À propos AVANT GARDE²
AVANT GARDE 2 is a 42.6m (139.8ft) yacht delivered in 2010 by CRN to exterior and interior designs by Rome-based Zuccon International Project. An extensive refit in 2016 saw the installation of a brand-new contemporary interior by rising design star Laura Pomponi's Ancona studio, which leaves her completely refreshed.
