CRN's 62m Salt opens to charter at EUR 600,000 a week
What is Salt, and why is she new to the charter market?
Salt is the 62-metre CRN motor yacht CRN delivered in 2020 as Voice, and after six years in private hands and a 2026 refit she has reached the open charter market for the first time.
Salt is the 61.98m (203ft) motor yacht that CRN delivered from its Ancona yard in 2020 as hull 137, first named Voice and later renamed. Nuvolari Lenard drew both her exterior and her interior, the latter under Valentina Zannier, and she measures 1,288 GT. She sleeps 12 guests across six cabins, a full-beam master on the owner's deck, a VIP with a private balcony, two doubles and two triples, with a crew of 17. After a refit completed in 2026 she has gone on the charter market for the first time, listed by West Nautical for the South of France, Corsica, Sardinia and Italy from July to September, then the Caribbean and Bahamas over winter.
A boat like this rarely reaches the open charter fleet. Salt spent her first six years fully private, so her hull, machinery and interior carry none of the wear a season-in, season-out charter yacht accumulates. For a broker that low-mileage, one-owner story is the pitch: a fresh 2020 build, reset by a 2026 refit, offered for hire before she has ever taken a paying guest.
How much does it cost to charter Salt?
West Nautical lists Salt from EUR 600,000 a week in low season and EUR 650,000 in high season, plus expenses that typically add a quarter or more to the base rate.
West Nautical lists Salt from EUR 600,000 a week in low season, rising to EUR 650,000 in high season, plus expenses. On a charter of this size those expenses, drawn from an advance provisioning allowance, cover fuel, food, berthing and crew gratuity, and typically add a quarter or more to the base rate. The fee buys a large pool, a beach club, a gym and a full toybox, from SeaBob F5s and an F9 Porsche Edition to twin Sea-Doos, e-foils, paddleboards and a custom tender.
That price sits at a premium to her class. Charter-market data puts the average 60 to 70 metre yacht near EUR 444,000 a week, so Salt is asking well above the band, a gap the refit and the Nuvolari Lenard name are meant to justify. For the owner the maths is simpler: even a handful of booked weeks offsets a running bill that on a 62m routinely reaches into the millions each year.
Why would an owner put a six-year-private yacht into charter now?
Strong 2026 Mediterranean demand, with rates running 10 to 25 percent above last season, makes chartering a low-mileage yacht like Salt an easier way to offset her running costs than keeping her fully private.
The timing favours the move. Cost guides and brokers put 2026 Mediterranean charter rates roughly 10 to 25 percent above last season, and the eastern Med, led by Greece, Croatia and Turkiye, is drawing record interest, with many yachts reporting final availability already gone. Salt joins a wave of boats returning refit-fresh to the summer fleet.
For owners, chartering a formerly private yacht is a hedge. It turns a depreciating asset with six- and seven-figure annual costs into one that helps pay its own way, and a strong demand year makes the decision easier to take. For the charterer it widens the thin supply near the top of the 60 metre band with a yacht that carries no prior charter history, a combination that tends to book early and hold its rate.
What is good, and what to watch
Strong points
- A genuinely low-mileage yacht for the charter fleetSix years fully private since her 2020 delivery, then a 2026 refit before her first-ever paying charter guest (West Nautical; BOAT International) - a hull, machinery and interior with none of the wear a season-in, season-out charter yacht accumulates.
- A well-known design pedigreeNuvolari Lenard drew both exterior and interior, the latter with Valentina Zannier, a name that carries real weight in the charter brochure and the brokerage conversation alike.
- A large, current toyboxSeaBob F5s and an F9 Porsche Edition, twin Sea-Doos, e-foils and paddleboards give charter guests a genuinely well-equipped week, not a dated inventory.
What to watch
- Priced well above her size classEUR 600,000-650,000 a week is a real premium over the roughly EUR 444,000 average for 60-70 metre charter yachts; the refit and the Nuvolari Lenard name are what the asking rate is betting on.
- No charter track record yetSalt has never taken a paying guest before this season, so there are no independent guest reviews or repeat-charter history to weigh against the asking rate.
- Running costs are not publishedNothing in the sources checked gives a figure for Salt's own annual running costs, only the general observation that a 62-metre yacht's bills routinely reach into the millions a year.

Questions this story answers
What happened?
Six years after CRN delivered her as Voice, the 62m Salt has finished a 2026 refit and reached the charter market for the first time, listed from EUR 600,000 a week. For an owner who kept her private since 2020, the move turns a costly asset into one that helps pay for itself. It also hands charterers a rare, low-mileage Nuvolari Lenard yacht that has never before taken a paying guest.
What is good about it?
A genuinely low-mileage yacht for the charter fleet. Six years fully private since her 2020 delivery, then a 2026 refit before her first-ever paying charter guest (West Nautical; BOAT International) - a hull, machinery and interior with none of the wear a season-in, season-out charter yacht accumulates.
