A smaller CRN with a big idea
J'Ade, known in the yard as the CRN 125, launched in 2012 as the seventh 60 metre boat the Ancona yard had built in this size band. At an overall length near 58 metres she is modest by CRN's flagship standards, yet she earned wide attention for a single clever feature. The idea at her core is a garage that floods to let a tender float in from the sea. That one move reshaped how the aft of the boat could be used.
The concept let the yard turn what is usually a closed storage space into a social area at the waterline. It showed that innovation at CRN was not tied only to length and volume. J'Ade has since become a reference point whenever builders discuss float in tender systems. Owners and designers still cite her when they weigh how to store and launch a large tender. For a boat of her size she has left an outsized mark on the yard's story.
Zuccon styling with a working stern
The exterior is another Zuccon International Project design, shaped in concert with CRN's own technical office and its Centro Stile. The profile is clean and fairly restrained, giving little hint from the side of the mechanism hidden in the stern. Four decks and a sub deck sit on a beam of around 10.2 metres, a set of proportions that keeps her nimble in port. The styling had to leave room for a large shell door on the port side without breaking the line of the hull.
That shell door is the visible clue to the garage system behind it. When closed it reads as part of the hull, and when open it turns the stern into an inlet for the tender and for swimmers. The aft beach area flows out from this space, with side stairs that double as swimming ladders once the stern door drops. It is a piece of design that earns its keep the moment the boat reaches an anchorage.
The CRN that floods its own garage to bring a Riva right into the beach club.
A loft feel above an aquarium
Inside, the work was a collaboration between Studio Zuccon, CRN and the owners themselves. The upper saloon uses floor to ceiling windows and sloping side walls to create the feel of a loft set under a mansard roof. The owner's wife chose Loro Piana fabrics and commissioned custom furniture from Fendi's Club House line, giving the rooms a personal stamp. The palette stays light so the sea remains the main event through the glass.
The main saloon holds a wet bar set above a built in aquarium, with a white Yamaha grand piano nearby. Wellness spaces include a gym and a green mosaic steam room, the latter placed up on the sun deck. The owner's suite comes with an office, a sleeping area facing aft and an enclosed balcony protected by a storm shutter. These touches give a 58 metre boat a sense of space that belies her length.
The floodable dock explained
The heart of J'Ade is a transverse float in dock reached through the port shell door. Crew open the door and flood the dock, and as the water rises the tender lifts off its chocks and is held steady by fixed fender poles. Two wave doors then close off the open sea so guests can board and step off in calm water. A high capacity pump can drain around 18,400 litres in under three minutes, so the boat can get under way again quickly.
The dock was sized around an 8 metre Riva Iseo, a tender that suits the style of the boat. Underwater lighting adds to the effect when the space is flooded at night. Power for the yacht comes from twin MTU engines in the 12V 4000 series, good for a top speed near 16 knots and a cruise around 14 knots. Range runs to more than 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, which covers a full Mediterranean season with ease.
Who J'Ade suits
J'Ade suits an owner who prizes a close connection to the water over sheer size. The floodable dock and the beach club make her ideal for anchorages where swimming and tender use fill the day. Her ten guest layout across a master and four cabins fits a family or a small group of friends. Owners who cruise busy coastlines will value how easily she moves in and out of port.
On the market she appeals to buyers who want a manageable CRN with a genuine talking point. Her size keeps running costs below those of the yard's larger boats while still offering full custom quality. The float in garage remains rare enough to set her apart from other yachts of her length. For the right owner she offers CRN engineering and Zuccon design in a compact and characterful package. That combination has kept her well known long after her launch.
Engines and systems
| Main engines | Twin MTU diesels, about 1,500kW / 2,010hp each, giving 16 knots maximum and 14 knots cruise. Sources disagree on the exact model: launch-era coverage cites the 12V4000 M63 at 1,800rpm, while later brokerage listings cite the M61 variant at 1,550rpm. Power output and speeds are consistent across all sources; the model and rpm figure is a genuine discrepancy |
|---|---|
| Stabilizers | Naiad zero-speed stabilizers, for comfort both underway and at anchor |
| Bow thruster | Not specified in any source reviewed, including CRN's own model page |
| Fuel tankage | 115,000 litres per most brokerage listings; one source instead reports 107,000 litres, a minor unreconciled discrepancy |
| Fresh water tankage | 20,000 litre tank capacity with an 18,000 litre a day watermaker, consistent across sources |
| Range | 3,000 nautical miles at 14 knots per most sources; other coverage additionally reports range extending past 4,000 nautical miles at a slower 12 knot cruise, a complementary data point on the same speed and range curve rather than a contradiction |
What owners and crew report
Original commission
The project is reported to have originated with Ferretti Group founder and chairman Norberto Ferretti, who wanted the 58 metre for himself before she was sold to another owner ahead of completion.
Yachts InternationalOwner identity
No owner, past or present, has ever been named in press or brokerage material; ownership is consistently described only as private, and specialist yacht-ownership trackers list the beneficial owner as undisclosed.
SuperYachtFanBuilder's remarks on the design brief
Accepting the World Yacht Trophy 2013 for Most Innovative Yacht over 50 metres for the floodable garage, CRN chairman and chief executive Lamberto Tacoli said the prize was to be shared with the owner, who believed in this ambitious project, with the designers of Studio Zuccon International Project and, above all, with all the CRN employees.

What is good, and what to watch
Strong points
- Genuinely pioneering engineeringThe floodable transverse tender garage and beach club was the first fitted to a CRN megayacht and one of the first on any yacht of this size; it won the 2013 World Yacht Trophy for Most Innovative Yacht over 50 metres from an international jury.
- Efficient volume for her lengthAt 58.2 metres and 939 GT she carries a full-beam glass-fronted upper saloon, a touch-and-go helipad, a guest lift through every deck and a sun-deck wellness centre with gym, steam room and spa pool, amenities more typical of larger yachts.
- Reasonable crew for her feature setCrewed by 13 to 14 despite the extra hydraulic and pumping systems the garage-pool feature needs, per repeated brokerage listings.
- Durable resale demandChanged hands at least three times (2016, around 2020, 2026) and has held its asking-price band close to EUR 29 to 29.5 million across the two most recent listings.
What to watch
- Ownership has never been transparentAcross more than a decade and multiple sales, no publication has ever named an owner, unusual even by superyacht privacy norms, and it means the widely repeated built-for-Ferretti-himself origin story is itself second-hand.
- Inconsistent technical specifications across sourcesLaunch-era press cites twin MTU 12V4000 M63 engines at 1,800rpm, while later brokerage listings cite the M61 variant at 1,550rpm; draught is given as both 3.0m and 3.6m; fuel tankage is given as both 115,000 and 107,000 litres. No single authoritative spec sheet reconciles these.
- The signature feature has real operational limitsFilling the garage to swimming-pool depth takes roughly 10 to 15 minutes and draining it about 3 minutes, an operational nuance most coverage glosses over in favour of the headline novelty.
- No independent sea trial on recordEvery performance figure traces back to yard or brokerage-supplied specification sheets rather than a third-party verified sea trial, and charter availability itself is inconsistent across listings over the years.
Practical detail
| Reported build cost | Not disclosed in any source reviewed |
|---|---|
| Reported annual running cost | Not publicly reported by any outlet found |
| Charter status | Listed at indicative rates of EUR 250,000 a week in high season and EUR 235,000 in low season under the J'Ade name, though that listing itself carried a disclaimer that she was not necessarily available for charter. Later, as Odyssey, brokerage listings stated explicitly she was not for charter. Following the 2026 sale she was reported to be joining her new owner's charter fleet, so charter availability appears to be a recent change rather than a longstanding option |
| Refit history | A substantial refit around 2020 included a rename from J'Ade to Odyssey, a hull repaint from copper to navy and a reconfiguration to six cabins for up to 12 to 13 guests. A further upgrade was completed in New Zealand in 2025 ahead of the 2026 sale |
| Not publicly known | Beneficial owner identity at any point in the yacht's history; exact build cost; annual running costs; bow thruster make and specification; the actual, as opposed to asking, sale price in any of her at least three transactions |
