This deal was made possible through our collaboration with Arcon Yachts. This is the third sale with the Arcon team, who have actually also cooperated with the shipyard in the design of the Acciaio series for their clientele (a 123 and one 105 Acciaio have been already delivered to Arcon’s clients). The recently sold explorer yacht is a 130-footer one-off, four decks project featuring exterior design by Hydro Tec and interiors by Giorgio M. Cassetta.

The one-off 130 features an imposing and flared bow to intercept high seas with the sheer line that smoothly flows down creating a sophisticated yachting style. This flowing feature is replicated in the fashion plates that effortlessly glide to the main, upper and sun deck from above framing signature strip windows. The yacht will often sail at high latitudes for both exploration and fishing expeditions. To enjoy fully long and challenging fishing trips, the Owner asked to have the yacht designed with a fishing cockpit, a stern platform enclosed within high bulwark, and all fishing equipment will be stored in a large lazarette. The layout has been designed to meet the Owner way of living on board.

At 39.42m, with a beam of 8m and a displacement of around 388t, this explorer yacht has an extremely efficient hull with bulbous bow to keep fuel consumption to the lowest levels while granting an extraordinary range. Two Caterpillar C18 delivering 533kW each will allow for a top speed of 13.5 knots and a range, at 10 knots, of above 5000nm.

The client is very knowledgeable and his visit to the Cantiere delle Marche facilities proved to be fundamental for the choice of the shipyard to be entrusted to build his explorer yacht. He found the craftmanship off all the workers to the highest standard and was indeed impressed by the quality of materials, manufacturing and processes throughout all the steps of the building process.
