First look: inside the first 35m CDM RJ115 explorer Stellamar

Cantiere delle Marche (CDM) has offered a look inside its first 35-metre RJ115 explorer yacht Stellamar , following her delivery in April 2023.

Stellamar features the same design team that worked on the RJ130 with an exterior and interior by Francesco Paszkowski in collaboration with the shipyard, and longstanding partner Hydro Tec developing the naval architecture. Her sistership, Pazienza , was launched in November 2023 .

While her aesthetics are well suited to Mediterranean cruising, Stellamar is also kitted out as a world-girdling explorer, with a 5,500 nautical mile range and an "invisible crane" for the launch and recovery of toys and tenders. 

One of the owners – an architect herself – contributed to the interior's aesthetics. Inspired by nature, neutral colour tones have been combined with materials such as natural oak for a "welcoming atmosphere".

Stellamar was designed to emphasise the outdoors with glass bulwarks, large side walkways and an open stern. The main and upper saloons maintain a connection to the surrounding seascape through floor-to-ceiling windows that filter natural light through the interior living spaces.

Accommodation is for up to ten guests, eight within four lower deck cabins (comprised of two VIPs and two twins), while the master cabin occupies the main deck forward. The master cabin's standout feature is its en suite, made complete with sauna and Hammam.

To accessorise the space, together with Paszkowski, the owners chose notable brands, including Arpege Meridienne sofas by Christian Liaigre for the main saloon, a Poliform Saint Germain sofa in the upper saloon, Archibald armchairs by Poltrona Frau and Cassina Hola dining chairs that tuck under a Breccia Aurora marble-topped table.

Stellamar is powered by a pair of Caterpillar C18s and cruises comfortably at 12 knots, while her "purposefully designed hull geometry" and electric stabilisers keep the yacht steady when underway or at anchor.

"Throughout the years, we have showed the market that we are able to build true explorers that have both the elegance and style of a luxury yacht. The solutions we have fielded to make the RJ line meet all these requirements are once again driving CDM’s explorer yachts forward," said Vasco Buonpensiere, CEO of CDM.

Stellamar is now available to charter with West Nautical .

According to BOATPro , CDM has 10 yachts currently under construction. This includes the 30.8-metre Haze II , the successor of the 26.2-metre Haze owned by British entrepreneur Steve Rigby .

Stellamar’s toy box provides a treasure trove of fun, featuring two Flite boards, two Seabobs, nitrox diving equipment, snorkelling equipment, fishing gear, and four paddle boards. She is also well-equipped with gym equipment for long and shorter haul charters, with a Pelaton cycle machine, TechnoGym bench weights 1-10kg, and yoga mats.

Under the hood, Stellamar boasts impressive technical features. A full-displacement explorer vessel with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she is powered by twin Caterpillar C18 Acert engines with a range of approximately 5,500 nautical miles at an economic speed of 9-10 knots. The purposefully designed hull geometry and electric-driven stabilisers guarantee smooth cruising, making Stellamar a trustworthy companion for long-haul journeys.

With a max speed of 13.5 knots and a range that allows exploration of the farthest corners of the globe, this explorer yacht is not just a vessel – it’s an invitation to turn dreams into reality.

The external connection to the sea is emphasized by the glass bulwarks, enlarged side aisles and open stern. The yacht is filled with natural light through the use of panoramic windows in the main and upper saloons.

The new Explorer can accommodate up to ten guests on board. The owner's stateroom with sauna and hammam is on the main deck forward, while four more double staterooms are on the lower deck. The interior of the yacht uses natural oak and neutral colors inspired by nature. The furniture is represented by Arpege Meridienne by Christian Liaigre, Poliform Saint Germain, Archibald by Poltrona Frau and Cassina Hola.

"Over the years, we have shown the market that we can build true research vessels with the elegance and style of a luxury yacht.

The yacht is powered by a pair of Caterpillar C18 engines that provide a cruising speed of 12 knots. To date, Cantiere delle Marche is building twelve yachts, including the flagship RJ155 and three Flexplorer 146 models, the first of which will be delivered before the end of 2023.

RJ 115 STELLAMAR HAS BEEN LAUNCHED

“We work relentlessly on new projects exploring how to improve the quality of the explorer yachts branded CdM both technically and stylistically to offer our growing clientele a wide choice,” says Vasco Buonpensiere, CdM’s co-founder and CEO . “This is the case of our latest launch, the RJ 115 Stellamar with exterior and interior design from the drawing board of Francesco Paszkowski,” Vasco maintains. “We have worked on this project for months with Francesco to define all features to the smallest details. The same happened with our Technical team who, leveraging on their extensive experience on explorer yachts, provided Stellamar with top end equipment.”

Let’s take a closer look at the RJ 115 The project pays respect to the most exquisite yacht design tradition while implementing it with highly sophisticated design solutions. An extensive use of glass in the bulwarks and the open stern enhance the visual continuity with the surrounding environment. Stellamar’s profile is tense yet it encompasses sensuous lines that add an unrivalled elegance to her exterior design. With this project, Francesco Paszkowski shows that medium size dimensions are not the enemy of creativity as they make it more effective. Paszkowski succeeded in providing the 35m yacht with large spaces and luxury amenities while staying true to her explorer yacht’s soul.

This is another peculiarity which sets apart Cantiere delle Marche from the majority of the players in our industry. “Throughout the years, we have showed the market that we are able to build true explorers that have both the elegance and style of a luxury yacht. The solutions we have fielded to make the RJ line meet all these requirements are once again driving CdM’s explorer yachts forward,” says Vasco Buonpensiere . “We can safely say that in the range 250/300GT the steel/aluminium Cantiere delle Marche explorer yachts have no equal in the market and are undoubtedly the best alternative to a fiberglass yacht.”

The RJ115 is an elegant yet robust, reliable, environment friendly, long range explorer vessel with unrivalled technical equipment that allow her Owner, family and friends to enjoy safe journeys to the most remote and secluded areas of the globe. For all technical aspects, CdM has drawn not only on the expertise of its in-house design and engineering department but also that of long-standing partner Hydro Tec entrusted for the naval architecture .

Layout The interior layout was tailored to the Owner family’s specific needs and provides ensuite accommodation for eight guests (+2) in four lower deck cabins, and a master stateroom on the main deck forward. A crew of seven has their quarters on the Lower deck in three cabins while the Captain’s is next to the wheelhouse on the Upper deck.

A cleverly designed layout offers easy circulation and a functional connection between the decks with all exterior stairs located on the port side and large side walkways. Great emphasis has been given to outdoor areas with large lounging/dining areas on all decks. Yet, should you have enough of sun and wind, when you enter the Main or Upper salon you don’t lose contact with the outdoors as vast windows light the rooms while visually connecting them to the sea beyond.

On the Lower deck you realize that natural light and views are not reserved solely to the upper decks as all four guest cabins on the Lower deck, two Vip and two twin cabins, are indeed bright and airy thanks to large windows. On the same deck, the crew quarters sleep 6 members while the Captain’s cabin is located next to a large wheelhouse on the Upper deck.

Interior design & decoration Both owners were very much involved in the project, and she, as an architect herself, gave an important contribution to its development. The yacht’s interior design and decoration are easy on the eye through and through and shapes remain just as soft as the neutral color palette. Textures of both wood and fabrics also play a central role by echoing materials found in nature. The interior decoration of Stellamar, in its entirety, work in harmony creating warm and welcoming environments. An extensive use of bright natural oak for flooring and ceilings and cream leather wall panelling gives the interior a soothing atmosphere throughout the yacht, in both social and private areas. Paszkowski designed all fixed furniture and chose, together with the Owners, most of the loose furniture and accessories by renowned manufacturers such as the Arpège Meridienne sofas by Christian Liaigre for the lounging area in the Main Salon, the Poliform Saint Germain sofa in the Skylounge, armchairs Archibald by Poltrona Frau, Cassina Hola chairs in the dining area whose table boasts a beautiful Breccia Aurora marble top. All bathrooms share the same bright and relaxing mood thanks to matt white statuary marble coupled to natural oak. The shower stall in the Owner’s bath is equipped with infra-red sauna and hammam.

Main technical features The RJ115 is a full-displacement explorer vessel with steel hull and aluminium superstructure. With a total length of 35 metres and a beam of 7.50 metres she has a displacement of 283 tons. Twin heavy-duty Caterpillar C18 Acert 533kW each, complying with US EPA Tier 3 Emission Standards and IMO Tier II Emission Standards and 45 000 litres fuel tanks allow for range of around 5500nm at an economic speed of 9/10 knots. Stability is granted by a purposefully designed hull geometry and enhanced by electric-driven stabilizers.

“Stellamar will represent a game changer for her Owners who are planning to take their time, redesign their working schedule and leave for a tour of the world,” Buonpensiere says. “They know that a comfortable and reliable explorer yacht such as the RJ 115 will take them safely to the farthest corners of the world allowing them to make their dream come true, eventually!”.
