We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Flexplorer 146 Maverick by Cantiere delle Marche (CdM), a true testament to excellence in yacht building. This remarkable vessel represents a new pinnacle in explorer yachts, blending robust design with luxurious features to create an unparalleled seafaring experience.

A Message from CdM Leadership

Vasco Buonpensiere, Co-founder and CEO of CdM, expressed his pride in this launch: "Maverick holds a special place in our hearts because it belongs to an Owner who has become a major shareholder of our shipyard. This explorer yacht is a result of the harmony and mutual respect developed between us and Tom Schroder. Maverick is a fantastic explorer yacht and a bearer of top-notch innovation and engineering solutions. We are confident that its entry onto the international yachting stage will be met with the utmost success."

Ennio Cecchini, Co-founder and President of CdM, added: "Maverick embodies the core values of our company - quality, luxury, and a relentless pursuit of perfection. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to provide an unparalleled experience for our clients. This yacht stands as a symbol of our collective achievement."

Maverick: A Masterpiece of Design and Innovation

Hydro Tec is responsible for Maverick's exterior lines, naval architecture, and engineering, while the interiors are designed by Francesco Paszkowski in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. The yacht is customized to the owner's wishes, boasting unique features that set her apart from her two sister ships.

Show-Stopping Features of Maverick

1. Custom-built A-frame Crane: Crafted from carbon fiber by Advanced Mechanical Solutions, this crane has a lifting capacity of 4 tons. It tucks away elegantly after launching tenders, making room for a beach club featuring a gym, sauna, and diving center.

2. Collapsible Bulwarks: These can be folded down, extending the aft deck into a sprawling 135 square meters of beachy bliss. Deck fittings on the swim platform elevate the experience.

3. Ice Belt: Designed for sailing in iced seas, Maverick features a 22mm thick ice belt at waterline level, ensuring safe and unforgettable journeys through frosty waters.

4. Custom Tender: Maverick includes a 9.5-meter custom tender designed by Valerio Rivellini, alongside an array of water-toys, launched effortlessly by the powerful A-frame crane.

5. Swimming Pool: The transom features a pool, which is covered when cruising and transforms into storage for deck furniture.

6. Asymmetrical Elegance: Inspired by the Flexplorer 130 Aurelia, Maverick's asymmetrical layout on the main deck provides a full-beam configuration to the starboard side, expanding the salon area and leaving a passageway on the port side for seamless service.

Luxurious Interiors

The interior, masterfully crafted by Francesco Paszkowski, reflects luxury, functionality, and contemporary elegance. Collaborating closely with the 'Lady Owner', the design team infused a distinctive and personal style into the yacht's interior, using a neutral palette and carefully selected materials to create a family-focused ambiance. Enormous windows flood the space with light, enhancing the serene and practical atmosphere.

Layout and Functionality

From the Crow’s Nest to the Lower Deck, Maverick's arrangement exemplifies luxury and functionality. Each deck, including the Owner Deck, Main Deck, and Lower Deck, offers a unique charm, ensuring an unparalleled experience at every turn.

A Journey Beyond

Maverick's visionary owners, Tom Schroder and his family, are set to embark on an extraordinary journey beyond the secure Mediterranean havens. Their exploration will span the highest latitudes, including Iceland, Greenland, and the northern Canadian coasts and estuaries, marking the inaugural leg of a multi-year global journey that Maverick is impeccably prepared to undertake.

In conclusion, Maverick is more than just an explorer yacht; it is a floating dream and a masterpiece on the water. We eagerly anticipate unveiling her grand debut and witnessing her success on the international yachting stage.
