A modern full-custom 52 metre

Ciao was delivered by CRN in 2022 as a fully custom and thoroughly modern 52 metre. She measures 499 GT on a nine metre beam spread across four generous decks. The build brought together two accomplished design studios under CRN's own engineering. She stands as one of the yard's most sociable and welcoming recent deliveries. Her scale was carefully judged to give big-yacht living in an easy-to-run package.

The commission focused on light, connection to the sea and easy entertaining. CRN tailored the volumes to keep her under the 500 GT mark while maximising living space. That balance suits owners who want capability without stepping into a larger class. Ciao shows how much the yard can fit into a 52 metre hull. She feels far more generous than her length on paper suggests.

Omega's chiselled profile

Omega Architects gave Ciao a chiselled, contemporary exterior with clean and confident surfaces throughout. Full-height glass runs right through the yacht, softening the line between inside and out. A subtle tint keeps guests private in port while carefully preserving the long views. The profile is modern and assured from absolutely any angle in the anchorage. She looks current and genuinely sharp even beside far larger yachts.

Massari Design shaped the exterior social spaces alongside the interior, so the outdoor areas all feel considered. Two large lounges, a sunbathing area and a spa pool spread across the sun deck and the main deck. The generous layout gives guests a real choice of sun or shade right through the day. Every single deck was clearly drawn for gathering and easy entertaining. Life aboard flows naturally from one open, sociable space to the next.

Massari's warm, light interior

Massari Design filled the interior with warm, natural colour and genuinely abundant daylight. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the sea into every one of the main spaces aboard. The main saloon centres on an L-shaped sofa and armchair set forward of a dining table for ten. The overall mood is simple, elegant and genuinely welcoming to guests. The rooms feel calm and bright from early morning right through to the evening.

The considered layout carries up to ten guests, with a main-deck owner's suite and four VIP cabins on the lower deck. The full-height glazing keeps the interior connected to the outside world at every turn. Warm materials were chosen throughout for their comfort and genuine ease of living. It is a yacht built squarely for relaxed, convivial and sociable time aboard. The whole interior gently encourages guests to gather and to stay a while.

Wellbeing and beach-club living

The lower deck holds a beach club with a spacious, multifunctional leisure zone. It opens aft to an open-air living area with a television and bar, alongside a shower and hammam in the wellness space. That arrangement puts water-level living and wellbeing right at the heart of the yacht. Few 52 metre yachts of her generation offer this much genuine space and comfort at sea level. Guests can swim, steam and lounge in comfort without ever needing to climb a deck.

Ciao rides on a steel hull carefully engineered by CRN for a comfortable and efficient cruise. Her sub-500 gross tonne design keeps day-to-day operation refreshingly straightforward for her crew. Systems were sensibly laid out for easy running and simple maintenance in port. The clever layout keeps tenders and water toys well clear of the guest areas. She was built from the outset to be enjoyed with a real minimum of fuss.

Who she suits

Ciao suits an owner who wants a bright, sociable yacht with genuinely strong wellbeing spaces. Her generous beach club and hammam together make water-level living a real daily pleasure. Up to ten guests travel in warm, light-filled and easy comfort across her decks. She is ideal for both close family cruising and more relaxed entertaining. She rewards an owner who loves time spent right down close to the water.

She also appeals to buyers who value recent full-custom quality at a genuinely practical size. The Omega exterior and the Massari interior together give her clear and current pedigree. At 499 GT she stays notably flexible to operate and to run. Her recent build and modern character keep her near the front of her class. For a buyer she offers a nearly new full-custom yacht ready to cruise at once.

Who it is for: An owner who wants a bright, sociable, wellbeing-focused 52 metre that stays under 500 GT.
