Cantiere Delle Marche Explorer Yachts RJ Class 102
About this yacht
The Cantiere Delle Marche Explorer Yachts RJ Class 102 represents a defining moment in modern yacht design—where ocean-crossing capability meets contemporary luxury. Built from 2015 onwards by the renowned Italian shipyard, this 31-meter steel-hulled explorer yacht challenges conventional thinking about what an expedition vessel can be. Francesco Paszkowski's design achieves something rare: a trawler that looks at home both crossing the Atlantic and moored in Porto Cervo. The extensive use of glass throughout transforms what could have been a utilitarian powerboat into a light-filled cruiser with visual connections to the sea from nearly every vantage point. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the sky-lounge, recessed glass bulwarks along the walkways, and even glass inserts in cockpit seating—each detail reinforces the relationship between interior comfort and the marine environment. The steel construction and 12mm keel plate speak to serious offshore intentions. With a draft of just 2.45 meters and CE Category A certification, this motor yacht can explore remote anchorages while maintaining the structural integrity required for open ocean passages. Twin independent rudders, redundant ship systems, and backup pumps provide the reliability expected from Cantiere Delle Marche's expedition pedigree, now wrapped in a decidedly modern aesthetic. What sets the RJ 102 apart is how it allocates space. A second salon on the upper deck rivals the main deck salon in size, yet the layout still accommodates a vast aft cockpit, forward lounge, captain's cabin with dedicated office, and the shipyard's characteristically well-equipped wheelhouse. Five guest cabins provide accommodation for up to 16 guests across generous interiors that prioritize natural light and sea views. The sun deck crane system exemplifies thoughtful engineering—concealed beneath a hydraulic hatch, it can deploy tenders up to six meters and two tons, freeing the traditional garage space for alternative uses like a beach club or dive center. This hardtop-equipped explorer offers 200 square meters of exterior living space across three decks, all finished in 15mm Burmese teak, with custom pools, ventilated sunbed storage, and purpose-designed furniture. Capable of 13.6 knots, the RJ 102 balances performance with the 31-meter platform's true strength: the ability to carry you anywhere with the amenities typically reserved for much larger vessels. It's an explorer yacht that refuses to compromise, delivering both the range for distant horizons and the refinement for elegant entertaining.
