43m CRN EMOTION 2 Offered at €9.995m as Mediterranean Viewing Opens

CRN EMOTION 2 is presented to Mediterranean buyers

The 42.67-metre CRN motor yacht EMOTION 2 is being shown to prospective buyers on the Côte d’Azur after moving west from Greece, according to an October report on the yacht's brokerage campaign. Worth Avenue Yachts is advertising the 2007-built superyacht at €9,995,000. The vessel combines 453 gross tonnes of internal volume with a documented commercial-charter career and extensive recent maintenance, making operational history as important to the story as the yacht's interior styling.

Location information can change quickly as a yacht cruises. The broker's online listing has carried different location references, so prospective viewers should confirm her precise berth and availability directly with the sales representative before travelling. The new development is her positioning and renewed presentation to buyers, not a claim that she has been sold or newly launched.

A distinctive 43-metre CRN design

EMOTION 2 is one of eight yachts from a particular CRN design family, with exterior styling and accommodation concepts by Zuccon International Project. Her structural approach includes a solid-fibreglass hull, unusually large windows for the series and a fold-down transom that anticipates the waterfront leisure arrangements now common on newer yachts. The exterior proportions remain recognisably Italian, with shaded aft decks and broad glazed saloon areas.

Buyers considering a yacht built in 2007 need to evaluate the model's engineering foundation as carefully as the contemporary appeal of its guest areas. Composite construction requires assessment of moisture ingress, local impact repairs, bonding and access around machinery. A visual inspection cannot establish the quality of hidden components; proper records and professional surveys are essential to understanding the true condition of an older yacht.

Five cabins and an owner's private balcony

The layout accommodates up to eleven guests in five staterooms, supported by a crew of nine. The main-deck owner's accommodation includes a separate study and a fixed balcony, a feature that offered a stronger connection with the sea than many yachts of comparable age. Four lower-deck guest suites benefit from large hullside windows, while the interiors combine pale upholstery and surfaces with warm cherry joinery.

A fixed owner balcony can be pleasant during calm conditions but its drainage, weather protection and privacy deserve careful scrutiny. Large glazing improves daylight but also creates thermal loads, cleaning requirements and potential maintenance issues around frames and seals. As with any brokerage purchase, the buyer should inspect how the cabin arrangements work with daily crew service rather than concentrating exclusively on the décor.

Beach club, wellness and outside living

EMOTION 2's transom opens into a waterside leisure area with a gym and sauna. The bridge deck has covered dining for twelve, while the sun deck includes a Jacuzzi, a wet bar and an outdoor-screen arrangement. She also carries a substantial 9.9-metre Boston Whaler tender and a selection of water toys, such as SeaBobs and personal watercraft, supporting shore transfers and more active guest programmes.

These features carry ongoing costs and inspection obligations. A tender of that size affects lifting, storage and maintenance, while a Jacuzzi requires careful water treatment and proper operational procedures. The condition of hydraulic openings, leisure-equipment batteries, drainage systems and wet-area finishes matters as much as the attractiveness of the spaces when staging photographs are taken.

The importance of recorded maintenance

The brokerage record describes major work on the Caterpillar C32 engines and gearboxes in 2025, alongside servicing of the zero-speed stabilisers. Recent improvements have included repainting parts of the hull and superstructure, changes to guest-area carpets and attention to HVAC systems. The account also cites a RINA-witnessed hull survey in 2025 and a continuing schedule of maintenance through the 2025–26 winter period.

A purchase survey should reconcile invoices, operating hours, class records and work specifications rather than treating a list of completed jobs as conclusive proof of condition. An engine overhaul may apply to specific components rather than amount to an entirely new engine, and the remaining life of a machinery system depends on installation, operating profile and maintenance quality. Independent sampling and oil analysis can supplement the documentation.

Why charter history can add commercial value

Worth Avenue Yachts points to roughly a decade of charter activity, including returning guests, and notes that the yacht has been managed by the same organisation for more than ten years. The captain has reportedly remained with the yacht for about fourteen years. This continuity can help a buyer understand the operational culture and obtain explanations for past refits, unusual equipment choices and existing supplier relationships.

Charter history is not a guarantee of future income. Prospective commercial owners need to examine actual earnings, maintenance expense, charter permissions, insurance, taxation, crew arrangements and the rules applying in their intended operating areas. A commercial flag or previous charter licence may not automatically transfer to a new owner or support identical operations after a change of base.

CRN and the brokerage team

CRN is a longstanding Italian builder based in Ancona and associated with substantial custom motor yachts. Its design history includes collaborations with specialist naval architects and interior studios; the EMOTION 2 model shows an earlier willingness to use spatial solutions that have since become more widespread. Zuccon International Project shaped the vessel's external character and guest environment, while later work has refreshed parts of the yacht without eliminating the original identity.

Worth Avenue Yachts is handling the offering and has published detailed specifications and a record of refits for due diligence. Its role is that of sales representative, not original designer or builder. A purchaser should confirm exactly which inventory, tenders, spare parts and décor items are included, together with the yacht's title, VAT status and any charter obligations at completion.

A specific offer, not a completed transaction

The quoted asking price of €9,995,000 is a marketing figure, not evidence of the eventual sale price. A buyer weighing the yacht against a newer but smaller vessel should consider available space, the established crew accommodation and the cost of maintaining an older technical platform. The relevant comparison is the full price of operating, insuring and upgrading the yacht over several seasons rather than the acquisition amount alone.

EMOTION 2's current exposure in the South of France makes her easier for Mediterranean-based prospective clients to inspect, subject to the actual cruising schedule. The strength of the case rests on a combination of CRN build pedigree, maintained machinery, a practical five-cabin plan and well-documented operations. The next important development would be a confirmed sale, price revision or further technical disclosure, none of which should be presumed from this listing.
