Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) has announced the development of a new series of explorer yachts in collaboration with designer Giorgio M. Cassetta. The Italian boatbuilder says the series, named RAW, is aimed at providing yachts with a focus on functionality, durability and environmental consciousness.

The first model in the RAW series is a three-decker, 102-foot yacht with expansive outdoor spaces and functional interiors designed to be functional in all weather conditions. The high bow of the vessel houses tenders and water skis, leaving the stern area open for guest use.

The main deck has an aft cockpit that can be enclosed with floor-to-ceiling glass doors, meaning it can function as a veranda in all seasons. An upper deck overhang provides shading for this area. The yacht also includes a large beach area astern and a swim platform designed to offer panoramic views, with collapsible bulwarks for easy sea access.
