Stellamar, 2023 RJ115 by Cantiere delle Marche — World Superyacht Award Winner — Long‑Range Explorer — Exceptional Charter Performer

Stellamar ranks among the most compelling 35 m explorer motor yachts available today—an accolade-winning blend of Italian style, far‑reaching autonomy, and a proven charter record. Built by Cantiere delle Marche and celebrated with a 2024 World Superyacht Award, she reflects the yard’s hallmark of rigorous engineering and cultivated craftsmanship befitting a Luxury Motor Yacht and Superyacht.

Conceived by Francesco Paszkowski, the 2023 CDM RJ115 Stellamar unites enduring sophistication with the rugged intent of an Expedition/Explorer Yacht.

Paszkowski’s ingenuity delivers generous interior volume and elevated amenities within her 35‑meter footprint—refined, versatile, and charter‑ready.

Sergio Cutolo / Hydro Tec naval architecture underpins excellent seakeeping, economy, and comfort. Twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines paired with 45,000 liters of fuel provide a remarkable 5,000+ nm range at 10 knots, enabling genuine ocean‑roaming without frequent refueling. Electric‑driven stabilizers and a purpose‑designed hull form enhance poise and confidence offshore, reinforcing Stellamar’s standing as a Displacement Superyacht, Long‑Range Cruiser, and standout Charter Yacht.

Interior design & accommodation

Developed in close collaboration with her Owners, Stellamar’s interiors are serene, natural, and exquisitely balanced, with bright European oak flooring and ceilings, cream leather paneling, soft textures, and iconic pieces from Christian Liaigre, Poliform, Poltrona Frau, Cassina, and more creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. She sleeps 12 guests in five staterooms, with a full-beam Master Suite on the main deck and four ensuite cabins on the lower deck, including two Pullmans that add flexible capacity for families or additional guests. The Owner’s bathroom is conceived as a spa sanctuary with a full bathtub, a steam/hammam shower, and an infrared sauna, offering a level of wellness rarely found in this size category. Crew accommodations are equally well considered, housing seven across three lower deck cabins, complemented by a private Captain’s cabin adjacent to the wheelhouse for efficient operations. Large windows in both the main salon and the skylounge flood the interiors with natural light and preserve an uninterrupted connection to the ocean even when indoors.

Exterior spaces

Outdoor living was central to the RJ115’s design brief, and every deck delivers generous dining and lounging zones supported by an intelligent circulation plan that places all exterior stairs to port and offers comfortable walk-around side decks. Highlights include an extended swim platform ideal for boarding, watersports, and beach-club lounging, expansive aft decks tailored for dining, entertaining, and charter use, and a sundeck shaped for relaxation, views, and open-air enjoyment, while architectural glass elements amplify the sensation of space and connection to the sea. Her open stern and extensive glazing elevate life at anchor or underway, creating an enveloping, panoramic experience.
