Italian yard CRN has announced the delivery of the 67.6-metre Amor à Vida. The full-custom superyacht (previously known as Project Maranello) was last spotted in January of this year, when she hit the water for the first time at the Ferretti Group superyacht yard in Ancona, Italy.
Constructed in steel and aluminium with a displacement hull, Amor à Vida is the brainchild of CRN and Nuvolari Lenard, with the Italian designer penning both her exterior styling and interior design. Valentina Zannier, known for her work on the 115.1-metre Ahpo, collaborated on the interiors.
Elongated windows on each of her six decks add to her taut and powerful profile: a style choice from Lenard that is said by the yard to "fully embrace the owner’s specific requirements [whilst] embodying his vision and lifestyle." A gentle slope leading towards the beach club area also adds to the yacht's elegant profile. Accommodation on board the 1450GT yacht is for 12 guests and 17 crew.
Moran Yacht & Ship has been acting as the owner's representative and project management team throughout the build process.
According to CRN, the project reflects the shipyard's commitment to sustainability, which resonated strongly with the owner who wished to incorporate environmental safeguards into the design. The result is an "innovative" yacht with state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion for enhanced energy efficiency and improved fuel economy. A heat recovery system has also been fitted on board.
Following sea trials, she has a confirmed maximum speed of 16 knots and cruising speed of 15 knots.
Amor à Vida is the first of four full-custom CRN yachts currently in build or on order at the Ancona facility, including the 85-metre CRN 144, 70-metre Project Thunderball and 67.6-metre CRN 146.
