The best view ever of Positano and the incredible engineering genius of its architecture can be enjoyed from aboard a luxury yacht. You can enjoy a refreshing summer lunch under anchor with this magnificent backdrop. After lunch, go ashore and spend the afternoon exploring the myriad of streets and shops of this charming town. Another interesting place is Ravello, famous for its breathtaking views, natural beauty and ancient monuments in the gardens of Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo.

Your Italian charter holiday around Naples  would not be complete without a leisurely cruise to the world famous, jet set island of Capri. Both elegant and charming, Capri is a perfect place to relax, stroll the streets or simply visit one of the cafés and enjoy the “see and be seen” life that defines life on Capri. A taxi ride to Emperor Tiberius’ villa Jovis is also a “must do” while visiting this popular luxury yacht hub. Evening comes, you could enjoy a quiet drink aboard your luxury vessel, or perhaps visit one of the many wonderful restaurants to savour some wonderful dishes followed by an elegant nightclub after dinner.

Another interesting place to visit is the Blue Grotto revealed in August 1826 by the German writer August Kopisch, who described its extraordinary beauty. Since then the Blue Grotto has become the emblem of the island of Capri. This enchanting cavern will amaze you by the blue reflection of the sea that illuminates it from inside.

Your charter itinerary could include a day with a leisurely breakfast aboard, refreshing swim and perhaps a chair lift / gondola ride from Anacapri to the top of the island where you could appreciate the spectacular views across the entire Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. In the afternoon you could visit the beautiful island of Ischia with its steep mountains covered in lush, semi-tropical vegetation and hot mineral springs.

Your evening will certainly be lively by taking a berth directly across from the boutiques and cafes that line the water.

Among the peculiarities of the yacht Lady Trudy are certainly the interiors, which are finely furnished, representing a plunge into the American colonial sphere, with a touch of the romantic “Hampton style”, particularly loved by the ship owner, who has followed in detail all the phases of the designing and the furnishing together with the specifically dedicated CRN team.

Each of the four guest cabins, that are according to the ship owner’s desires, is characterized by a dominant colour that is purposely linked to an American locality of the North Atlantic coast: cabin “Newport” for the VIP cabin at the bow where yellow is the predominant colour, cabin “Cape Cod” on the right towards the stern where green is predominant, the guest cabin “Mystic” on the left towards the stern with twin beds and a foldaway bed, where everything is in red and the after cabin “Nantucket” on the left which is blue. The name itself was embroidered for every cabin on big cushions that decorate the beds.

For this style, materials such as cotton and wrinkled linen characterize the decorations of all the interiors of the yacht. For instance, in the cabins there is a wide use of wrinkled material that gives an immediate feeling of softness.  The headboards in the guest cabins are all covered with a Ralph Lauren decorative fabric with marine patterns and each cabin has a white cotton carpet with vertical strips that reflect the dominant colour of the cabin itself.

A distinctive feature of the Navetta 43 Lady Trudy and the entire CRN fleet is the terrace in the master cabin, furnished like a balcony with a coffee table and armchairs where one can have breakfast, enjoyable even while sailing.

In the study, situated before the owner’s suite, lies a large desk by the wall, made of mahogany with a top covered in brown leather.  The large windows offer greater luminosity to the rooms. On the opposite side of the bulkhead there is a library and a built-in sofa bench, all made of white ash to contrast the rest of the room.  The patterned fabrics of the cushions have the same cream and beige tones of the master cabin.

Another feature of this yacht’s interiors are the Persian sliding bay windows found in the dining room, in the lobby upper deck and in the master cabin creating a warm and intimate atmosphere, creating a pleasant “home” effect.

Through the lobby one can access the large full beam steering area with a separate radio room and a captain’s cabin.

Moreover, Lady Trudy is supported by an innovative, integrated entertainment system. An info and domotics system, called “myOlos”, has been developed through the partnership of the shipyard, Videoworks and Intel, to obtain on board functionality and a more user-friendly technology for the Clients of CRN. Through an iPod, this system manages and controls all the entertainment functions – including audio and video on demand – air-conditioning, on board monitoring, lighting and curtains.

On the lower deck, a garage on the starboard towards the stern with an electro-hydraulic shutter that holds a custom-made 5.80m NAUMATEC yacht tender and an engine room that precedes it, form the technical parts of the boat.

CRN & Riva with Christian Jankowski at Frieze Art Fair London

October 13, 2011

Two luxury yachting brands of the Ferretti Group, CRN Yachts and Riva, will play a central role in an installation by Berlin-based artist Christian Jankowski, at this year’s Frieze Art Fair 2011 which runs from the 13 – 16 October 2011. The Finest Art on Water, curated by Sarah McCrory, will be part of Frieze Projects, a series of special commissions which offer viewpoints that will elicit a shift in the viewer’s perception as they move through the fair.

Christian Jankowski has collaborated with luxury yacht builder CRN, featuring the project of a 68 metre superyacht, whose exteriors and interiors lines are designed by Officina Italiana Design, and will be produced by the shipyard in the contemporary artwork. The Aquariva Cento, a limited edition boat, also designed by Officina Italiana Design, that is available as a tender for CRN superyachts and embodies the modern Riva style and elegance, will be sculpturally displayed as part of the installation, simultaneously challenging an art audience and yacht lovers.

Jankowski aims to engage directly with the idea of sales and exchange and the value of luxury goods. The Finest Art on Water is not only a yacht but also an art work; an exclusive, ready-made art piece that implicates, involves and engages the spectator.

Visitors to the installation will play the part of prospective buyers, as they view the interior and listen to the description of the boat. Jankowski’s work encompasses film, video and performance in which, consciously or subconsciously, viewers become active participants.

“Frieze has become one of the most influential events in the art world and it is exciting that CRN and Riva will have a presence there to engage with people in this unique way. Our yachts combine cutting edge technology with stunning designs, premium materials and the finest craftsmanship. This project with Christian Jankowski allows us to work in an environment which transcends a yacht from an object to a piece of art,” comments Luca Boldrini, CRN Brand Manager.

CRN specializes in the construction of fully customised mega yachts in steel and aluminium from 44 to 85 metres and has recently launched a revolutionary range of custom Dislpoen line of superyachts, combining the aesthetics of open boats with the comfort of displacement vessels.

The Aquariva Cento, designed by Officina Italiana Design, which will be displayed sculpturally at Frieze, is the ultimate in elegance and luxury and was commissioned as a special edition to celebrate the hundredth unit of the original Aquariva. The soft, elegant lines of the 33 foot Aquariva Cento exude tradition, whilst still managing to be highly innovative. The valuable, skilfully carpentered woods of the deck are mahogany with maple inlay and the innovative, electronically-controlled, two speed gearbox brings out all the passion and power of the two 380 horsepower Yanmar engines, resulting in an exceptional performance.

Founded in 1842 in Sarnico, Riva is the oldest shipyard in the world never to have interrupted production and is protected by the Italian Fine Arts Society. The original quality and artisan care have been maintained over the years, to which innovation, elegance, style and design have been added.

The history of CRN is a story full of successes, which have been accumulating right from the beginning. Set up by Sanzio Nicolini in 1963, the shipyard immediately established itself in a market which targeted a very selected clientele. This has been the guiding principle behind CRN right from the outset and has earned it a position among the top world builders of luxury mega yachts in association with important designers who helped establish the brand internationally.

Riva and CRN have a strong history of working together, dating back more than 40 years. Now the two brands have a collaboration to produce a new line of megayachts measuring more than 50 metres.

Frieze Art Fair: 13 – 16 October 2011

Frieze Art Fair takes place every October in Regent’s Park, London. The fair showcases new and established artists to an international audience.

Christian Jankowski
The work of Christian Jankowski is a performance, which engages often unsuspecting collaborators to innocently collude with him, making them ‘co-authors’ of the final result, who often (sometimes inadvertently) participate in the very conceptualisation of the work. The collaborative nature of Jankowski’s practice is paramount, as each participant unwittingly contributes his or her own texture. With Jankowski, there is as much emphasis on the journey as the destination, and the risks and chances inherent in his collaborations ultimately give surprising shape to the final works. The product of a generation that grew up with the ubiquity of film and television, its inherently populist influence is evident throughout Jankowski’s work. Christian Jankowski lives and works in Berlin and is represented by the Lisson Gallery London.
