130 CdM Flexplorer Expedition Yacht [AURELIA]
Yacht: 130 CdM Flexplorer Explorer Yacht Yacht Broker: Alex Clarke // [email protected] // 954.763.3971 Specs + Photos: https://hubs.ly/Q010lkng0 This is Cantiere delle Marche’s first Flexplorer, a 39-meter explorer named Aurelia is built for adventure and has a fearless spirit. Akin to her robust exterior, the interior is just as magical and spacious. It’s usually a question of more space – a bigger beach club, a gym or a stellar master cabin. But it’s quite rare to get a new boat built primarily to carry a larger tender. Nevertheless, this is how it was for the proud owner of the first Flexplorer to emerge from the young Italian yard Cantiere delle Marche last autumn – 39 meters of elegant go-anywhere yacht. Customization has been key to the brand’s market appeal and the Flexplorer series offers alternative layout solutions without the need for radical re-engineering. There is no doubt that Aurelia is capable of ‘real’ exploring. In the CDM conference room sits a sample of the hull plating used for all its yachts. The heavy steel plate is 12mm thick – 4mm more than the standard required by Class. The extra-thick steel adds robustness but also extra weight down low in the vessel where it is most needed to enhance stability and comfort. Another prerequisite for an explorer yacht is long-range. Aurelia can cruise 5,000 nautical miles on her twin CAT C32 engines with a heavy-duty rating and a fuel capacity of 60,000 liters. Aurelia is also the first CDM yacht to be fitted with two pairs of zero-speed stabilizers.
