This is us

In a turmoil of thought, ideas, and exciting news we are eager to share with the yachting community, I found myself compelled to pause and reflect. This season is full of milestones for Cantiere delle Marche. New projects, evolving collaborations, and a growing family of visionary Owners. But amid this whirlwind of momentum, I've chosen to dedicate this editorial to two extraordinary yachts that, more than any headline or announcement, embody who we are and where we are headed.
There are moments in a shipyard's journey when the yachts we launch don't just represent progress: they define it. This is the case of Project T and the new RJ flagship which are not simply additions to our fleet, they are the voice of our shipyard speaking clearly and confidently on the international stage. As they make their debuts at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show, they carry with them everything we believe in: boldness without noise, innovation without compromise, and beauty with real meaning. These yachts are more than impressive, they are consequential.
These two vessels could not be more different in their personality, yet they are united by a common soul. They speak the same language of purpose-driven design, born from a shared ambition to reshape what it means to explore the sea, not as a destination, but as a way of living.
Project T, debuting in Cannes, is an ode to freedom. She was conceived through a deep and transparent dialogue with her Owner, a true visionary who saw the explorer yacht not as a rugged compromise, but as a stage for beauty, serenity, and self-expression. Together with Giorgio M. Cassetta, we've crafted a yacht that blurs the boundaries between functionality and emotion, where every space, every line, and every solution is a reflection of intent. She is not about imposing herself on the sea; she is about belonging to it.
Then in Monaco, we unveil RJ, the latest and most ambitious chapter of the RJ series, a yacht that consolidates everything this line stands for. RJ is not a fleeting trend or a style exercise, she is a living, evolving idea. A yacht that combines powerful presence with graceful restraint, practicality with poetic sensibility. In this new flagship, the vision of Francesco Paszkowski, and the lyrical interiors by Achille Salvagni converge in a symphony of form and function. She represents a mature expression of what we mean by modern exploration: not just going further, but going deeper.
At Cantiere delle Marche, we don't build yachts for those who follow routes: they are for those who draw them. Project T and RJ are physical manifestations of this ethos. They are not built to impress. They are built to endure, to express, and above all, to inspire.
