A bold hull from Ancona
Blue Eyes, built as CRN hull 126, arrived in 2009 as one of the yard's most distinctive and confident statements. She was a full-custom project for an owner who clearly wanted a yacht with genuine personality. CRN's proven steel-and-aluminium construction gave the designers real freedom to chase a long, racy form. She stands out even within the yard's varied and busy fleet of the period. Her arrival showed just how far CRN would go to realise a genuinely bold brief.
The commission leaned into character where many yachts of the time played it safe. CRN engineered the hull to carry an elongated profile and a deep, confident colour. The build showed the yard's willingness to fully support a strong creative brief. Blue Eyes became a memorable chapter in CRN's expressive late-2000s run. She proved a large yacht could carry real individuality without ever losing its polish.
Zuccon's racy dark-blue profile
Studio Zuccon International Project gave Blue Eyes an elongated, racy profile that still turns heads today. The imposing dark-blue hull is her clear signature, rare at this size and beautifully judged. Long lines and a low, lean superstructure make her look genuinely fast even at anchor. She is quite simply unmistakable in any busy harbour. That deep colour reads differently in every changing light, which only adds to her striking presence.
The exterior was drawn to frame relaxed outdoor living across each of her decks. Clean surfaces and generous glazing keep the whole look modern despite her years. Zuccon's deep familiarity with CRN shows in how resolved the volumes are. She carries her signature colour with real confidence in any light. Few yachts of her generation have such a strong and instantly recognisable silhouette.

Smania's ancient China and Oceania theme
Inside, the designer Fabrizio Smania created a richly themed interior drawing on ancient China and Oceania. The guiding narrative runs through the materials, artwork and fine detailing right across the yacht. It gives the rooms a real sense of place and story that very few yachts even attempt. For an owner it is an interior with genuine, deeply felt character. Each space feels carefully considered, with a clear cultural thread running through the whole of it.
The layout accommodates up to twelve guests in warm, immersive and characterful comfort. Social spaces are shaped by the guiding theme and reward a closer, unhurried look. The design suits guests who enjoy an interior with a clear and confident point of view. A crew of fourteen supports the whole experience discreetly and well. Life aboard feels like stepping into a carefully curated world of its own.
Steady steel-hull cruising
Blue Eyes rides on a displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure. The naval architecture came from CRN's technical office, tuned for a comfortable and stable ride. Her machinery was specified for reliable cruising across the Mediterranean and well beyond. The emphasis throughout is on calm, dependable passage-making in all conditions. She was built to travel in real comfort while still turning heads on arrival.
For an owner that reassuring steadiness suits both long ocean cruises and relaxed weeks at anchor. Systems were sensibly arranged for straightforward operation and easy maintenance in port. The clever layout keeps tenders and water toys well out of the guest areas at all times. She remains an easy and genuinely rewarding yacht to enjoy day to day. Her rare blend of strong character and real capability is unusual at this length.
Who she suits
Blue Eyes suits an owner who wants real presence and a yacht with a genuine story to tell. Her deep dark-blue hull and themed interior set her clearly apart from her contemporaries. Up to twelve guests travel in warm, characterful and welcoming comfort across her decks. She is very well matched to owners who place a high value on individuality. She rewards an owner who wants a yacht that nobody else in the anchorage will mistake.
She also appeals to buyers seeking a distinctive CRN from the yard's expressive late-2000s period. Her Zuccon exterior gives her lasting visual appeal on the water. She has since cruised under later names on the brokerage market. That strong character still sets her apart from her contemporaries today. For a buyer she offers genuinely standout design at an approachable point in the 60 metre range.
المحركات والأنظمة
| Engines | 2 x Caterpillar 3512B diesel, 1,940 hp (1,455 kW) each, 3,880 hp (2,910 kW) total, confirmed by YachtBuyer and Nautipedia independently. |
|---|---|
| Top speed / cruising speed | 14 knots top, 11 knots cruise, per Boat International's May 2023 listing and YachtBuyer. Older listings cite 15 knots top and 14 knots cruise, likely uncorrected legacy data; the more recent figure is treated as current. |
| Range | About 4,000 nautical miles (transatlantic) at 11-12 knots cruise, confirmed by Boat International and Nautipedia/YachtBuyer. Some older listings cite 3,000nm and are dropped as unreconciled. |
| Fuel tankage | About 107,000 litres, confirmed independently by Nautipedia and TheBoatDB. A separate YachtBuyer listing cites 117,000 litres, likely post-refit or listing-specific, and is flagged as unreconciled. |
| Fresh water tankage | About 20,000 litres, confirmed independently by Nautipedia and TheBoatDB. The same later listing cites 24,000 litres, unreconciled. |
| Stabilisers | Naiad zero-speed fin stabilisers, active both at anchor and underway, confirmed by CharterWorld and an independent write-up. |
| Classification | Built to Lloyd's Register 100 A1 SSC with MCA LY2 compliance per Nautipedia and Superyachts.com/CharterWorld. A 2023 Boat International brokerage listing instead describes her as RINA classed, a genuine discrepancy across sources that should be confirmed against current class papers before any transaction. |
| Generators | Not independently confirmed. Only one source specifies 2 x Caterpillar C9, 175 kW gensets; no second source corroborates make or output, so this figure should be treated as unverified. |
| Bow/stern thrusters | Not publicly published in any source reviewed. |
| Watermaker | Not publicly published in any source reviewed. |
| Engine room access | Not publicly published in any source reviewed. |
| Hull and construction | Steel hull, aluminium superstructure, teak decks, dark-blue hull livery, consistent across every source. |
ما يذكره الملاك والأطقم
Positioned as the flagship of the 2009 Genoa Boat Show
At the yacht's public debut, Ferretti Group's own sales leadership called her out by name as the show's centerpiece vessel: 'We are incredibly proud to be in Genoa with the flagship of the boat show, CRN 60m Blue Eyes.' This is a genuine on-record statement about this specific yacht, not generic brokerage copy, but it comes from the builder's own marketing leadership rather than an independent owner, captain or crew.

نقاط القوة وما يستدعي الانتباه
نقاط القوة
- Distinctive, non-generic interior conceptThe ancient-China/Oceania theme by Fabrizio Smania is unusual for a 2009-era full-custom 60m and differentiates her from the more generic contemporary-Italian interiors typical of the period.
- Elevator to all decks plus a large beach clubConfirmed across three independent listings; genuine lifestyle amenities for guests with limited mobility or for entertaining, not brokerage puffery given the consistency across independent listings.
- At-anchor stabilityNaiad zero-speed stabilisers, confirmed by two independent sources, meaningfully improve comfort at anchor, a real consideration for a yacht likely to spend significant time at anchor in the Mediterranean or Caribbean.
- Genuine transatlantic rangeA confirmed roughly 4,000nm range at economical cruise is a real, usable capability, not just a brochure number, and is corroborated by an independent 2023 brokerage description.
- Recent interior refitA May 2023 listing describes a significant interior refit, meaning the yacht was materially updated within the last few years rather than left entirely original since 2009.
ما يستدعي الانتباه
- Modest performance by current standards14 knots top speed and 11 knots cruise are unremarkable for a modern 60m and noticeably slower than newer full-custom builds in her size bracket, a straightforward function of her 2009-era propulsion package.
- Inconsistent published specifications across brokersGuest capacity is reported as either 12 (original configuration, 6 cabins) or 14 (later brokerage listings), crew as either 13 or 14, tankage figures differ by roughly 10 percent between listings, and classification society is given as both Lloyd's Register and RINA depending on the source. None of this is necessarily wrong, but it signals that the yacht's public paperwork has not been kept fully consistent across her ownership history, a real diligence flag for a prospective buyer.
- Soft resale historyAsking price fell from roughly EUR 29.5 million to EUR 26.5 million by a January 2021 sale, and a further relisting in May 2023 cut another EUR 1,550,000 to EUR 27,950,000 despite the interior refit. That pattern points to real resistance in the market for a 2009-built 60m against newer competition, not just routine negotiation.
- Age of major systemsAt 16-17 years old as of 2026, her main engines, generators (whatever they in fact are) and stabiliser package are at or approaching the age where major surveys and overhaul spend become material, and none of the generator, thruster or watermaker detail needed to assess that risk is publicly available.
- Unclear current market statusNo source reviewed confirms whether she is currently for sale, chartering, or laid up. The most recent detailed listing data found dates to 2023, and current ownership beyond aggregator-level reporting is not independently confirmed by a primary brokerage or trade source.
معلومات عملية
| Original new-build price | Not publicly reported by any source found. CRN and Ferretti Group did not disclose a delivery price in available coverage. |
|---|---|
| 2021 resale | Listed (as Blue Eyes London) at an asking price of EUR 26,500,000, sold via brokers around January 2021; actual sale price not disclosed. Renamed BEOL after the sale. |
| 2023 relisting | Relisted (as BEOL) at EUR 27,950,000 VAT paid, a cut of EUR 1,550,000 from the prior asking price, following a significant interior refit. |
| Current market estimate | Aggregator sites estimate current value at approximately USD 30 million and annual running costs at approximately USD 3 million. This comes from a single aggregator source pairing, not a primary brokerage figure, so it should be treated as a rough estimate rather than a verified market price. |
| Current sale/charter status | Not confirmed as currently listed for sale or available for charter in the most recent sources reviewed; no primary brokerage listing newer than the 2023 relisting was found. |
| Ownership history | Reported (originally built for a Spanish-linked owner, later associated with Spanish entrepreneur Juan Miguel Villar Mir from 2011, then reportedly sold to Russian businessman Vladislav Filev, founder of S7 Airlines, around 2020-2021) across aggregator sources; not confirmed by a primary named broker statement, so treat as reported rather than verified. |
| What is not publicly known | Original delivery price, confirmed generator make and output, thruster and watermaker specification, exact current owner and flag, and current classification society status all remain unconfirmed in public sources. |
