What makes Cantiere delle Marche explorer yachts unique?

CdM builds every yacht for genuine ocean crossings — a standard that runs from the entry-level Darwin Class through to the RJ155. This is why the shipyard has picked up World Superyacht Awards wins across three different ranges rather than one signature model.

Which Cantiere delle Marche series is best for long-range cruising?

Deep Blue is built to keep going well past a single Transatlantic crossing, making her the natural choice for Owners planning genuinely remote itineraries. Darwin Class and Flexplorer both cruise long distances comfortably too. The difference tends to come down to living space and how contemporary a profile the Owner wants alongside that range.

Can Fraser help me source an off-market Cantiere delle Marche yacht?

Yes. Sourcing both on- and off-market opportunities is standard practice for Fraser Brokers. A Broker with strong shipyard relationships can often surface a CdM explorer before she reaches the open market.

An explorer yacht earns the name somewhere out past the last marina, when the nearest port is days away and the weather has stopped asking permission. Here, in this exhilarating environment, is where Cantiere delle Marche has built its reputation, and for Buyers exploring Cantiere delle Marche yachts for sale, the distinction is worth understanding before choosing which model fits their own horizon.

Founded in Ancona in 2010, Cantiere delle Marche builds long-range explorer yachts in steel and aluminum between 26 and 49 meters, and the philosophy has barely shifted since the first Darwin Class was launched a year later. The Darwin Class remains the foundation, its 86, 102 and 115-foot platforms built on a grade-A steel hull 12mm thick at the base, thicker than standard classification requires.

Flexplorer, introduced in 2022 by Hydro Tec, pushed the range further offshore, pairing a concealed A-frame crane and elevated bow with naval architecture built to optimize fuel efficiency across 132 and 146-foot hulls. The RJ Class, penned by Francesco Paszkowski at 115, 130 and 155 feet, adds floor-to-ceiling glazing and 200 square metres of outdoor guest space to the same explorer engineering. Deep Blue, Horacio Bozzo’s line at 115, 130 and 141 feet, carries that engineering discipline into an uncluttered profile and a beach club built for ranges beyond a Transatlantic crossing.

Most recently, CdM introduced RAW, a new direction from designer Giorgio M. Cassetta positioned between the Darwin and Flexplorer ranges — a sign that the shipyard’s ambitions keep expanding even as its core commitments hold steady.

Why Choose a Cantiere delle Marche Yacht?

The shipyard’s commitment shows up in details such as steel gauged well beyond classification minimums, which buys margin on ocean crossings where a thinner hull would demand caution the Owner shouldn’t have to think about. The same logic runs through vessel CdM builds: redundant systems, generous fuel and water capacity, engine rooms sized for easy maintenance, etc.

In 2026, the RJ155 — at 46.71 meters, the longest yacht CdM has ever built — won her class at BOAT International’s World Superyacht Awards, while the Darwin Class-based HAZE² took a second Neptune trophy the same evening in her own category. RJ’s design work was recognized twice more, with separate BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards for Paszkowski’s exterior and Achille Salvagni’s interior. Three years earlier, Deep Blue’s ACALA had already won her category at the same awards, proof that CdM’s ability to build a genuinely capable explorer yacht holds across ranges and years. A well-maintained Cantiere delle Marche brokerage yacht offers true engineering consistency.
