CRN’s latest yacht should come with a caution: Stepping on board superyacht Latona may result in losing all track of time. This stunning superyacht from The Ferretti Group employs all the talents and skills of fine custom shipbuilding and innovative technologies while remaining true to the owner’s preferences and specifications. Making her debut at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show, Latona proved the talk of the town.
The Statistics
Latona’s 50-meter steel hull with aluminum superstructure is a standout at first glance. Pleasantly awash in definitive shade of turquoise, Latona’s exterior reflects changes with the color of the surrounding sea. Exterior lines by Zuccon International assisted by CRN’s naval architecture and engineering departments, find classical inspiration directed by the owner’s preference for Middle European 1920s style. Embracing that fil rouge throughout her interiors, Latona displays tastefully curated Art Deco/Liberty style in pattern, texture, and curves using a variety of precious metals, luxurious materials, and handcrafted detail.
Dovetailing elegance with function, the yacht accommodates 10 guests in 5 cabins served by 9 crew. Carrying four decks plus an underdeck, outdoor spaces are plentiful. Saltwater pool, Turkish bath/hammam, Jacuzzi tub, and hydromassage bathtub, and sundeck water mist system are welcome amenities.
Providing a confident cruising speed of 14 knots, 16 knots maximum, Latona has a range of 3,800 nm at 11 knots, powered by a pair of Cat C32 1081 kW@2300 rpm engines. Two zero speed fin stabilizers smooth the onboard experience.
The Main Deck
Featuring an athwartships swimming pool executed in a delightful turquoise and golden mosaic, guests will find the cockpit both spacious and comfortable, with a soothing light blue and turquoise palette. Allowing a flood of light to cascade gloriously into the tender bay below, the pool serves form as well as function.
Stepping into the lounge, salon, and dining areas, guests will find elegant wood panels adorned with fabric inserts and mirrors, flanked by marble and dark oak furnishings. A round dining table of walnut collects embellished chairs beneath a mirrored, carved ceiling.
Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens on three sides to give guests the opportunity to dine al fresco, encouraging pre and post-gala strolls along the terraces. Behind the dining area, a galley services diners with discretion and efficiency through a hatch concealed by the paneling when not in use. Further forward, a lift and spiral stair lined in silver leaf and backlit wood elegantly and conveniently connect guests to three decks.
