Italian yacht builder CRN has added another distinguished accolade to its legacy of bespoke yacht building, with the 67-metre M/Y Amor à Vida receiving Robb Report’s coveted “Best of the Best” 2026 Award in the Yachting category.
Presented annually by Robb Report, the awards celebrate the pinnacle of excellence across the worlds of design, travel, automobiles, watches, gastronomy and yachting. Now in their 38th year, they remain one of the most respected honours in global luxury.
Delivered in 2025, Amor à Vida exemplifies the artistry, precision and innovation that have become synonymous with CRN. Conceived as a fully bespoke project, the yacht combines advanced engineering with exceptional design, resulting in a vessel that feels as much a floating residence as it does a superyacht.
Built in Ancona by the Ferretti Group-owned shipyard, every detail reflects the enduring appeal of Italian craftsmanship. From the yacht’s elegant exterior lines to the carefully curated interiors, each element has been considered with remarkable attention to detail. Rich materials, bespoke furnishings and expertly executed finishes create an atmosphere of understated sophistication, while advanced technologies operate seamlessly behind the scenes to enhance life on board.
The project brought together the expertise of CRN and the Ferretti Group Superyacht Division with the celebrated design studio Nuvolari Lenard. Interior Art Director Valentina Zannier collaborated on the yacht’s highly personalised interiors, ensuring every space reflected the owner’s vision while maintaining a timeless sense of elegance.
The recognition also celebrates the wider culture of excellence that exists across Ferretti Group’s portfolio of iconic brands. Drawing upon decades of expertise in design, engineering and owner experience, CRN occupies a unique position within the superyacht world, transforming highly individual dreams into extraordinary realities.
Commenting on the award, Stassi Anastassov, Chief Executive Officer of Ferretti Group, said:
“Robb Report’s ‘Best of the Best’ is far more than an award for a single yacht. It is recognition of an extraordinary culture of excellence built over decades across Ferretti Group. CRN represents the highest expression of everything we have learned as a company about design, engineering, innovation, craftsmanship and the art of creating unforgettable experiences on the water. When an owner commissions a yacht from us, they are not commissioning a hull. They are commissioning the soul of everything we have learned over decades, across every one of our brands — Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Itama, Wally, Custom Line and CRN.
A yacht like Amor à Vida is what happens when decades of Italian creativity, craftsmanship, engineering and imagination come together in service of a single owner’s dream, a rare ability to transform Italian design culture, lifestyle and luxury know-how into something truly exceptional. What makes this recognition so meaningful is that it celebrates not only technical excellence, but the values that have always defined Italian luxury at its best: beauty, innovation, craftsmanship, emotion and an uncompromising attention to detail. Amor à Vida is a magnificent expression of those values, and we are honoured that Robb Report has recognised not only an extraordinary yacht, but the people, the culture and the pursuit of excellence that made her possible.”
For the world’s most discerning yacht owners, Amor à Vida represents something increasingly rare: a vessel built entirely around an individual vision, where craftsmanship takes precedence over convention and every detail is executed without compromise. Her recognition by Robb Report confirms not only her status as one of the finest yachts delivered in recent years, but also CRN’s position at the forefront of contemporary bespoke yacht building.
Amor à Vida is celebration of Italian creativity, technical mastery and the enduring appeal of true craftsmanship. Luxury isn’t enough, we live in an era where clients expect more and CRN delivers.
