A romantic full-custom 50 metre

Latona was launched at Ancona in February 2018 and delivered to her owner that same May. She was a fully custom project built on the yard's proven 50 metre platform. CRN handled all of her naval architecture while Zuccon shaped every visible surface aboard. She showed the yard could still tailor a smaller flagship right down to the last detail. She stands out as one of the most personal yachts CRN has built in recent years.

The commission stood out for its clear and genuinely unusual design conviction. Where many yachts of the day chased neutral modernity, Latona instead embraced a specific historical style. CRN supported that singular vision with careful engineering and meticulous outfitting throughout. She is one of the more romantic yachts the yard has produced in recent years. Her whole character rests confidently on a single, coherent and unwavering design idea.

Zuccon inside and out

Studio Zuccon International Project drew both the exterior and the interior, giving Latona complete and rare visual unity. The exterior is elegant and restrained, carrying the studio's assured and practised sense of line. At just under 50 metres she looks poised and beautifully well proportioned at anchor. Her calm styling suits both a busy harbour and a quiet, open anchorage. The restrained exterior gives little hint of the richness waiting just inside.

The exterior carefully frames comfortable outdoor spaces across each of her intimate decks. A well-planned sun deck and sheltered side lounges give guests plenty of room to relax through the day. The lines stay calm and classic from the bow right through to the stern. She carries herself with a quiet and thoroughly assured confidence at anchor in any bay. Her balanced, elegant proportions have a timeless quality that firmly resists passing fashion.

A 50 metre CRN whose interior revives the Stile Liberty spirit of early Italian Art Nouveau.

The Stile Liberty revival

The interior is Latona's defining feature, faithfully reviving the Stile Liberty of the early twentieth century. That distinctly Italian take on Art Nouveau brings flowing forms and fine inlaid detail to the rooms. The overall effect is warm, ornate and deeply personal to the owner throughout. Very few modern yachts commit to a historical style with such genuine conviction. Stepping aboard truly feels like entering a beautifully preserved period interior.

The considered layout accommodates up to ten guests in five well-appointed and richly finished suites. Every space rewards a closer look, with real hand craftsmanship in the detailing throughout. The overall mood is intimate and quietly romantic across the whole of the yacht. A dedicated crew of nine supports the experience with genuine and attentive care. She was made specifically for owners who treasure fine, hand-worked detail in every room.

Refined engineering at 50 metres

Latona sits on CRN's proven 50 metre steel platform, carefully engineered for a comfortable ride. Her well-chosen machinery supports easy Mediterranean cruising as well as longer passages further afield. The considered naval architecture keeps her stable and notably quiet at a steady cruising speed. She balances real refinement with dependable, everyday cruising capability. She moves with the settled assurance of a considerably larger yacht.

For an owner that means a smaller flagship that still cruises with real, reassuring assurance. Systems were sensibly laid out for straightforward operation and simple upkeep in port. The layout keeps tenders and water toys well clear of the guest decks at all times. She is a genuinely rewarding yacht both to own and to run. Her manageable size keeps her practical while her singular interior keeps her special.

Who she suits

Latona suits an owner with a deep and genuine love of design history and fine craft. Her Stile Liberty interior sets her clearly apart from every neutral, modern rival on the market. Up to ten guests travel in intimate, richly detailed and welcoming comfort. She is ideal for those who want a yacht with a strong and confident artistic identity. She rewards an owner who happily sees a yacht as a true work of decorative art.

She also appeals to buyers who value a complete, unbroken Zuccon vision from bow to stern. Her single-studio authorship gives her a rare and genuine coherence. At just under 50 metres she is both manageable and deeply personal. That singular identity keeps her compelling to serious, design-minded buyers. For a buyer she offers a genuine one-off with a character that no production yacht can match.

Who it is for: An owner who loves design history and wants an intimate, richly detailed full-custom 50 metre with a singular interior.
