History

Here in a few short paragraphs, we trace 35-year-long history of the CNB shipyard and take a look at its future.

Alongside the different models designed and built over time, we want to underscore that the years gone by are filled with the stories of men and women who put their passion and their skills at the disposal of the owners to build each and every CNB. All of us working to build the new models to the best of our abilities draw inspiration from our history.
