The Luxurious RJ102 Explorer Yacht Mon Coeur Graces the Coastline: A Novel Offering by Cantiere delle Marche

Consider this - a yacht that melds the rugged capability of an explorer yacht with the refined elegance of Italian craftsmanship. Introduce this paradox to the renowned shipyard - Cantiere delle Marche (CdM), and the result is the majestic 31-metre RJ102 explorer yacht, Mon Coeur. As the RJ Class explorer line’s smallest addition, Mon Coeur is not lightweight on features.

Designed in collaboration with Italian designer Francesco Paszkowski, the yacht exemplifies striking lines that resonate with the RJ identity, conveying bold, purposeful profiles. Paszkowski elegantly intertwined a sinuous stern, subtly flared bow, and recessed windows that embody the yacht’s distinctive avant-garde look. Mon Coeur neatly packages the same commanding presence and assured ocean-readiness typically ascribed to larger yachts.

‘Understated and elegant yet richly detailed,’ Mon Coeur’s overall design concept points directly at the fulfilment of the owners’ visions, designed to serve as their world exploration base camp aboard. Cassetta honours the yacht’s objective by extensively customising the layout to cater to a limited number of guests, thereby enriching the intimate sharing of sea conquest experiences.

The new RJ102 is powered by twin Caterpillar C18 Acert IMO TIER III engines, promising a range of 3,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, with key dimensions including a 7.3-metre beam and a full load displacement of 250t.

CdM’s co-founder and CEO, Vasco Buonpensiere, underscored Mon Coeur’s bespoke design, reflecting the owner’s aspirations and entrepreneurial spirit. Mon Coeur, inaugurated as the RJ family’s most compact design, signifies the successful actualisation of mariner’s dreams into reality.

Mon Coeur’s owners spoke at the launch, extolling their extraordinary journey of conceptualising and realising the yacht with the CdM team. Mon Coeur stands at the crossroads of a successful partnership and exciting seafaring ventures, delivering the wanted quality and capability.
