There are simply not enough four-decker maxi-yachts in this world to make all your friends green with envy. Thankfully that’s what makes it even more precious if you are able to get your hands on one of these.

CRN’s new 43-meter maxi-yacht, the Rubeccan, is sure to be a treasured gem of the seas. Orders have been in place for three of these so far, and recent wave exposure has proved that CRN are not about to close shop – unlike other shipyards.

“Despite the current international financial crisis, we can look to the future with untroubled confidence, thanks to the successful results of the recent past,” said CRN President Lamberto Tacoli.

People have complained that luxury yachts would be seeing a significant downpour of ‘doom and gloom’ – yet somehow, I think it probably helps to have a boat that features its own Technogym workout room, sauna in the lower deck and a stern hatch which transforms into a beach platform when perched over water.
