Pioneering the Sea: Unveiling the Grandeur of the 'One-off' 43m CDM Explorer Yacht, Babbo

Published: 01 Sep 2025
Spacious, magnificent, and built for the open sea, the 43m CDM explorer yacht Babbo represents a feat of remarkable craftsmanship and innovative design.

Italian shipyard Cantiere delle Marche (CDM) continues to impress the marine world with their latest release – the 43m explorer yacht, Babbo. Sporting a custom interior design by seasoned designer Francesco Paszkowski and naval architecture by Hydro Tec, the Babbo is a reflection of unparalleled mastery. With a staggering 499GT of internal volume and an 8.7-metre beam, she easily stands out in the burgeoning fleet of explorer yachts.

After its delivery in September 2024, the Babbo voyaged several thousand miles, earning praise from its owners who have been deeply gratified with the project outcome. The owners, seasoned sailors, admire the vessel’s reliable performance, thoughtful design, and the precious moments it enables their family to share on the open sea.

One unique feature of the Babbo is its ‘indoor/outdoor ethos,’ achieved via abundant use of glass across the entire yacht. The interiors’ design lends itself to an airy and bright atmosphere. Babbo offers four double suites for guests on the main deck and another two twin cabins on the lower deck which also accommodates crew cabins, a sizable galley alongside a crew mess, and laundry.

For those idle moments at sea, Babbo boasts a sundeck complete with dining facilities, a bar, sunbeds, and a panoramic swimming pool. The yacht also offers a range of water toys and a dedicated tender storage, adding to the leisurely experience.

The lower deck doubles as a large lazarette, accommodating diving equipment, bicycles, and other water toys; the sauna and Hammam open directly onto this versatile space.

This alluring masterpiece by CDM is just one of the 14 yachts the shipyard currently has on order or under construction, continuing to cement its place in the luxurious world of superyachts.
