Cantiere dell Marche’s performance in 2018 deserves to be remembered. In the course of the last twelve months this Italian shipyard has initialled enough sales contracts to keep them very busy up until 2022. CDM’s success since inception in 2010 is remarkable. The yard’s renown has been growing exponentially in just eight years, in the explorer yacht sector, which is one of the most expanding markets with congruent sales every yachting season. More than probably the right choice to build explorer type “navette” was made in the early stages and it has paid off in making CDM one of the world’s principal shipyards in this sector. It is also fair to say that much of the success is owed to management’s choice to turn to specialists in this specific field. Sergio Cutolo from Hydro Tec first and foremost then Mario Pedol from Nauta studio proved precious in developing the fleet. Explorer models the sturdy looking, gutsy and reliable ones that is, have nearly all been designed according to well tested parameters and specifications. Added values are what makes the difference and these are not

In spite of its youth, this yard is growing steadily also thanks to the special relationship built up with clients to whom the yard has offered a further service via the new born Prewned Sales epartment, which handles the sales of pre owned CDM brand yachts alone as well as assisting owners through every phase relative to their purchases, or construction in case of new builds, while reselling their previous ones.
Since we have many returning and repetitive clients, we decided to set up a made to measure service which acts as a roker in finding new owners willing to purchase from our existing fleet with the same dedicated passion and the same enthusiasm the first owner had when commissioning the yacht commented asco uonpensiere, co founder, Sales and Marketing Director of the shipyard. In the course of the approaching summer a new quay will become operational to make room for CDM yachts requiring work under warrantee or maintenance. or further information Cantiere delle arche ia Enrico attei , Ancona tel. , fax www.cantieredellemarche.it info@cantieredellemarche.it
