Atlante

A fully custom 55 metre

Atlante was a completely custom project, launched at Ancona in May 2015 and delivered that same August. She carries hull number 134, placing her firmly among the yard's mid-2010s deliveries. CRN built her to a strong design brief that pushed hard for a sportier, more assertive look. She was warmly received on her debut and featured among the best yachts of her year. Her arrival clearly showed the yard stretching its house styling in a bolder new direction.

The build showed the yard skilfully pairing its own engineering with high-fashion interior talent. CRN handled all of the naval architecture and construction while outside studios shaped the styling. That confident mix gave Atlante both real substance and a clear sense of design ambition. She marked a bold and confident step for the yard in the competitive 55 metre class. The close collaboration produced a yacht that feels tailored from the waterline right up to the sun deck.

Nuvolari Lenard's assertive lines

Nuvolari Lenard gave Atlante an aggressive but well-balanced exterior that reads as pure sporting intent. Strong bow lines and a taut, muscular superstructure give her a genuine sporting stance on the water. The studio kept the proportions carefully in check so the real drama never tips into excess. She looks fast and purposeful from absolutely every angle in the anchorage. The confident design won her a place among the standout yachts of her year.

The exterior frames a full run of outdoor spaces designed for sun and shade in equal measure. Wide side decks and a well-used sun deck give guests plenty of room to relax and gather. Large glazed areas pull generous daylight deep into the interior throughout the day. Critics repeatedly singled out her fine balance of energy and genuine poise. She looks quick and eager even while lying completely still at anchor.

An assertive 55 metre CRN dressed by Gilles and Boissier, hailed among the best of its year.

Gilles and Boissier interiors

The interior came from the Paris studio Gilles and Boissier, working with CRN's Interior and Design department. Their work brought a refined, fashion-led sensibility to every one of the rooms. Materials and detailing were chosen with a couturier's eye for texture and tone. The result feels genuinely current and deeply personal to the owner. Few yachts of her size carry such a distinct interior signature.

The considered layout supports comfortable cruising for a full guest party across the whole yacht. The main social spaces flow between inside and out with real, effortless ease. The owner's private accommodation enjoys good seclusion and generous natural light. The interior gives Atlante a distinctive and thoroughly tailored character throughout. Every room feels carefully considered, which is exactly what a couture studio brings to a project.

Sporty capability at 55 metres

Atlante sits on a steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, carefully engineered by CRN for a lively yet comfortable ride. Her well-matched machinery supports easy cruising across the Mediterranean and further afield. The considered naval architecture keeps her stable while honouring the original sporty brief. She balances real performance with the refinement expected at this level. She feels genuinely engaged underway without ever becoming tiring for her guests.

For an owner that means a yacht that feels genuinely alive at sea and calm at anchor. Systems were sensibly laid out for reliable running through long summer seasons. Tender and toy stowage keeps the guest decks open and completely free of clutter. She is straightforward to operate and genuinely enjoyable to use day to day. Her practical size makes her flexible for a very wide range of itineraries.

Who she suits

Atlante suits an owner who wants real design edge packed into a manageable 55 metre yacht. Her assertive exterior lines and couture interior together make a strong personal statement. She carries a full guest party in comfortable, thoroughly tailored surroundings. She is ideal for owners who follow design closely and genuinely care about it. She rewards an owner who wants their yacht to look and feel truly bespoke from every angle.

She also appeals to buyers who value award-level recognition and genuinely clear authorship. The Nuvolari Lenard exterior and the Gilles and Boissier interior together give her real pedigree. She sits squarely in a practical and sought-after size class. Her confident styling has held up remarkably well since 2015. For a buyer she offers a fashion-led flagship in a size that stays genuinely easy to run.

What is reported and what is not confirmed

Atlante is privately owned and has never been chartered or offered for sale, so much of the usual public record for a yacht her size simply does not exist. Italian and yacht-industry press widely report the owner as Remo Ruffini, chairman of the Moncler fashion group, and describe him visiting the Ancona yard monthly during the build, but neither CRN nor the owner has officially confirmed this. Gross tonnage is reported inconsistently too, ranging from about 950 GT to just over 1,024 GT depending on the source, with no clear majority figure, so this page does not assert one. An estimated USD 40 million value and roughly USD 4 million a year in running costs both trace back to a single aggregator source picked up by other outlets, so they are estimates, not confirmed figures.

The design itself has drawn both praise and named criticism. Atlante won Best Power Design 2016 in the 40 to 65 metre category at the International Superyacht Society Awards and was a finalist at the 2016 ShowBoats Design Awards and World Superyacht Awards, and Yachts Croatia credited her enclosed, convertible tender garage with freeing up roughly 5,600 square feet of usable guest space on a 179 foot hull. The same review was equally direct about the trade-offs: it called the extensive dark smoked oak in the interior misplaced, arguing a lighter palette would suit a yacht better, and flagged that her recessed mooring stations require extra crew coordination to berth cleanly. A yacht this strongly authored also trades broad resale appeal for a clear identity, which is the honest cost of the same styling that makes her stand out.
