The M/Y RIO superyacht, the latest fully custom steel and aluminium work of art by CRN, has been successfully delivered to her owner. The new 62-metre masterpiece has now left the Ancona Superyacht Yard, as she prepares to show off her sleek profile on her debut Mediterranean cruise.

M/Y RIO stands out for the distribution and quality of the spaces, with large and luminous indoor and outdoor living areas. The yacht reflects the character of the owner, who has a passion for being onboard.

M/Y RIO will be unveiled in her world premiere at the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show, from the 28th of September to the 1st October 2022. RIO promises to be a key highlight of this event, an outstanding example of the Ancona yard’s know-how, craftsmanship, and supreme design and build expertise.

M/Y RIO is now available for charter exclusively with TWW Yachts. She will be cruising in the Mediterranean this summer and from October onwards in the Caribbean.

“What The Italian Sea Group has accomplished in the last few years is truly remarkable – says David Westwood, co-Managing Partner of TWW Yachts – in terms of the amazing facilities they have created, the industrial process and quality standards they established, the multiple brand development and the resulting sales success they encountered. TISG is now one of the global leaders in full-custom superyacht projects. We look forward to contributing our own expertise in superyacht sales, construction and project management to expand TISG’s brands’ penetration in countries where we have a strong presence and extensive network.”

“I am very pleased about this partnership, which has a strategic importance for our Group – Giuseppe Taranto, Vice Chairman & Chief Commercial Officer of The Italian Sea Group commented. “Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey and Azerbaijan have untapped potential in luxury yachting and I am sure that TWW Yachts’ competence, especially in New-Build Sales, along with our consolidated reputation in design, quality and innovation will allow us to penetrate these markets in a widespread manner.”

A strong future

The initial focus areas of this strategic partnership includes yacht sales and new construction within the Middle East countries. To present the brands and their quality services to potential and existing yacht owners.

This collaboration with TISG illustrates our shared values and quality of service, technological innovation and customer focussed approach. The complementary nature of the two brands presents substantial opportunity for synergies, which will result in increased sales and innovation.

TWW Yachts have a history of successful collaborations and are committed to long-term partnership as it strengthens its leadership position in the industry.
