Sea-lovers will have an opportunity to see the new yacht at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 on 9-14 September, where the CNB 62 will be available for test drives 

The launch of the CNB 62 is considered a bold statement of the future of elegant ocean living. The shipyard attaches a lot of importance to her arrival, as she is not just a new model, but the first significant release, asserting its new identity as part of the Solaris Group, where the CNB brand came from Beneteau in 2021, moving its construction facilities from Bordeaux (France) to Aquileia (Italy).

“The CNB 62 represents a perfect symbiosis of our French DNA benefitting from the exceptional expertise of Italian craftmanship,” said Vincent Arnaud, CNB Brand Director. “The CNB 62 is the perfect continuation of the very essence of CNB. This is a yacht that can cross oceans in comfort, entertain friends in Portofino, or drop anchor in remote Polynesian bays – all while embodying the quiet confidence and cosmopolitan style that CNB owners have always valued”.

The composite hull with a vertical bow and a low superstructure has a length of 18.47 m and a beam of 5.30 m. With a standard steel keel her draft is 2.95 m, but there is also an option of a weldox steel keel with a lead bulb and a draft of 2.45 m for shallow waters. The sail plan includes the mainsail of 102 sq.m, furling genoa of 94 sq.m, staysail of 44 sq.m and asymmetrical spinnaker of 320 sq.m. 

As standard, the CNB 62 is powered by Nanni engine of 80 hp, or Volvo D4 of 175 hp as an option.

As for the layouts, Philippe Briand, who was in charge of the exterior, has also thought of the owners preferring to handle the boat on their own, so she is suitable for single-handed handling, too, as all lines are accessible from the helmsman’s position. 

The guest area of the cockpit is asymmetric and the carbon Targa arch installed above the cockpit enhances the guests’ safety and serves as a reliable and stylish support for a tent.

The free part of the aft deck is large enough for sunbeds, while the fold-out transom functions as a swim platform, followed by the garage for a 2.85-metre Williams tender.

The interior designed by Jean-Marc Piaton offers two layout options: in addition to three guest cabins there can be a crew cabin with a separate entrance from the forepeak.

There is a raised saloon with a dining table, a lounge and a navigator’s place amidships, a galley closer to the bow, which is located half a metre lower, so the kitchen equipment is hidden from the eye. 

The master suite is at the bow, while two guest suites are aft. Contemporary ergonomic design, natural finishing materials (brushed oak, matte leather, rustic fabrics) along with the calm colour palette create a peaceful and cosy atmosphere on board.
