Since its debut with the RJ130 the first model in the series which launched in 2021, the RJ line has swiftly earned a prominent place in the elite world of explorer super yachts. Designed to combine robust seafaring performance with contemporary elegance, the RJ series set a new standard for a modern expedition yacht. The vessels’ striking lines, exceptional engineering, and long-range cruising capabilities captured the attention of industry experts and owners alike, immediately positioning the RJ series as a benchmark in its category. Riding the wave of the RJ130’s success, Cantiere delle Marche followed up with the delivery of two RJ115s. These 115-foot yachts maintained the rugged spirit of the original while introducing new levels of comfort, design finesse, and the highest level of customization, further solidifying the RJ line’s reputation for delivering vessels that blend explorer-grade performance with refined luxury, as both won the World Superyacht Award in 2024 and 2025. Now, capitalizing on the momentum and acclaim of its predecessors, Cantiere delle Marche announces the launch of the latest and most ambitious model in the series: the RJ155. Appropriately christened RJ, this 155-foot flagship represents the culmination of the yard’s vision: a super yacht that not only pushes the boundaries of size and capability but also stays true to the DNA that made the series a success. With its increased volume, extended range, and bespoke detailing, the RJ155 is set to redefine expectations yet again in the world of luxury exploration. With a length overall shy of 47m, she is the longest yacht built to date by the Ancona-based shipyard, although not for long as three Flexplorer 165 are in construction with the first scheduled for a 2027 delivery. Though sleek in design the Cantiere delle Marche points out that the RJ155 is a true expedition vessel, which boasts the rugged capabilities of an oceangoing explorer: steel hull, aluminium superstructure, long range, generous storage, and top-tier equipment. Francesco Paszkowski shaped the yacht’s exterior, while Achille Salvagni crafted the custom interiors, including much of the loose furniture. With a total length shy of 47m, a displacement of 510t, and a Gross Tonnage just below 500GT, the RJ155 combines elegance with performance. Paszkowski’s design includes extended overhangs for shaded terraces, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. Naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio ensures seaworthiness, stability, and efficiency, aided by twin Caterpillar 1200hp engines, two pairs of electric stabilizers by CMC Marine, and a 66,400-litre fuel capacity. She will cruise over 5,000 nm at 10 knots. Spread over three decks plus a large sundeck, RJ155 accommodates 12 guests in five suites, including an Owner’s suite with a private gym. Expansive outdoor spaces, tender storage, and a large lazarette for toys reflect CdM’s explorer DNA.
