Cantiere Delle Marche Explorer Yachts RJ Class 130
About this yacht
The Cantiere Delle Marche Explorer Yachts RJ Class 130 represents a fundamental shift in expedition yacht design—where Francesco Paszkowski's refined aesthetic meets genuine ocean-crossing capability. This 40.50-meter motor yacht accommodates up to 20 guests and challenges the assumption that explorer vessels must choose between sophisticated styling and serious range. Paszkowski's design philosophy is evident throughout. The silhouette maintains a graceful severity that feels contemporary yet enduring, while the layout prioritizes both expedition logistics and genuine livability. Built to Cantiere delle Marche's exacting standards—12mm steel keel plate, independent rudders, redundant systems, comprehensive navigation equipment—the RJ Class 130 delivers go-anywhere capability beneath its elegant exterior. The yacht's relationship with glass sets it apart. Floor-to-ceiling windows line the upper deck sky-lounge walls. Main salon glazing positions perfectly for seated guests to maintain sea views. Even the port and starboard walkways feature recessed glass bulwarks, and the aft cockpit settee incorporates a glass recess that preserves sightlines for those seated opposite. Natural light floods interior spaces while maintaining structural integrity. A second salon on the upper deck rivals the main deck salon in scale—an uncommon luxury on a cruiser of this size. This doesn't compromise the expansive aft cockpit, forward lounge, captain's cabin with dedicated office, or the well-appointed wheelhouse. The upper deck crane system, concealed beneath a hydraulic hatch, handles tenders exceeding six meters and two tons, freeing the garage for alternative uses: beach club, dive center, or water toy storage. Across three decks, 200 square meters of exterior space blend shaded and open-air areas. Burmese teak decking throughout, custom pools, ventilated storage beneath sunbeds, and thoughtfully integrated furnishings create distinct zones for different occasions. The crane's aft sun deck position keeps mechanical elements away from entertainment areas. This explorer yacht proves that technical excellence and refined design aren't mutually exclusive. Steel and aluminum construction, ocean-crossing range, comprehensive backup systems—all delivered within a vessel that prioritizes guest experience and visual coherence. The RJ Class 130 expands what's possible in contemporary expedition yachting.
