Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) has announced the development of a new series of explorer yachts in collaboration with designer Giorgio M. Cassetta. The Italian boatbuilder says the series, named RAW, is aimed at providing yachts with a focus on functionality, durability and environmental consciousness.

The first model in the RAW series is a three-decker, 102-foot yacht with expansive outdoor spaces and functional interiors designed to be functional in all weather conditions. The high bow of the vessel houses tenders and water skis, leaving the stern area open for guest use.

The main deck has an aft cockpit that can be enclosed with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, meaning it can function as a veranda in all seasons. An upper deck overhang provides shading for this area. The yacht also includes a large beach area astern and a swim platform designed to offer panoramic views, with collapsible bulwarks for easy sea access.

The layout incorporates space-saving designs, such as externally placing ventilation trunks behind fashion plates, maximising interior space.

The yacht can carry up to two 5-metre tenders in the bow area, while the design integrates technical spaces and storage areas from the initial design phase to maximise efficiency. Despite being a 30-metre yacht, this model can impressively accommodate both a drone and a small helicopter landing.

CdM’s co-founder and CEO, Vasco Buonpensiere, says: “At CdM, we constantly break conventional thinking and embrace new challenges. With our extensive expertise in the explorer yachts market, we are eager to explore innovative designs to provide discerning individuals with exceptional explorer yachts.

“Our aim is not to dazzle with superficial, captivating features (we never look for the wow effect) but to deliver projects that are true to their purpose – to ensure autonomous, comfortable and safe voyages over vast distances.”

Designer Giorgio M. Cassetta adds: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of the creation of an exciting new series for Cantiere delle Marche. Our collaboration on Project T, a fully custom explorer yacht set to launch in just a few months, has been an incredibly stimulating and positive experience. The entire process has been a journey filled with creativity, innovation and shared passion that gave us the opportunity to fine-tune our method.”

The boatbuilder says the new RAW series is positioned to offer functional, reliable, and environmentally considerate yachts with design elements that accommodate owners’ needs in different conditions and settings.
