Exploration defined
by Ennio Cecchini - Co-founder & President
RJ and Project T: Two distinct paths, one shared philosophy at Cantiere delle Marche.
At Cantiere delle Marche, exploration is more than a capability, it is a mindset, a purpose, and a philosophy that shapes everything we do. We do not simply build yachts; we craft authentic explorer vessels that embody the soul of adventure and the unique personality of each Owner. Every yacht that leaves our shipyard is born of a deep commitment to excellence, authenticity, and the pursuit of freedom on the open seas.
From the very first conversation to the final delivery, our role is not simply to carry out a brief; it is to engage in a dialogue of ideas, to guide the process with knowledge, to challenge boundaries with innovation, and to refine an Owner's vision into a yacht that surpasses expectations and reflects their way of living the sea. This guidance is not limited by rigid formulas or standard approaches. Instead, we offer paths that reflect our flexible yet focused methodology.
The first is our semi-custom portfolio, offering a foundation of proven explorer yacht platforms that can be heavily tailored to reflect the Owner's style, mission, and technical preferences. The second is bespoke construction, where we collaborate on one-off projects, starting from a blank page, to bring entirely new concepts to life. In both cases, our purpose remains the same: to deliver vessels of uncompromising reliability, efficiency, and elegance, engineered to roam far and wide in absolute safety and comfort.
"Every new yacht is a new chapter, written together with those who share our spirit of exploration."
Project T and RJ, which we are proud to present today, are perfect illustrations of this duality. Visually, they could not be more different. Project T is a bold expression of modern design and innovation, while RJ evokes classic lines with timeless sophistication. And yet, beneath their stylistic differences lies the core DNA of CdM: robust naval architecture, long-range capability, exceptional autonomy, and the durability to operate far from marinas or support infrastructure. Both yachts are fully capable of extended, uninterrupted exploration, whether navigating polar regions or tropical archipelagos.
What unites them is our unwavering focus on purpose-driven design. Every detail - structural, functional, and aesthetic - has been considered with the Owner's unique lifestyle and intended use in mind. They are not only vessels; they are floating expressions of identity, adventure, and legacy.
This is what defines our shipyard's approach: we do not chase trends or volume, we pursue excellence and meaning in every yacht we build. We take pride in creating explorer yachts that empower Owners to explore freely, responsibly, and confidently, knowing that their vessel has been conceived with integrity, care, and a deep understanding of life at sea.
At CdM, we remain committed to this path, driven by the same passion that has shaped our journey from the very beginning. Every new yacht is a new chapter, and we look forward to writing it together with those who share our spirit of exploration.
