CRN M/Y Amor À Vida: 67-metre full-custom superyacht with hybrid propulsion

CRN, the Ancona-based shipyard within the Ferretti Group, has completed M/Y Amor À Vida, a full-custom superyacht measuring 67.55 metres LOA, 11.80 metres beam and 1,447 GT. The displacement hull, built in steel and aluminium, spans six decks and accommodates 14 guests (12 in the commercial-service configuration), with a crew of 17.

The project, internally known as Project Maranello, was developed in terms of naval architecture by the CRN Engineering team and the Ferretti Group Superyacht Division. Exterior and interior design are by the Italian studio Nuvolari Lenard, led by Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard, with Valentina Zannier, the studio’s Interior Art Director, collaborating on the interiors. The name means “Love for life” in Portuguese and reflects the owner’s philosophy. Brokerage house Moran Yacht & Ship managed the project on behalf of the owner throughout the entire build process.

The exterior profile features continuous curved lines running from the bow of the Upper Deck down to the stern beach club. Full-beam glazing on every deck ensures visual continuity between indoors and outdoors. The yacht is intended for private cruising and, during dedicated periods, for charter.

The interior scheme relies on material continuity: polished sycamore, light nubuck, Java teak flooring, and columns clad in leather with hand-stitched detailing. The colour blue peacock serves as the chromatic thread throughout. Each guest cabin has a different dominant colour chosen by the owner. Volumes are free of sharp angles, with curved surfaces echoing the yacht’s exterior silhouette.

The Main Deck features an aft cockpit with a swimming pool that has a transparent bottom illuminating the beach club below, finished in blue peacock mosaic with hydromassage jets. The lounge area includes custom furniture, up-and-down coffee tables and a retractable TV. A sliding glass door opens onto the main saloon, which includes a dining area seating 12 and an American bar in classic crystal quartzite, decorated with plaster casts of maritime ropes alternating with teak inserts. The rope motif recurs throughout the furniture, from the handrail to the saloon cabinetry. A circular lift connects all decks up to the Bridge Deck.

Forward on the Main Deck lies the full-beam VIP cabin, divisible into two rooms via a movable partition. The Lower Deck houses four VIP cabins with en-suite bathrooms, each dominated by a different colour (red, blue, orange, yellow), with custom furnishings and washbasins topped in Taj Mahal marble.

The beach club on the Lower Deck aft has three fold-down platforms at water level. The stern hatch retracts entirely beneath the structural swim platform – a mechanism CRN describes as unique for yachts of this size. The area includes a fitness zone with a lowered floor, a fold-out terrace on the starboard side, a sauna, a travertine-clad steam room, a massage room with a fold-down bulwark overlooking the sea, and a day head with a blue sapphire crystal washbasin.

The Upper Deck is reserved for the owner. Aft, an outdoor space holds a teak-and-marble table for 16 guests, a propane barbecue and a bar with a red agate desk. The sky lounge includes a cinema area and a gaming table. The owner’s suite, with 180-degree glazing and a skylight above the bed, comprises a study with direct access to the side walk, a walk-through wardrobe and a bathroom with Taj Mahal canneté marble walls, bathtub and steam room. Bathroom floors are heated and finished in wave onyx.

The Bridge Deck houses a jacuzzi with sunpad, a bar with crystal quartzite top fitted with a pizza oven, a double pantry accessible to guests as well as crew, the captain’s cabin and the Wheelhouse, which is clad in teak and leather with a printed-leather decoration reproducing a geographical map selected by the owner. The Crows Nest, the uppermost deck, hosts technical instrumentation and a sunbathing area convertible into an open-air cinema.

The bow garage on the Main Deck stores a custom limo tender by IC Yachts with Bugatti-inspired interiors and a top speed of 35 knots, a 6.2-metre Ribeye YT602 with a water-ski pole, and water toys including jet skis, seabobs, kayaks and diving equipment. A Mag Bay 43CC chase boat with three Mercury 600 outboards completes the fleet.

Propulsion is hybrid: two MTU 12V4000 M63 main engines rated at 1,500 kW at 1,800 rpm, paired with two Siemens Energy synchronous electric motors of 200 kW each at 400V. Maximum speed is 16 knots, cruising speed 15, with a range of 5,200 nautical miles at 12 knots. The yacht is IMO Tier III certified. A heat-recovery system manages hot water for the pools and the onboard hydraulic system, reducing energy consumption, especially at anchor. The CRN and Ferretti Group Superyacht Division Engineering team also focused on vibration and noise reduction.

The yacht is classed by Lloyd’s Register of Shipping. All guest areas feature home-automation and entertainment systems operated via tablet and QR code.
