Watch: Take a tour of 74m CRN superyacht Cloud 9

Italian builder  CRN  has posted a video taking a closer look inside the 74 metre custom superyacht  Cloud 9 . The clip looks back at the inception of the yacht, from the first design to the finished article. It features close-up shots of interior areas alongside aerial views of the decks, balconies and superyacht swimming pool.

It comes after the yacht was delivered to her Australian owner last year. Built from a steel hull and aluminium superstructure to Lloyd's Registry standards and MCA compliant, Cloud 9 features exterior styling by Zuccon International Project .

She is hull number 131 for the yard and the second largest yacht in its fleet, behind the 80 metre Chopi Chopi .

Speaking to Boat International  at the launch ceremony last year, the owner said: "She’s beautiful. For me it is a very proud day, and for my family and my mother. It takes a lot of energy, passion and commitment to build something so magnificent.”

Giovanni Zuccon, founder of Zuccon International Project, agreed, describing Cloud 9 as "the most beautiful vessel I’ve ever designed".

The Ancona-based yard worked with  Winch Design  to create her palatial interiors which are believe to total in excess of 1,000 square metres for a total accommodation of 16 guests (12 when chartering) and 22 crewmembers.

The British studio was also appointed to create all of the external living spaces on board Cloud 9 , including the private owner's deck and the superyacht beach club , complete with extendable bathing platform.

Burgess Yachts was appointed as the owner's representative and Ed Beckett, Naval Architect with Burgess Technical Services added that the owner' set a high benchmark for quality "not only in terms of immediate appearance to her owners and guests, but also from the perspective of seakeeping and comfort, the arrangement of engineering systems, the quality of the paintwork and attention to detail throughout whether visible or invisible”.

Power comes from a pair of 2,682hp Caterpillar 3516C engines for a top speed of 16.5 knots and a maximum cruising range of 6,000 nautical miles at 12 knots thanks to a total fuel capacity of 250,000 litres.

CRN PRESENTS 74-METRE SUPERYACHT “CLOUD 9”

To be on cloud nine is a typical English idiom used to express a state of supreme elation and happiness. And “ Cloud 9 ” is the name chosen by the owner of the new beautiful 74-metre CRN Yachts’ superyacht , probably to express his own feeling of happiness.

Cloud 9 is, first of all, characterized by a streamlined profile and elegantly refined guest areas which allow her to stand out among all the other superyachts of the same category.

The yacht features an excellent balance between interior and exterior spaces, with impressive volume and a high degree of comfort.

More specifically, the qualities of the outside spaces find their highest expression in the private owner’s deck situated forward of the master suite and the beach club with extended platform at sea level. These exceptional open-air areas were all conceived to offer maximum scope for both al fresco enjoyment and entertainment, as specified by the owner.

Cloud 9 can accommodates up to 16 guests across 8 cabins: a master suite, a VIP cabin and 6 double cabins. In addition, accommodation is provided for 26 crew and staff members .

The 5 decks are furnished with elegant colour schemes and an extensive use of oak wood in different guises, juxtaposed with mother-of-pearl elements.

The main deck houses a swimming pool lying athwartships on the aft deck . Indoors, the main saloon is the major proof of the boat’s elegance, enhanced by precious materials and refined furniture. Both flooring and walls are cladded with bleached oak wood.

The main deck also includes a spacious spa area, equipped with a massage table, en-suite bathroom and hair salon. Breath-taking views of the sea can be enjoyed from the fold-down balcony.

The lower deck includes one of the embarkation points. Guests are immediately welcomed by a foyer while an elevator connects the entrance with all the other Cloud 9′ levels.

Forward, there are the galley, the crew areas, the engine room and two garages which can comfortably accommodate two tenders and many water toys.

The upper deck hosts a wonderful open space filled with natural light. Both the saloon and the dining area are decorated with a mural depicting a peaceful sky scene which partially seems to reproduce a fresco of the beautiful Scrovegni Chapel.

The private owner’s deck is the culmination of family relaxation. Just beyond the entrance, an amazing media room with a sofa and an a large TV offers a comfortable space where to enjoy a film or a TV show at night. The distinctive feature of this environment is the mixed white wool and sink carpet stretching all over the floor: an additional touch of elegance that makes the owner’s deck an exclusive truly attractive space.

The master suite is positioned in the bow section and decorated with dark resin back-lit feature lights . Of special mention is the bas-relief decoration on the wall made by a Veneto-based craftsman.

Finally, the Sun Deck is an area where guests can relax while reclining on the loungers or bathing in the jacuzzi. There’s even a water slide where the bravest guests can shoot down from a height of about 13 metres above sea level.

The Cloud 9 is powered by two Caterpillar 3516C-Chd 2000 kW 1600 rpm engines , which deliver a top speed of 16.5 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots.

The yacht will be chartering in the Caribbean next winter with weekly rates from $875,000 . The official presentation is scheduled to take place at Monaco Yacht Show (September 27th-30th), one among the most glamorous yachting events of the year. In the light of all her qualities, there is no doubt that Cloud 9 will be a superstar.

The 243-foot superyacht Cloud 9 by CRN has an elegant interior that blends the saloon with the exterior cockpit area so that owners and guest can move seamlessly inside and out of the yacht. The Andrew Winch interior is also elegant and informal. Winch used Douglas fir and lime oak as the primary woods, but combined those with 50 other materials, including leather, metals, and stone, to customize the saloon and the yacht’s eight staterooms. The artwork is modern, with a classic style. Fenella Elms’s dreamy cloudscape in the main saloon is a perfect visual symbol of the yacht. What is just as impressive is the way the builders created a high-tech yacht without compromising the beauty of the interior. Almost all the technology is hidden behind bulkheads. Its powerful Cisco network, similar to a modern office building, is paired with the most advanced entertainment system on any yacht. “Multi-ducer” speakers, 4K video projectors, 120-inch movie screens, and the latest equipment from Sony, Yamaha, and Panasonic (all controlled by iPad) allow the owners and guests to access thousands of movies and songs. Surfing by satellite is exceptional, even thousands of miles at sea.

Video: Brand New Superyacht ‘Cloud 9’ Available For Charter

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Oliver Pearson   23 January 2017

Following her colourful launch at the CRN shipyard this weekend, it has been confirmed that the 74m/243ft motor yacht ‘Cloud 9’ will be available for charter.

One of the largest motor yachts ever built by the Italian shipyard, Cloud 9 was treated to an exceptional party to mark her highly anticipated launch.

Indeed, from colorful bursts of smoke marking her entrance to the water, to the Star Wars theme providing some suitably dramatic backing music, there was a truly warm atmosphere on hand to celebrate the occasion.

Set for delivery in April, the yacht received plenty of applause from the crowds as she showcased her remarkable exterior designed by Zuccon International.

Adding to the excitement was the news that she will be open for private yacht charter vacations , with a total of 6 cabins providing accommodation for a total of 12 guests.

Hugely voluminous, luxury yacht Cloud 9 boasts over 10,000 square feet of communal and guest spaces over five decks. Whilst no photographs have currently been published of her interior, Andrew Winch has been confirmed as the designer.

Giving over space to the exterior, there is also a massive beach club with an extended swim platform to provide guests the opportunity to easily access the water from the vessel.

As the video reveals, there is a phenomenal amount of room on offer on the bow, just forward of the private terrace attached the master stateroom.

No doubt one of the crowning features of the yacht, a 12 meter pool has been installed on the aft main deck to allow those on board to enjoy an appropriately stylish soak.

The sundeck is just as impressive, with a sizable Jacuzzi surrounded by ample furnishings to allow for a nicely relaxed experience.

As we revealed in an earlier article, ‘Cloud 9’ will also feature a dedicated limousine tender to allow guests to get between the yacht and mainland in style and comfort, making her a perfect choice for a private charter.

Truly pioneering, superyacht Cloud 9 promises to be a favourite once she joins the charter market.

In order to find out more regarding M/Y ‘Cloud 9’, and to be kept informed of her availability, please get in touch with your preferred charter broker .

Cloud 9: Let’s Take A Closer Look

In the ninth month of the year, let’s take a close look at the Super Yacht ‘Cloud 9’.

The phrase “cloud nine” evokes a feeling of pure joy and happiness, and it’s the perfect name for a superyacht designed for family relaxation. Cloud Nine is a remarkable achievement, especially considering its origins. 

When the original client for the 74-meter hull withdrew, CRN found itself in a difficult situation. But a new owner emerged, with his own design and build teams, and together they transformed CRN’s second largest yacht into a stylish and comfortable cruiser.

The hunt for a new superyacht

Captain Colin Boyle was sailing his yacht Cloud 9 in Singapore when he received a phone call from his owner. It was January 2014, and the owner had a proposition: Fly to Rome at 1 a.m. to look at a potential new superyacht.

The owner was looking to build a larger yacht, and Burgess, the broker who had represented him on the previous build, knew of an opportunity. CRN project 131 was a 74-meter yacht already well underway, but the original client had withdrawn.

The hull and superstructure were complete, and the major machinery was installed. The yacht had similar lines to the award-winning Azteca and the yard’s flagship, Chopi Chopi.

Bernardo Zuccon of Zuccon International Project saw it as an opportunity to “rewrite the story.” The new owner had three months to replan and redraw the yacht, and the team worked tirelessly to make his vision a reality.

The result is a superyacht that is both timeless and approachable. The exterior styling is mature and sophisticated, focusing on human comfort. The stern platform features a massive fold-down door that creates a sprawling beach club, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and entertaining guests.

Cloud 9 Plus: A superyacht beach house with a twist

One of the highlights of Cloud 9 is its massive recreation area on the main aft deck. The centrepiece of this area is a 10,000-liter spa pool with a glass bottom, flanked by stairs on either side. The owners have nicknamed their new yacht “Cloud 9 Plus,” and it’s easy to see why.

Winch Design has used sand tones, vibrant blues, and a treasure trove of decorative shells, corals, and agates to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Brushed Douglas fir and limed oak add to the beach house feel, while the generous dimensions and comfortable spaces make it the perfect place to entertain guests or simply relax and enjoy the luxury of your surroundings.

Here is a summary of the main features of this fantastic superyacht:

• 74-meter length
• 2,218 gross tonnes
• Six cabins (including two staff cabins finished as guest cabins)
• Two cinemas
• Hair salon/massage room
• Superyacht gym
• Espresso bar
• Outdoor dining area
• Large circular wooden tables that can be expanded or removed
• Interior and exterior spaces designed to merge indoor and outdoor living
• More focus was put on the exterior spaces of the boat, including the cockpit on the main deck and the bow area
• Heavy layered doors to the cabins with soundproofing from specialist Cergol Engineering
• Owners’ deck with magnificent suite, wraparound windows, private terrace, and helideck (converted to grand entertaining platform)
• Fire- and soundproof passageway through the engine room’s top level to connect the beach club, port tender garage, and guest arrival lobby

A family-friendly vibe was a priority

Cloud 9’s owners wanted a superyacht with a casual, family-friendly vibe, so they eschewed a traditional dining area in favour of a spacious, open-plan main saloon.

The heart of the saloon is a vast, 1.5-meter-deep sofa perfect for watching movies, lounging by the pool, or simply relaxing with family and friends. The overall atmosphere is sunny and inviting, with a 3D porcelain panel “cloud” adding movement and depth to the central bulkhead.

In addition to its spacious main saloon, Cloud 9 also features two cinemas, a hair salon/massage room, and a superyacht gym. The owner’s deck is a sprawling 400 square meters, with its own outdoor cinema and plenty of space to relax and entertain guests.

Set Sail for Adventure at the Top Boat Shows of 2024

The guest cabins are located on the main deck, and each has a unique nameplate engraved with the name of a Star Wars character, which can be removed if the guests are not fans of the films.

The owner’s deck is a highlight of the yacht, with a magnificent suite with wraparound windows looking onto a private terrace and helicopter deck below. The owners decided to turn the helipad into a grand entertaining platform, which has become a favourite spot for dining al fresco and karaoke.

In summary, Cloud 9 is a superyacht that seamlessly combines luxury, comfort, and functionality, which genuinely reflects the wishes of her owners.

Russia's Nuclear Deterrent Command Center Imperiled by Winter Freeze—Report

A Russian nuclear deterrent command center in Moscow has been imperiled by power outages that have impacted more than one-quarter of the region's cities amid freezing temperatures, a Russian Telegram channel has reported.

The VChK-OGPU outlet, which purports to have inside information from Russian security forces, reported that the 820th Main Center for Missile Attack Warnings—part of the Russian Space Forces, a branch of the country's Aerospace Forces—near Solnechnogorsk in Moscow is without power.

It serves as the space forces early warning network against potential ballistic missile attacks.

The development comes as Russians are reported to be suffering from power outages in their homes in the Moscow region caused by technical issues at plants amid subzero temperatures.

On January 4, a heating main burst at the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant in the town of Podolsk, which is about 30 miles south of central Moscow. Since then, tens of thousands of Russians are reported to have no heating in their homes.

Affected areas include the cities of Khimki, Balashikha, Lobnya, Lyubertsy, Podolsk, Chekhov and Naro-Fominsk, a map published by a Russian Telegram channel and shared on other social media sites shows.

Other Russian media outlets reported that in Moscow, residents of Balashikha, Elektrostal, Solnechnogorsk, Dmitrov, Domodedovo, Troitsk, Taldom, Orekhovo-Zuyevo, Krasnogorsk, Pushkino, Ramenskoye, Voskresensk, Losino-Petrovsky and Selyatino are also without power.

The Telegram channel said that at the 820th Main Center for Missile Attack Warnings, "the crew...is on duty around the clock."

"It is here that the decision on a retaliatory nuclear strike is executed," the channel said.

Newsweek could not independently verify the report and has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry by email for comment.

Power outages have also been reported in Russia's second-largest city, St. Petersburg, in the country's western Voronezh region, in the southwest city of Volgograd, and in Rostov, which borders Ukraine, a country that Russia has been at war with since February 24, 2022.

On Sunday, two shopping malls in St. Petersburg were forced to close because of problems with light and heating, reported local news outlet 78.ru. Hundreds of other homes in the city have had no electricity, water or heating for days amid temperatures of -25 C (-13 F).

Russian authorities have also been forced to compensate passengers of a train that ran from Samara to St. Petersburg (a 20-hour journey) without heating during -30 C (-22 F) temperatures. Videos circulating on social media showed carriage windows frozen over. A passenger also said the toilet didn't work during the trip because of frozen pipes.
