CNB 62 Buyer's Guide
The CNB 62 entered the market as the natural successor to the Bordeaux 60, with the first hull scheduled to be unveiled at the Düsseldorf boat show in January 2025 and the initial three boats sold before launch. She is a 63.9-foot semi-custom cruiser built at the Solaris yard in Aquileia following CNB’s 2021 change of ownership, and a buyer shopping today is looking at a very new design rather than a seasoned used class. What follows is a buyer’s view of layouts, equipment, inspection points, and where these yachts tend to appear.
Layouts on the Used Market
Every CNB 62 is built to a true three-cabin plan: the owner’s suite fills the full width forward of the mast, while two large aft guest cabins sit behind a private corridor, each en-suite, with the port berths on rails to split or join as needed. The saloon and galley are open to each other and flooded with light, and the owner-forward arrangement is a direct carryover from the 78. Because the boat is semi-custom, some interiors will show the builder’s standard light woods and fabrics; others may reflect an owner’s chosen palette or the optional office built into the forward suite.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The most consequential factory and owner choices cluster around power, shelter, and tender handling. A fixed hardtop or Bimini shields the forward helm stations, and the carbon arch that clears the cockpit of the mainsheet is standard. The longitudinal garage under the cockpit holds a nearly 10-foot tender (or a 2.85 m jet tender per one review), and its full-width door becomes a bathing platform. Beyond that, buyers should focus on the energy side — generator and watermaker fit-out — and on sail-handling upgrades such as powered winches and a furling genoa, since all controls already lead to the helms for short-handed use.
What to Inspect
A survey should follow normal new-build practice: confirm the semi-custom interior joinery matches spec, check the garage door seals and hinge operation for the bathing platform, and verify the carbon arch and mainsheet lead are intact. With the first hulls only just delivered, a buyer’s best protection is a thorough composite and systems survey.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
For a shopper, the short checklist is: confirm keel type (standard cast iron, Weldox lead-bulb, or shoal draft); verify the owner-forward suite and aft-corridor privacy layout; test the garage door as a platform; and confirm hardtop or Bimini and the carbon-arch mainsheet configuration. She is a couple-friendly ocean cruiser with a class-leading owner’s forward cabin — buy the layout and build quality, not a discount.
