RAW is a powerful explorer yacht that stands for Recreation, All-Weather, and Watercraft. Designed to excel in all conditions, this yacht emphasizes functionality and resilience, offering adventure without limitations.
Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) continues to push boundaries with its latest project: the RAW explorer yacht. Developed in collaboration with acclaimed designer Giorgio M. Cassetta, RAW redefines what an explorer yacht can be. Its powerful, direct design avoids superficial features, focusing instead on functionality, durability, and comfort over long-distance journeys.
RAW’s design emphasizes authenticity, using raw materials that highlight its low environmental impact. This 102ft, three-deck yacht is built for all-weather cruising, with its imposing profile, high bow, and versatile outdoor spaces. The aft cockpit can transform into a weather-protected veranda, with an integrated swim platform and panoramic sunbed for relaxation.
The yacht’s ability to carry up to two 5m tenders in the bow is a standout feature, a remarkable achievement for a new yacht of this size. Additional highlights include ample technical spaces and the incredible addition of drone and small helicopter landing capabilities. These features make RAW a robust, adaptable yacht, ready for any adventure.
As co-founder and CEO Vasco Buonpensiere explains, RAW isn’t about flash; it’s about creating a reliable, purpose-driven explorer yacht. With its bold orange details and sophisticated design, RAW is poised to set a new standard in the world of explorer yachts.
