Following the Cannes Yachting Festival, Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) has announced that it has sold two superyachts, a 42.58-metre superyacht EXP 42 and the fourth unit of the 35-metre superyacht RJ 115. The Italian shipbuilder displayed two superyachts during the festival, the 39.37-metre Aurelia and the 40.51-metre RJ.
Of the newly signed contracts, sales and marketing director at CdM, Vasco Buonpensiere, remarked, “CdM’s commercial results speak for themselves: today we share with you that an EXP 42 has been sold alongside one RJ 115 and three more contracts on the final straights, all for 499 GT vessels. The EXP 42 has been sold to a repeat client from Central America, while the RJ 115 to a very mature client who has always had top level production boats before deciding to finally build a steel and aluminum custom vessel. The trust shown by both these owners is a matter of great pride for us!”
The EXP 42 has been designed by Francesco Paszkowski and features naval architecture from her builder. The superyacht will have a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Her exterior lines are characterised by full-height vertical windows. She accommodates up-to 10 guests across five staterooms, including four main deck guest suites.
The fourth unit of the RJ 115, also designed by Francesco Paszkowski inside and out, features naval architecture from Hydro Tec. With a range of 5,000 nautical miles and a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the superyacht has true explorer capabilities. The 300 GT yacht sports a three deck layout and accommodates up-to 10 guests across five staterooms. She is operated by a crew of seven.
Ennio Cecchini, the CEO of CdM, commented, “We have worked hard and we remained faithful to our mission to build and deliver the best possible explorer yachts. Today we are regarded as the best explorer vessels builder in the world and the reactions of owners, captains, surveyors and brokers when visiting Aurelia and RJ in Cannes confirms the enthusiasm which surrounds our brand. This is definitely much more than we expected when we started up a little more than ten years ago...”
