Pazienza is the third delivery in the RJ series of explorer yachts, following the RJ 130 Nuri and the RJ 115 Stellamar, both of which garnered attention at the Cannes and Monaco Boat Shows and won the prestigious World Superyacht Award in their category. Additionally, an RJ 155 is currently under construction at the Ancona shipyard. The former owners of Nuri, having been highly satisfied with the RJ 130 and selling it profitably, initiated the development of a larger vessel to meet their extended cruising aspirations. "This is an undeniable sign of trust in CdM and a source of pride for all of us," said Vasco Buonpensiere, CEO of Cantiere delle Marche and co-founder with Ennio Cecchini.

"This is an undeniable sign of trust in CdM and a source of pride for all of us," said Vasco Buonpensiere, CEO of Cantiere delle Marche and co-founder with Ennio Cecchini.

"We are very pleased with the commercial success of the RJ range. It demonstrates that style and elegance can be perfectly combined with the rugged character typical of our explorer yachts," Buonpensiere stated. "An increasing number of owners realize that combining comfort and design with construction features and technical equipment ensuring safe navigation is a winning choice. We recently signed a contract for an RJ 102 commissioned by another Australian owner. The Australian market is giving us great satisfaction! We have just sold a Nauta Air 110 to Marcus Blackmore, a renowned Australian sailor. Our boats are well-suited for those seas."

The RJ series features the creative vision of Florentine designer Francesco Paszkowski. His distinctive style is evident in Pazienza’s sleek and sturdy bow and expansive windows. From the subtly inset windows and portholes to the dynamic fashion plates and the graceful curvature of the stern, Paszkowski’s meticulous attention to detail enhances the yacht's exterior aesthetics.

Pazienza, the second unit of the RJ115 model after Stellamar, showcases a high level of customization. Apart from the completely different furnishings in style and layout, Pazienza has more cabins than Stellamar, openable French doors on both sides of the salon, a large aft pool on the Sun Deck, and a tender garage with a side opening. It also features a retractable crane housed in the overhang of the Sun Deck to haul and launch the second tender.

Interior Design

The interior furnishings, resulting from close collaboration between the Paszkowski studio and the owners, are sober and relaxing, with a palette of neutral colors—beige, cream, brown, and rare hints of blue. The walls and furniture are predominantly satin-finished stained oak, contrasting with the dark, polished surfaces of some furniture elements, paneling, small furniture, and bedside tables. The floors are bleached oak interspersed with large areas of cream-colored carpet. In addition to custom-made furniture designed by Paszkowski, Pazienza’s interiors feature furnishings from well-known brands like Maxalto and Minotti sofas, Minotti Reeves armchairs, a Flexform dining table for 12 with a glass top, and Origami chairs from Reflex.

Layout in Brief

Upon boarding, guests are welcomed by a conversation area in the cockpit, served by a bar and directly connected to the swim platform accessed via a wide staircase. The main deck includes a salon with conversation and dining areas, a kitchen, and a spacious owner’s suite with openable windows in both the cabin and the office. The lower deck houses four guest cabins, while a VIP cabin is located on the Upper Deck. The expansive Sun Deck is equipped for enjoyable outdoor stays.

Sun Deck

The Sun Deck provides unparalleled comfort for both owners and guests, akin to the luxurious ambiance of a penthouse terrace. It features a generously sized table sheltered by a hard-top, an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, a lavish bar with Agate stone slabs, and ample space for sunbathing, complemented by a panoramic aft pool adorned with stunning Agate stone. A distinctive feature is the external helm station on the Sun Deck, transforming it into a functional Flying Bridge.

Upper Deck

The Upper Deck includes a panoramic lounge connected to a spacious aft terrace, ideal for alfresco dining. It houses one of the two tenders, deployed using a concealed crane, and a VIP cabin for privileged guests. The helm station, featuring premium materials like Penelopeoggi leathers and large Furuno-Boning screens, ensures smooth sailing and efficient operations.

Main Deck

The Main Deck’s salon is a luminous space with lounging and dining areas, large windows, and openable sliding doors. The galley, adjacent to the salon, is equipped with Miele appliances and spacious refrigerators and freezers. The Owner’s suite, featuring a study, dressing room, a cozy living area, and an ensuite bathroom with luxurious Calacatta Grey marble countertops, epitomizes opulence and comfort.

Lower Deck

The Lower Deck includes four elegantly appointed cabins, a crew area with additional crew cabins, a garage with an overhead crane and a luxurious sauna, and an expansive engine room. The garage opens onto the swim platform, granting access to the engine room housing powerful Caterpillar Cat18 engines and Kohler generators. Pazienza boasts an impressive autonomy of 5,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, with remarkably modest fuel consumption.
