Test / CNB 66 monohull rate, a very competitive price

The NBC 66 is a luxury offshore unit at a price that it does not quite ballast. The integration, from the outset of the design, of options that are potentially orderable by a very disparate and equally demanding clientele, makes the difference.

Affordable standard price for this range

The starting price of the CNB 66 at 1,800,000 euros ex VAT is very affordable for a very richly and methodically finished yacht. The 3.25m dinghy can be out of the garage in less than a minute and all these advantages that make life easy while cruising are priceless. To get the ultimate in performance and comfort, it will be necessary to choose from a catalog of options carefully selected by the shipyard's teams and which compiles 30 years of experience in exceptional sailboats. Our test yacht was priced at 2,150,000 euros before tax and fully equipped.

Very framed finish

The long list of additional equipment allows you to adapt the boat to your sailing program. A two meter higher carbon mast for performance in light air is also a guarantee of comfort, as it will avoid starting the engine. The television, sound, power units and high battery park, everything is available to establish a custom specification for your future sailing. Everything has been planned from the start so that improvisation seems difficult to manage by the shipyard

What about the competition?

One only has to look at the Port Canto pier, the new yacht area of the Cannes Yachting Festival, to see that there is no shortage of yachts in this segment of the luxury deck saloon cruiser. On the performance side, there is of course the Swan 65, Contest 67 CR and Solaris 64 RS. Perhaps a little faster than the CNB in light airs, they all have a galley layout forward of the saloon and the possibility of having an owner's cabin aft on the Swan. In a more conventional and slower register, the Halberg-rassy 64 and the Oyster 675 present an alternative more oriented towards classic comfort. One thing is for sure, all of them are a bit more expensive than the CNB. In this size you can also be tempted by a one-off creation and here again CNB is at your disposal, but the prices are quite different, even in this size.
