CdM: Another 45m explorer yacht inspired by Cassetta’s award-winning concept sold

CdM announces second 45m explorer sale, reinforcing Cassetta design’s versatility and bespoke evolution.

Last week Cantiere delle Marche announced the sale of a 45m explorer yacht inspired by the design Giorgio M. Cassetta developed in conjunction with CdM, today we are glad to share the sale of another 45-metre explorer yacht sharing the same design concept, marking another significant milestone in the shipyard’s ongoing commercial success.

This new contract confirms the enduring appeal and versatility of Cassetta’s design language and CdM’s ability to transform a successful platform into multiple highly customised, owner-focused vessels. Importantly, this latest project further validates the concept’s strength while demonstrating the flexibility required to create a truly bespoke explorer. This new yacht has been conceived as a distinct and individual vessel,incorporating a series of important design, layout and technical features that clearly differentiate her from her predecessors.

Developed in close collaboration between the owner, Giorgio M. Cassetta and the CdM technical team, the yacht introduces tailored solutions that reflect a specific cruising vision and lifestyle. These include reconfigured deck spaces, customised interior arrangements, and refined technical specifications. The result is not a repeat, but an evolution of a concept expressing a unique personality.

Designer Giorgio M. Cassetta commented: “Seeing a second yacht commissioned from the same design inspiration is extremely rewarding. It confirms the validity of the original concept, but what makes this project exciting is how differently it has developed. Each owner brings new ideas and requirements, and this yacht has been carefully shaped around those.”

Vasco Buonpensiere, shareholder and CEO of CdM, stated: “The sale of a second yacht inspired by such an interesting concept is a clear demonstration that our strategy works. When a design is strong and the engineering platform is solid, owners recognise the value. At the same time, each yacht we build must reflect the personality and ambitions of her owner. This project perfectly represents our philosophy: proven concepts, executed with complete customisation. Achieving a second sale from the same design inspiration is a powerful endorsement of both Giorgio Cassetta’s vision and CdM’s capability to turn that vision into exceptional explorer yachts.”
