Italy — October 2025 – Cantiere delle Marche proudly announces the launch of Presence, the flagship 130-foot (40-meter) yacht of its acclaimed Acciaio series. The launch reinforces the shipyard’s reputation for innovation, quality, and robust design in the luxury explorer yacht segment.

Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and CEO, stated:
"I am truly delighted with this latest launch, which highlights the vitality and creative energy of Cantiere delle Marche. Our shipyard continues to redefine the concept of the explorer yacht while staying true to the values that have always distinguished our builds: quality, reliability, and strength. This achievement reflects the talent and dedication of our entire team."

Exceptional Design: Exterior and Interior

The Acciaio 130 features four decks, with a striking exterior by Hydro Tec and interiors by renowned designer Giorgio M. Cassetta.

"The interiors are designed to be contemporary, fresh, and never pretentious," explains Cassetta. "They create a playful, vibrant atmosphere that is both inviting and full of character. Every detail balances comfort with personality, offering an environment that is elegant yet relaxed—a perfect setting for luxury yachting."

Performance and Engineering Excellence

This bold explorer yacht is built for adventure, featuring an imposing flared bow capable of cutting through high seas and a flowing sheer line that creates a sophisticated, timeless profile. The design extends across the main, upper, and sun decks, accentuated by sleek strip windows.

With a length of 40 meters, beam of 8 meters, and displacement of 388 tons, the Acciaio 130 features a highly efficient hull with a bulbous bow for reduced fuel consumption and a smooth, stable ride. Powered by two Man D2862LE engines delivering 749 kW each, and equipped with a Catalytic Reduction System compliant with IMO Tier III standards, the yacht achieves a range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, supported by a fuel capacity exceeding 54,000 liters.

A Testament to Partnership and Craftsmanship

Richard Kaye, Project Manager at Arcon Yachts, commented:
"We are proud of the successful launch of the Acciaio 130 by Cantiere delle Marche. This is our third Acciaio model built in collaboration with CdM. Our partnership continues to deliver consistent quality, performance, and innovation in the world of luxury explorer yachts."

Presence exemplifies Cantiere delle Marche’s commitment to bespoke craftsmanship, advanced engineering, and exceptional design, solidifying its position as a leader in the global luxury explorer yacht market.
