SHARE
A 37.5m explorer yacht, designed and engineered by Marcelo Penna, has been sold to a French owner, the Italian shipyard Cantieri di Pisa has announced.
Cantieri di Pisa’s new CdP Custom Division will oversee the new 30m-plus explorer
The new technological custom explorer will be built by Cantieri di Pisa’s new CdP Custom Division, with a steel hull and composite superstructure moulded using advanced vacuum technology, which reduces tonnage and offers greater propulsion efficiency.
The yacht will be packed with luxurious comforts. A Jacuzzi, owner’s terrace, beach club, upper deck massage room, and two side-opening terraces are among the desirable features.
The new superyacht will be 37.5m long, with 8.15m at full beam.
Cantieri di Pisa is planning to launch the custom explorer by summer 2026.
The yacht is the first over 30m to be sold since Enrico Gennasio acquired the shipyard in 2021. A spokesman for AB Yachts, who represented the buyer in the deal, said the client had their heart set on a yacht built by the iconic Italian boat builder. The custom explorer will “undoubtedly set a new benchmark in the market for motoryachts in this category,” they said.
With a steel hull and composite superstructure, the superyacht will have state-of-the-art equipment and home comforts
Ideal for cruising and chartering, six guest cabins and five crew cabins will all be ensuite. The owner’s suite is to be on the main deck with a private terrace. On the same deck, will be a full-beam VIP cabin. The captain’s cabin will be located on the bridge deck next to the wheelhouse.
The superyacht will be fitted with state-of-the-art equipment throughout. A garage amidships can side-launch a 6.5m tender and waverunners, while a well-equipped galley, pantries on all decks, and top-grade entertainment systems will keep guests comfortable on longer voyages.
The custom explorer will be powered by a pair of 1,000hp Man V8 engines for a cruising speed of 14 knots, at which it will have a range of 2,600 nautical miles. Top speed will be 15 knots.
Two diesel engines will hold the highest IMO III Epa Tier IV environmental rating and a hybrid battery pack will offer full electrical autonomy for navigation and anchorage in marine protected areas. The batteries also store enough power to turn the generators off for several hours at night, powering onboard services in silence.
The custom explorer sale comes in parallel with the launch and design of the three new lines of Cantieri di Pisa, the shipyard said.
