We are looking for relevant press for an exclusive press trip to the headquarters of luxury yacht manufacturer CRN, a brand of the Ferretti Group. From Thursday 21st - Friday 22nd March, CRN will welcome guests to their shipyard in Ancona Italy, where outstanding mega yachts are created. The trip will include an overnight stay in Bologna.

This is an opportunity to see up close the recently launched €80 million Chopi Chopi, at 80 metres the largest yacht ever created by CRN and one of the biggest in the history of Italy, currently residing in Ancona having the interiors fitted.The 60m J'Ade is nearing completion and will be available for a rare on-board tour before delivery to the owner at the end of the month.

The shipyard tour will provide a brief overview of the luxury brand's history and offer unique insight into the billionaire buying process from start to finish; the initial planning, involvement of the architecture department to a behind the scenes look at several yachts at different stages of construction. There are currently 8 vessels being manufactured at the shipyard; a very high number for any superyacht manufacturer, highlighting the current success this luxury brand is experiencing.

The press trip will include lunch at a charming local restaurant widely known for regional specialities and seafood, where the Chairman takes new owners to celebrate the completion of their ''palaces on water''.
