CRN has chosen the Monaco Yacht Show 2022, from 28 September to 1 October, to unveil the world première in partnership with TWW Yachts of M/Y RIO, its latest true-custom nautical work of art.

Delivered to her owner in the spring, the new 62-metre superyacht will be a highlight of the event, a shining example of the Ancona yard's artisanal skill, design expertise and supreme construction quality.

CRN M/Y RIO was designed and built by CRN in close collaboration with design and architecture studio Omega Architects, who created the exterior concept, and designers Pulina Exclusive Interiors for the styling inside.

TWW Yachts is representing the owner, while TWW Yacht Management has provided integral technical consultancy with survey and project management oversight throughout the final stages of construction.

The taut, flowing hull lines and near-vertical bow exude a strikingly dynamic, sporty personality and a remarkable harmony between the extensive interior and exterior spaces. The result is a strong impression of even greater volume and a breathtaking unity between inside and out. The distribution and quality of the spaces reflect the character of an owner with a passion for the on-board life, who wanted large, luminous indoor and outdoor living areas for a shared cruising experience with his family and close friends.

With 4 decks, one entirely dedicated to the owner, and a 11.2-metre beam, the new 62-metre superyacht comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests in the owner suite and 5 guest cabins. These comprise 2 full-beam VIPs - one on the main deck forward, the other on the lower deck - and 3 suites on the lower deck, namely 2 doubles and a twin. There are 9 cabins for the 15 crew. The vessel has a top speed of 15 knots and cruises at 12 knots.

CRN M/Y RIO embodies an advanced contemporary concept of on-board living, where the comfort is set off with sublime details selected with consummate care. In a mingling of exquisite materials and bespoke colour combinations, the prevailing upbeat white tones are set off by a judicious mix of lively pops of colour with vivid exotic décor inspired by vibrant motifs. The tropical mood concept has been created for the younger family members, with a bright, happy atmosphere throughout.

The latest CRN masterpiece, M/Y RIO has been built to her owner's vision with an enlightened blend of fluid harmony and openness in the indoor and outdoor spaces and sophisticated interior design.
