Thanks to CdM experience 

Thanks to CdM experience in the explorer market the pre-owned sales team indeed know how to reach the right clients also thanks to their excellent relationship with international brokers. It is important to underline that CdM markets only the explorer vessels they build, so to be able to provide the new owners with the most accurate information and after sales service.

The Darwin 86'

On the other hand the Darwin 86' is the perfect yacht for an Owner like Andrea Bocelli, who is not only an amazing singer but also an expert yachtsman, who – after having owned vessels of all sizes - wants to start his way into serious expedition yachting. Bocelli was looking for an explorer that allowed him and his family to sail far and wide, and comfortably, even in the most severe weather conditions. The Darwin 86’ perfectly matches with his wishes and requests: not too big and not operationally complicated (max crew of four, registered under the 200 GT, extremely fuel efficient) yet large enough to offer full comfort during long passages. Right after the handover, he set course for Naples and despite Stella del Nord faced rough seas, Bocelli arrived in time and relaxed to hold a concert. Not a bad start at all!
