Husumer Shipyard 53.5m 1982/2019 Refit Luxury Motor Yacht for Sale in Flensburg, Germany

The 2023 Cantiere delle Marche RJ115 is a 35-metre long-range expedition yacht designed for owners who want genuine global capability without giving up contemporary luxury and Italian style. Offered for sale in Imperia, Italy, she stands out in the modern explorer market as a true ocean-crossing platform rather than a simple coastal cruiser with expedition branding. Built by Cantiere delle Marche with a displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she combines exceptional structural integrity with carefully managed weight distribution. Naval architecture by Hydro Tec and exterior and interior design by Francesco Paszkowski Design give the yacht both serious offshore credentials and a sophisticated contemporary profile. Measuring 35 metres in length with a 7.5-metre beam, a 2.3-metre draft, 299 GT, and approximately 283 tonnes of displacement, she offers real substance and capability in a manageable modern explorer format.

Explorer Construction & Layout

Built across three full decks with teak-laid exterior surfaces, the yacht has been arranged for practical circulation, safe movement in offshore conditions, and highly usable outdoor living space. Her displacement steel hull supports superior load-carrying ability for fuel, tenders, provisions, and expedition equipment, while the aluminium superstructure keeps top weight under control and supports stable cruising behaviour. Completed in 2023 to modern safety and build standards and registered under the Cayman Islands flag, she offers the benefit of recent construction, current systems, and strong builder reputation in the expedition sector.

Performance, Range & Engineering

Twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT diesel engines, each producing 715 horsepower at 2,100 rpm, provide a combined output of 1,430 horsepower through twin screw propellers. Rather than focusing on speed alone, the engineering package has been precisely matched to the displacement hull for smooth torque delivery, mechanical simplicity, and long-term efficiency. She cruises at 12 knots, reaches approximately 13.5 knots at maximum speed, and delivers an impressive 5,500-nautical-mile range at 9 knots on 45,000 litres of fuel. Freshwater storage totals 6,000 litres, allowing substantial autonomy away from marinas. Stabilisation systems operate both underway and at anchor, and the engine room has been arranged for straightforward access, service routes, and long-term maintainability consistent with Cantiere delle Marche’s expedition-oriented philosophy.

Accommodation & Interior

Accommodation is arranged for up to 10 guests across 5 cabins, with 4 crew cabins for up to 7 crew including a dedicated captain’s cabin adjacent to the bridge. The owner’s suite is positioned on the main deck and includes a private study, generous storage, and an ensuite arranged for comfortable long-term living aboard. On the lower deck, the guest layout consists of two VIP doubles and two twin cabins with Pullman berths, creating a flexible 10-guest arrangement without feeling crowded. Each cabin benefits from ensuite facilities, quality finishes, and sensible storage suitable for extended voyages rather than short weekend use.

The interior styling is modern and understated, using clean architectural lines, light-toned woods, and durable materials chosen for longevity in an expedition environment. Large windows brighten the main saloon, lounge, and dining spaces while maintaining climate efficiency and onboard comfort. A fully equipped galley supports serious provisioning and professional service standards, making the yacht equally suitable for private use or compliant charter programmes.

Exterior Functionality & Leisure Features

The upper deck lounge offers additional informal living space, while the spacious sundeck combines leisure and functionality with a deck-mounted jacuzzi, sunpads, bar, and gym equipment. Wide side decks, protected walkways, and purposeful deck hardware reinforce her offshore readiness. A hydraulic swim platform adds convenience for sea access, and the yacht carries an 11.89-metre RIB together with a 5.03-metre jet tender, giving owners exceptional independence for shore excursions, water sports, and remote anchorage exploration.

Technology, Connectivity & Purchase Strength

The bridge is designed for extended passage-making and incorporates integrated navigation displays, autopilot, radar, GPS, AIS, chart plotting systems, and stabilisation controls. Communication capability includes Starlink connectivity and onboard Wi-Fi, enabling practical remote cruising without sacrificing modern connectivity. Electrical, climate-control, plumbing, and safety systems are arranged to support genuine long-range use and current compliance expectations. Given her 2023 build year, minimal ownership history, and strong shipyard pedigree, she presents particularly well in the brokerage market. A sea trial and full survey are recommended as part of buyer due diligence to verify structural condition, onboard systems, efficiency, and comfort underway.

Ownership Opportunity

This RJ115 is an outstanding option for buyers seeking a modern 35-metre explorer yacht with transoceanic range, steel-hull strength, elegant Italian design, and true owner independence. She is ready to support ambitious cruising plans from the Mediterranean to more remote destinations without compromising comfort or presentation.
