Italian shipyard Cantiere delle Marche (CDM) has delivered its "one off" 42.6-metre explorer yacht known as Babbo. This follows her launch in July 2024.

Exterior design has been completed in collaboration with Francesco Paszkowski, while naval architecture is owed to Hydro Tec. Key numbers include 499GT of internal volume and an 8.7-metre beam.

Equipped with a steel hull and boasting a cruising range of 5,000 nautical miles, Babbo can sail in extreme conditions and reach far-flung destinations. The yacht is powered by two heavy-duty Caterpillar C32 Acert engines which are IMO Tier III-compliant and offer a top speed of 14 knots.

The interiors of the model have been designed with an "indoor/outdoor ethos" realised through an extensive use of glass in both the main and upper deck saloon, with the latter offering a bright and airy glass-wrapped veranda for direct connection with the sea.

There are four double suites for guests located on the main deck forward, with another two twin cabins on the lower deck. The lower deck is outfitted with four crew cabins and a captain’s suite by the wheelhouse, alongside a sizeable galley with a crew mess and laundry.

Babbo can carry a range of toys with a dedicated storage compartment located forward on the upper deck.

According to BOATPro, CDM has 11 yachts currently on order or under construction. This follows the unveiling of a new, 31.1-metre explorer model known as RAW at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival. The first unit has already been sold with highlights that include drone and helicopter landing capability and a swim platform designed as a "panoramic balcony".
