Seabobs and a gym, for twelve guests in seven cabins.
Where does a CRN charter in Italy start?
Both profiled CRNs are based in Athens, so an Italian week usually begins after a delivery passage to Sicily, Naples or the Amalfi Coast. That delivery is quoted on top of the charter fee.
Several of the CRNs in our catalogue are already based in Italy or on the Riviera, so ask us for those if you want to start in Portofino or Sardinia. Our guide to where to start an Italy yacht charter compares the ports.
What is included in a CRN charter rate, and what is extra?
Every yacht on this page charters on plus-expenses terms:
- Included: the yacht, her crew, insurance and the water toys she carries.
- APA, about 30%: fuel, food, drinks and marina berths, paid up front and accounted for by the captain. Whatever you do not spend comes back to you.
- VAT, 22%: charged on the charter fee for a week that starts in Italy. It is not charged on the APA.
- Gratuity: at your discretion. In the Mediterranean it usually falls between 5 and 15% of the charter fee.
Berths are the line to plan on a yacht this long. Our page on marina versus anchor nights covers what to reserve in Capri and Porto Cervo, and how the APA works in Italy covers the rest.
When should you book a CRN for Italy?
For July and August, book nine to twelve months ahead. Large berths in Capri and Porto Cervo go early too, so we book the yacht and her nights ashore together.
June and September list lower and are easier to find. Our guide to the best time for an Italy yacht charter compares the months region by region.
Is a CRN the right yacht, or should you look at another Italian yard?
Choose a CRN for a fully custom superyacht with room for twelve. For a wider choice of 120 to 165 foot yachts, see our Benetti yacht charter guide, and for newer yachts with a sportier line, our Baglietto yacht charter guide.
If you would rather sail, our Perini Navi charter guide covers the large sailing yachts built at Viareggio. Every motor yacht we list for Italy is on our Italy motor yacht charter page.
