CRN, the luxury yachting Ferretti Group brand, has recently unveiled its latest mega yacht, Azteca. At 72 metres, Azteca, is the largest yacht to be produced by CRN and the longest coming out of Italy this year; it has also been ranked in the international list of top 100 yachts in the world. Azteca combines a “made in italy" style with cutting-edge design and technology. The sophisticated slender shape of the hull and the racy external lines, accentuated by the pronounced stern characterize and distinguish the Azteca from other mega yachts of its size - breaking the expectation that big boats can't have a sporty soul. The main deck hosts the ship owner's suite as well as two suites which serve as accommodation for some of the 12 guests. The owner's suite was designed to link directly to the sea through a door which can be folded at 90 degrees from within the cabin to act as a terrace overlooking the ocean. The two bathrooms, one reserved for each half of the ship owning couple, are entirely covered with marble and embellished with inserts of brown Tiger's eye for the male bathroom and a slab of mother-of-pearl for the female room. A cinema room equipped with a 65-inch screen, a large wardrobe and a massage room complete the owner's suite. On the lower deck, there are two VIP cabins for guests and two standard cabins for the staff at their service. This deck also holds 12 lodgings reserved for the crew. The wide spaces of the lower deck are also used for storage: refrigerating cells, the laundry area and two big garages holding 10 metre long Riva Shuttles with a maximum speed of 45 knots, a seven metre long service tender and four jet skis. |

The upper deck incorporates a different layout to make the most of wide spaces. It includes the 'Special VIP' cabin which has a wide view and complete discretion, and the captain's cabin which is at the stem, in a cabin adjacent to the radio room and the steerage, equipped with the most modern navigation systems. A large panoramic lift with crystal walls and a decorated marble floor links the three upper decks. There are also two kitchens featuring state-of-the-art instruments and machinery, an expression of the ship owner's great love for food. There is also a refrigerated cellar to store wine, cold meats and cheeses. The sun deck of the Azteca is is entirely dedicated to outdoor life with large sofas, a bar area, jacuzzi and several sun beds as well as enough space for a 2,500 kg helicopter to land at the stem. There is a fitness area with Techno-gym equipment allowing guests to carry out fitness sessions while enjoying the panoramic view. Guests can socialise around a solid bronze dining table on the upper deck and a wengè (tropical timber) table with a Carrara marble top in the cockpit on the main deck. Bang & Olufsen hi-fi systems and televisions surround the entertaining areas. |
