Beyond the horizon
by Vasco Buonpensiere - CdM’s Co-Founder and CEO
We often consider our part of the world as the center of it. The Mediterranean undeniably offers an unmatched array of yachting experiences: from the nearly untouched archipelagos of the Aegean to vibrant seaside destinations filled with trendy amenities, posh restaurants, luxury hotels, and lively nightclubs. Its diversity spans from Corsica's rugged coastline to the picturesque Amalfi Coast, from the glamorous Côte d'Azur to the wind-swept islands of the Sicilian Channel. A place where history and nature intertwine, the Med is a living testament to ancient civilizations, stunning architecture, luxurious destinations and timeless villages, all set against the backdrop of an emerald sea.
But there is more beyond the horizon. A world of extraordinary destinations awaits, places we once considered distant… but distant from what?
It's all about shifting perspective… and at CDM, we know how to redefine the map. So why not look to Australia - one of the farthest places from Europe - as a yachting hub as Mediterranean, Caribbean, Florida, and the broader U.S. became over the years? The fifth continent offers everything a passionate yachtsman could dream of and the explorer yachts built by CDM have all the ocean-going qualities required to safely enjoy the astonishing beauty of the Australian coasts.
This is why, a few years ago, we decided to open new horizons to our company by opening CDM Australia. Was it to be considered a leap of faith then? a bet, if you prefer? In the light of what happened we can say that we looked into the future. Building a reputation and awareness in the Aussie yachting community took time—but we achieved it. Relying on the pivotal support of two professionals such as Paul Miletta and Domenico Giuffrè, CDM Australia are giving us great satisfaction, a consistent number of our explorer yachts already sail the Australian seas and more will join them shortly composing what can to be considered a small fleet.
This is just the beginning. With a growing fleet and an ever-stronger presence in the region, we are more confident than ever in the bright future ahead. The passion, dedication, and expertise that brought us 'beyond the horizon' will continue to drive us forward, ensuring that CDM Australia remains a key player in the yachting world. The journey is far from over, it's only getting more exciting!
