CRN M/Y AMOR À VIDA, with a length overall of 67.55 metres, a beam of 11.80 metres and a gross tonnage of 1447 GT, designed with sleek and sporty lines – is the latest totally made-to-measure creation by CRN. Displacement hull, built from steel and aluminium, with sleek and distinctive lines: the superyacht continues the Italian shipyard’s bespoke tradition.
The yacht spans six decks and can accommodate 12 guests and 17 crew. The guest cabins are redistributed between the owner’s suite on the Upper Deck, a full-beam VIP cabin forward on the Main Deck, and four VIP cabins on the Lower Deck.
Perfect distillation of the expert know-how, the bespoke yacht design and the construction quality that characterise CRN which, together with the Engineering Team at CRN and Ferretti Group Superyacht Division, developed the naval architecture. Italian yacht design firm Nuvolari Lenard, led by Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard, designed both the exteriors and the interiors. The interiors were created in a joint effort with Interior Art Director from Nuvolari Lenard Valentina Zannier.
Brokerage house Moran Yacht & Ship played a key role as the owner’s representative, overseeing project management activities throughout the entire construction process. Moran Yacht & Ship’s supervision covered all stages of the project: technical checks and approvals, direct project coordination, on-site inspections, and support managing external contractors.
The owner and his guests deploy the superyacht for private cruises and in dedicated periods of the year AMOR À VIDA is available for chartering.
Born as Project Maranello, the origins of the design lie in the owner’s passion for the world of luxury cars and recall a symbol of Italian excellence, high technology and custom design. The exterior styling has a sophisticated elegance, with an articulated design that showcases sleek, taut, flowing, powerful and sculpted lines, revealing a strong identity that can embrace the owner’s specific requirements, echoing his vision and way of living on the water. The striking curved lines of the yacht’s silhouette sweep down from the bow on the Upper Deck to the beach club and merge into the wake when cruising. The main mast dominating the entire structure completes the elegant combination of curved forms that make this yacht unique.
On all the decks, full-beam glazing on every deck offers endless views of the horizon, in a visual continuum that tracks the yacht’s elegant external architecture, creating evocative reflections, flooding the settings with natural light, and establishing constant contact with the water.
Not least in her name, AMOR À VIDA (Love for life in Portuguese) embodies the owner’s philosophy of life, a celebration of conviviality and the magic of the sea experience, providing a peerless vantage point from which to explore the world’s oceans and seas. The yacht’s leitmotiv is sociability, thanks to a seamless fluidity between indoor and outdoor spaces, which are designed specifically to welcome guests into generous, functional and refined settings that feature exquisite design and maximum comfort: shared moments in perfect harmony with the sea.
All the guest areas, including the lounges and outdoor spaces, are fitted with easy-to-use home automation and entertainment systems managed directly using tablets and QR codes, enabling an advanced automation of all the areas
The detailing in the interiors is meticulously designed, thanks to the exquisite bespoke craftsmanship used to create a language of discreet luxury. The pale, muted colour tones alternate not only on the walls, ceilings and floors, but also on the freestanding furniture, in a carefully crafted colour continuum. The woods, furnishings and fabrics with custom textures reveal a clear theme that’s perfectly aligned with an exquisitely crafted project and with a refined and contemporary bespoke aesthetic.
As a main trait of the colour mood board of the interiors, the peacock blue is the fil rouge, very elegant and sophisticated, which embodies the owner’s great passion for the sea.
The flowing volumes also conjure up a fluid and elegant aesthetic of the lines, one that’s reprised not only in the yacht’s silhouette but also in the interiors, where in fact there are no sharp corners or edges.
Innovative solutions are used to power AMOR À VIDA: the hybrid propulsion system, which increases the fuel consumption efficiency of both the main engines and the generators, translates into smooth, silent cruising, while the cutting-edge heat recovery system significantly reduces energy consumption and operating costs, particularly when the yacht is anchored offshore.
Like a blank canvas, this superyacht is designed so that the owner can imprint his vision on the interior spaces in the form of decoration systems, colour schemes and marine-themed detailing.
CRN has worked with the owner’s project management team, the owner’s representative Moran Yacht & Ship, design firm Nuvolari Lenard and selected subcontractors to achieve the highest standards of excellence in terms of quality, design, innovation and performance, delivering craftsmanship at the very highest level and leading-edge solutions.
The Main Deck integrates the interior and exterior spaces, creating continuity and a sense of openness in even more extensive social areas on board. The aft deck has a generous welcome and living area organised around a large swimming pool. Equipped with an advanced heat recovery system to ensure the ideal temperature, it features a transparent bottom – which lights up the underlying beach club – and peacock-coloured mosaic tiles with hydromassage jets for absolute relaxation, not least thanks to two comfortable seats on either side of the pool and two stools at one end. Completing the solarium area are two sun loungers.
The furnishings in the aft deck’s lounge and welcome area are all custom made, including two generous oval-shaped up & down tables, plus two curved sofas from which to watch the drop-down TV screen concealed in the ceiling. There is a skylight in the floor to illuminate the beach area below with natural light.
A large, sliding, windproof glass panel flush with the floor leads to the beating heart of AMOR À VIDA— the impressive main lounge. Designed for convivial social occasions, it features settings that are light- filled, radiant and sophisticated, it echoes the owner’s desire to enjoy this space with his loved ones, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows offering spectacular views outside. The ceilings clad in polished sycamore, alternating with pale nubuck inserts, create a velvety, natural atmosphere, while the columns are entirely clad in hand-stitched leather to add more character to the space. The floor of this living area is covered in prized Java teak.
The dining area, which looks out over the water through expansive glazing on the starboard side, is designed for more formal occasions, featuring a completely custom oval table with an exclusive design seating up to 12 guests. On the opposite side, the classic crystal quartzite American bar alongside it is a unique prestigious work of art in this setting. it is created from plaster casts of marine ropes laid out horizontally – alternating with teak inserts – and it features a top crafted from a single piece of crystal quartzite. The marine rope is a pattern found in many elements: from the top of the American bar to the furniture in the living space of the Main Deck. Another distinctive symbol which conveys the owner’s love of cruising and the life onboard.
This artistic table, created as a unique piece, occupies the centre ground, separating the dining area from the living space. It creates a central niche of artworks, which can be admired from throughout the entire salon, and points up each artistic detail and furnishing.
Further forward is the generous living area, furnished with a custom sofa and a large TV screen. The cabinet under the screen features decorations on the front which are reminiscent of the maritime symbols on the American bar and the pattern on the rug in the sofa area.
Continuing along the deck, the central lobby reveals the meticulous consistency required by the owner in the geometrical designs developed: the custom teak and metal floor reprises a meticulously crafted, circular graphic design, requiring extreme precision, symbolising craftsmanship at its most exquisite.
Harmoniously integrated within the geometric scheme is the spacious circular elevator – enriched on the inside with refined details, such as the handrail in woven leather – connecting all decks of the superyacht up to the Bridge Deck. The staircases are a further element of decorative and formal continuity. The steps blend seamlessly into the lobby wall through delicate curved lines, creating a cohesive and harmonious geometric pattern.
Located on the port side of the Main Deck, Upper Deck and Bridge Deck, the generous service pantries are designed to be extremely functional for the crew to use. The long corridor extending from the lobby to the bow – containing the day head for guests featuring a classic backlit glass pedestal washbasin – leads to the full-beam guest suite. The layout of the suite is designed to be split into two cabins by a moving partition.
As desired by the owner, each guest cabin on the yacht is decorated in a different colour, in this case peacock blue, complemented by two types of wood (teak and sycamore). The walls feature an evocative interplay of curves rendered in wood and metal, adding a more dynamic feel to the space.
The tenders and toys are housed in the full-beam garage at the tip of the bow. The main tender is the IC Yachts custom limo tender, featuring hallmarks reminiscent of AMOR À VIDA’s lines and bespoke interiors inspired by Bugatti, revealing the owner’s passion for cars. This tender reaches a top speed of 35 knots. The second one is a traditional Ribeye model YT602 tender, with a length of 6.2 metres and equipped for water skiing.
This area also offers a wide selection of water toys, including jet skis, water bikes, wakeboards, kayaks, a Jobe Binar Towable SUP, Seabobs and diving gear.
Completing AMOR À VIDA’s on-board equipment is a high-performance 43CC Mag Bay chase boat. Powered by three Mercury 600 outboard engines, the boat is designed to cater to a wide range of guest activities, from excursions to water sports involving towable toys.
Aft, the beach club on CRN M/Y AMOR À VIDA was designed as a strategic space with multiple functions and uses, harmoniously combining elegant design and attention to detail in generous, welcoming and functional spaces. Designed right from the outset as a space offering total well-being, the area features three fold-down sections at the water’s edge. The innovative stern door, a unique feature for a yacht this size, fully retracts beneath the structural swim platform, disappearing from view and reducing the spatial and visual impact. This dual mechanism points up the aesthetics and the functionality of the area. The beach club has a lounge with a fitness area and wellness spa, featuring two large fold-down walls to enjoy contact with the sea. A specially designed gym is located here, containing a space where the floor has been lowered to increase the available height and make it safer to use the equipment. The fitness equipment can be used both in the area with the lowered floor, as well as on a terrace that opens out on the starboard side, the ideal location for gym gear or a standing bike, as well as for a water- level work-out.
The wellness area consists of a sauna, a steam room with understated styling and clad entirely in travertine marble, and a day head with a custom sapphire blue glass washbasin. These settings are enhanced by an entire wall formed of a slab of rocky marble. Completing the beach club is an oasis of relaxation with a fold-down wall overlooking the sea in the fully appointed massage room.
The interior section of the beach club is finished in warm teak, with LED strip lights in both the ceiling and floor to complement the natural light provided by three skylights—one (central) overlooking the aft deck and two positioned to great effect under the swimming pool.
The Lower Deck features the four VIP cabins with en-suite bathrooms, each decorated in a different colour to add the owner’s bespoke touch to every space. Red, blue, orange and yellow – the four colours chosen together with sophisticated custom-made furniture and furnishings – define an expertly designed setting featuring sophisticated woods, leathers and fabrics, as well as other fine materials in keeping with the rest of the interiors, such as teak for the walls and furnishings and nubuck for the coverings and wave-like detailing, echoing the craftsmanship also found in the bed headboards. In each private bathroom, the washbasins with Taj Mahal marble vanity tops are positioned opposite the windows, featuring sliding mirrors that reflect natural light around the space and make it easier to install protective barriers during long voyages.
Continuing towards the bow, there is the crew area, exemplifying the build quality of CRN in the technical and service areas too, where the finishings and detailing are all high quality. The design of the crew area has been a distinctive feature of the yacht from the outset, revealing a particular focus on the well-being of everyone working on board. The generous crew quarters, equipped with a spacious service pantry, are laid out along a central corridor, with one cabin for the chief officer, one for the first officer and seven double cabins, all spacious and featuring details and materials in keeping with the décor of the yacht.
Every area of the owner’s deck is bathed in natural light thanks to extensive full-beam glazing in the interior spaces reserved for the owner. In the stern, the guests can enjoy a generous multi-purpose outdoor space, thanks to a large custom- made teak table with marble inserts that can seat up to 16 guests, plus a propane barbecue and the American bar with a red agate desk requested by the owner, for convivial moments in the open air to share with family and friends. The exterior space is completed by two large custom-made curved sofas in beige leather, paired with two central low tables featuring built-in bioethanol fireplaces.
The sky lounge is an incredibly refined space with a cocoon-like atmosphere, surrounded by water on three sides of the yacht. This too is a multifunctional space, with a lounge area featuring comfortable custom-made sofas and armchairs arranged around two coffee tables and refined sculptures that are the perfect match for the gaming table, and the screening wall. In harmony with the Main Saloon on the deck below, the interiors feature light shades of nubuck.
Forward, the lobby captures the attention thanks to a balcony overlooking the Main Deck, to impressive windows onto the external walkways, and to the mirror-clad columns that create fascinating plays of light between exterior and interior.
The lobby leads to the rest of the owner’s apartment: the owner suite, a panoramic oasis of privacy and refinement. The three main spaces have a fluidity and volumes that are designed to ensure privacy, functionality and comfort. The study has a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door to access the side walkway and offers sea views throughout. The polished sycamore interior decor, with curved finishings, reflects the style of the rest of the superyacht. The furnishings, from the sculptural corner desk to the finishings, give the study a refined look and feel.
One of the two doors leads to the panoramic owner suite, which is surrounded by large floor-to-ceiling windows offering 180-degree views and looks out onto the comfortable and functional outdoor area in the bow, with a lounge designed with a sofa that has a fold-down backrest to offer uninterrupted views. One of the design details is the skylight above the double bed, which offers an infinite view of the sky and the stars but is also fitted with a blind. The furnishings and their finishes alternate polished sycamore andnubuck, with curving volumes that tap into an elegant and fluid aesthetic free of edges and corners, also reprised on the ceilings.
The walk-through closet is designed to provide stylistic continuity. The surfaces, clad in nubuck, metal and 3D lacquered resin, have a vertical motif on the panels and on doors that disappear into the wardrobe space when open so as not to obstruct the corridor. The custom-made chests of drawers, with a polished sycamore pattern, metal frames and resin tops with horn handles, are designed to establish continuity and, at the same time, stylistic distinction.
The owner bathroom is the result of a special design process and artisanal craftsmanship, which made it possible to reproduce the complex geometries specified by the owner. The space is generously sized and there was a special focus on the stylistic continuity of the interiors, involving the curvature of the walls and heated floors that are adorned with wave onyx, as are the bathtub top and the steam room.
The walls are ribbed Taj Mahal marble crafted strip by strip, and the rest of the bathroom is polished sycamore. The elegant bathtub, with the same ribbed Taj Mahal marble covering, runs parallel to the sea- facing windows, mirroring the two washbasins with vanity area. The owner can also enjoy the wellness area with steam room function. Like all the bathrooms, it has underfloor heating and all the glass surfaces used in the showers and mirrors are anti-fog.
Further forward, a spacious and multifunctional private outdoor living and social area unfolds. A cutting-edge setting, enhanced by refined teak details and flooring, designed for intimate moments of conviviality immersed in a unique atmosphere.
The multi-purpose outdoor recreational and social area in the stern features an additional solarium area for guests to relax in: a Jacuzzi tub and sunbathing area that connects to the outdoor lounge and the American bar with a crystal quartzite top, also fitted with an Italian pizza oven capable of baking up to four pizzas at the same time. Completing the setting is a TV screen for karaoke evenings, ideal for convivial moments.
Moving forward through the lobby, the convenient double pantry is open not only to the crew but also, at the owner’s request, to family and guests, giving them more independence in these spaces. Continuing along the port side of the yacht, the captain’s cabin has access to the wheelhouse and the chart room.
The deck is completed by the Wheelhouse, which is clad entirely in teak and leather and fitted with integrated monitoring panels, a Forex top and a chart table. The printed leather cladding on both ceiling and walls has a decorative motif featuring a detailed map of an area chosen specifically by the owner, adding a personal and bespoke touch that conjures up indelible memories.
Home to the technical equipment and radar, this deck is an additional outdoor space for the owner. Organised as a large sunbathing area with movable backrests, it can quickly be transformed into a private cinema under the stars. Three stool-style seats complete the bow area, allowing passengers to admire the view from directly above the wheelhouse.
CRN M/Y AMOR À VIDA’s propulsion and onboard energy management are based on an innovative hybrid propulsion system that boosts the fuel consumption efficiency of both the main engines and the generators.
The superyacht is powered by two MTU main engines (12V4000 M63 1500kW@1800rpm) and two synchronous AC electric motors by Siemens Energy (400V and 200kW each), delivering a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots.
The result is a more fluid and silent yachting experience at the impressive speed of 15 knots, while also minimising environmental impact.
The yacht is IMO TIER III certified. CRN M/Y AMOR À VIDA also has a cutting-edge heat recovery system that optimises hot water management for the pools and the entire plumbing system. By recovering and reusing surplus heat, the system significantly reduces energy consumption and operating costs, at the same time as ensuring that water is available quickly and consistently throughout the yacht for various uses, including cleaning the decks and filling the pools.
Thanks to her special characteristics and exhaustive studies of vibration and noise reduction performed by the Engineering Team at CRN and Ferretti Group Superyacht Division, the superyacht is particularly silent and offers the highest standards in comfort and liveability from this point of view too, both in port and when cruising in open waters.
The signature value of CRN lies in its construction and design expertise, combined with the ability to give shape to every request made by the owner and his vision: the culture of bespoke craftsmanship, that finds its fullest expression in this superyacht and in every stage of the construction process, makes each boat unique, as well as the owner’s personal experience.
