Cantiere delle Marche 46.8m Expedition Yacht (2019 / 2021 Refit) | 5 Cabins | 4,700nm Range | Malta Flag | Brindisi, Italy

Delivered in 2019 by the highly respected Italian builder Cantiere delle Marche and refreshed through a comprehensive 2021 refit, this 46.8-metre expedition motor yacht is engineered for serious bluewater cruising with commercial-grade build DNA and modern superyacht comfort. Studio Sculli developed her naval architecture, exterior profile, and interior concept as one cohesive design package—resulting in a technically credible offshore platform that still presents with contemporary styling and a unified onboard aesthetic. Currently in Brindisi, Italy, she is offered as a long-range, owner-ready exploration yacht with strong documentation and refit transparency.

Construction, Hull Form & Volume
Built with a full-displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she measures 46.8m overall (40m waterline length) with a 9.4m beam and 2.8m draft. Her 499 GT internal volume across four full decks delivers substantial interior space, storage, and technical areas typically associated with larger vessels—ideal for autonomy-focused cruising. Teak decking runs throughout exterior circulation zones for durability and refined finish. The hull form emphasizes efficiency, predictable offshore motion, and structural longevity, with engineering details reflecting commercial-grade construction standards adapted for high-end yachting. Underwater surfaces were addressed during the 2021 refit, including renewed antifouling coatings, and HIN/CIN documentation is available in the official registration papers for buyer verification.

Performance, Range & Machinery
Twin Caterpillar C-32 ACERT diesel engines (1,450 HP each at 1,800 rpm) provide a combined 2,900 HP and drive conventional shaft lines to twin screw propellers. The yacht achieves approximately 15 knots top speed and cruises efficiently at 13 knots, while an economical 10-knot passage speed delivers an estimated 4,700-nautical-mile range—supported by a significant 71,000-litre fuel capacity. Engines are mounted on vibration-dampening systems to reduce noise transmission and improve onboard comfort, and technical documentation such as engine serial numbers, service history, and generator hours are available for review as part of the due diligence package.

Handling, Stability & Power Management
Maneuverability is enhanced with a bow thruster for confident harbour operations. At-anchor stabilizers reduce roll motion during stationary periods, supporting guest comfort during extended stays. Generator units support full hotel loads (climate control, galley equipment, lighting, entertainment), with sound attenuation measures integrated in the engine room. Electrical infrastructure includes battery banks, distribution panels, breaker systems, inverter/charger units, and shore power connectivity for reliable energy management. Plumbing systems incorporate freshwater pumps, bilge pumps, water heaters, and grey/black water holding tanks designed in line with international standards.

Guest Layout & Interior Functionality
Accommodation is arranged for up to 10 guests across five cabins: a full-beam owner’s suite, two VIP cabins, and two double guest cabins, each with en-suite facilities. The owner’s suite benefits from the yacht’s generous beam, creating a private retreat designed for extended onboard living. The main salon offers generous seating and dining with large windows to maximise natural light and outside views, while the galley is fitted to professional standards—supporting private cruising and potential charter operations (where applicable).

Crew Operations & Circulation
Crew accommodation for nine is arranged in five dedicated cabins, including a separate captain’s cabin, allowing efficient onboard operations with clear separation between guest and crew circulation routes—an important advantage for long-range and service-intensive use.

Deck Areas, Equipment & Exploration Profile
Exterior living is distributed across four decks, offering multiple social and relaxation zones. The sun deck includes sunpads, a jacuzzi, and an exterior bar. A crane system supports tenders and equipment handling, reinforcing her expedition capability. Navigation systems include autopilot, radar, GPS, AIS, chart plotters, and communications equipment to support long-range navigation. Safety equipment includes fire suppression systems for machinery spaces, portable extinguishers, and life-saving appliances maintained in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Registry, VAT & Purchase Process
The yacht is registered under the Maltese flag and comes with documented VAT status and applicable tax considerations available for buyer review. Ownership history and refit records form part of a due diligence file intended to provide transparency on maintenance and operational background. Inspections and sea trials can be arranged to validate propulsion performance, stabilization systems, and onboard functionality. Standard acquisition steps typically include a formal agreement, escrow-held deposit, survey period, and structured closing procedure—supporting buyer and seller protection.
