ARBEMA — 72m CRN Ancona for Charter in French Riviera

ARBEMA is a 72-metre CRN Ancona masterpiece built in 2010 that exemplifies sophisticated Italian yacht design and meticulous craftsmanship. Originally constructed for trans-oceanic exploration by a discerning private owner, this steel-hulled superyacht completed a comprehensive refit in 2023 executed by Rhodes Young, ensuring she meets the highest operational and design standards. The investment encompassed a full exterior paint job, technical systems upgrades, extensive interior refresh, and new glass railings that lend a refined, contemporary aesthetic to her decks.

Designed by the renowned Nuvolari & Lenard studio, ARBEMA's striking exterior commands immediate presence on the water. Her interiors were crafted with both entertaining and relaxation as central pillars, featuring calming neutral décor in cream and beige with warm wood tones and plush furnishings. The main deck salon is a voluminous entertaining space featuring a piano and generous conversational lounge, ideal for welcome drinks and pre-dinner gatherings before formal dining in the separate formal dining room. The upper-deck sky lounge flows seamlessly to outdoor entertaining areas and includes a full bar, cocktail and games tables, comfortable sofas, and large-screen entertainment. A dedicated cinema room with state-of-the-art surround sound provides an additional venue for relaxation and family movie nights.

Guest accommodation comprises eight fully refurbished cabins sleeping twelve guests plus two supernumeraries. The full-beam master suite on the main deck features a king bed, fold-down balcony, private TV room, and massage room. A VIP cabin occupies the upper deck, with two additional double cabins on the main deck and four cabins on the lower deck—two doubles and two twins—each appointed with luxury finishes and modern amenities.

ARBEMA's entertainment capabilities extend beyond the interior. Her celebrated sundeck—among the largest in her class at 1,082 square feet—accommodates both a pool and Jacuzzi, with lounging areas and covered midships dining. The upgraded beach club provides an exquisite sun-soaked retreat, complemented by a comprehensive toy collection including jet skis, water skis, a water slide, floating pool, and a dedicated 48-foot ANVERA Chase tender for exploration and water-based recreation.

Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, ARBEMA cruises comfortably at 15 knots with a top speed of 17 knots, enabling both Mediterranean exploration and winter operations in the Caribbean and Central America. A professional crew of 23 ensures all aspects of your ARBEMA charter are executed with five-star service. For an exceptional charter experience combining Italian design elegance, impeccable recent investment, and versatile cruising capability across Atlantic and Mediterranean waters, ARBEMA offers an unparalleled base for family and friends.
