CRN’s naval architects worked with Ferretti Group’s Advanced Yacht Technology department and Venice-based Nuvolari Lenard design to build a boat that is modern, elegant, and perfect for family life at sea.

The crew members also have a crew mess and gym on the tank deck. There is a sky lounge, a separate cinema room, a spa, and a hair salon.
She also has an expansive sundeck full of amenities for entertaining in the indoor/outdoor space.
Francisco Hernando, the original owner, was intimately involved in the vessel’s design to create a guest experience close to the water.
The beach club is impressively sized and opens with a massive transom door that creates an indoor/outdoor area with a bar and salon.
The tender garage is filled with water toys like jet skis and a low-profile tender. The yacht features extensive pantry options, making it an excellent vessel for entertaining.
The entertainment features of the AZTECA yacht were one of the many reasons that Pliego bought the $80 Million Superyacht.
