Flagship yacht in RJ series hits water at Cantiere delle Marche

According to the shipyard, it is the most ambitious model in the series with increased volume, extended range, and is the longest yacht ever built by the shipyard in Ancona 

With the robust steel hull, aluminium superstructure, a range of over 5000 nautical miles, lots of storage space and state-of-the-art equipment, the new flagship in RJ series was conceived as a true expedition vessel capable of ocean-going performance and ensuring a highest level of comfort. 

Francesco Paszkowski created a sleek and straightforward design that suggests motion and energy thanks to the blend of both horizontal and angled lines flowing into gently rounded edges. 

The superyacht’s modern exterior underscores her outstanding performance capabilities, while retaining an air of refined elegance. 

For the interior, designer Achille Salvagni chose an elegant and calm style and designed a lot of the furniture for the vessel, too. 

“In the RJ155 we fused ocean-going performance with refined interior artistry. Commissioned by cultured owners, the yacht becomes a narrative of elegance, intellect, and emotion. Eschewing marine clichés, its sculptural spaces evoke serenity and character. RJ155 is not just a yacht—it’s a soulful floating home”, said Achille Salvagni.

With a length of 46.71 m and a beam of 8.8 m, the vessel’s displacement 510 tons, while her internal volume is under 500 GT. Enlarged overhangs protect the exterior terraces below them from the sun, while the smooth connection of exterior and interior spaces ensures numerous opportunities for fun and relaxation. 

The RJ155 features three decks and a sundeck, as well as five cabins capable of accommodating 12 guests. In addition to the bedroom and a bathroom, there is also a private gym in the owner’s suite.

Expansive exterior areas, a garage capable of accommodating a tender and water toys will help to keep the guests entertained on long-range cruises. 

The naval architecture by PierLuigi Ausonio Naval Archtecture ensures excellent seaworthiness, stability and efficiency of the vessel, powered by twin Caterpillar C32 Acert EPA Tier 3 engines. Four electric stabilisers ensure comfort both at anchor and underway, while thanks to the fuel capacity of 66 400 litres the yacht boasts a range of 5 000 nm at 10 knots. 

The top speed is 15 knots, and the cruising speed is 12 knots.

“We’re thrilled with the RJ line’s appeal and honoured that a returning client has entrusted us with such a significant project. Impressed by both performance and comfort of his former RJ130, the Owner chose to upgrade to a larger RJ to better suit his evolving needs,” said Ennio Cecchini, president and co-founder of CDM.
