RJ is the 40.51-metre steel-and-aluminium explorer yacht launched in 2021 by Italian shipyard Cantiere delle Marche. She was the first example of the yard's RJ 130 range and was designed for an experienced yacht owner who wanted the practical capabilities of an explorer combined with generous indoor and outdoor living areas.

The official builder fleet record lists a beam of 8.03 metres and credits Francesco Paszkowski with exterior and interior design. The fleet listing names Sergio Cutolo for naval architecture; the shipyard's 2021 launch statement describes the naval architecture team as Hydro Tec. Her silhouette is relatively restrained, with wide main-deck glazing and several terraces intended to maintain close visual contact with the water.

Accommodation is arranged for 12 guests across five suites, with seven crew members. The owner's apartment is forward on the main deck with a walk-in wardrobe and office, while the lower deck houses two VIP suites and two additional guest cabins. Main-deck living and dining areas are complemented by an upper saloon and a more intimate games space.

Outdoor living is central to RJ's design. The upper and sun decks offer lounging and dining areas, and the sundeck incorporates a swimming pool. The tender is carried on the upper deck and handled by a concealed crane, leaving the stern garage available for water toys and diving equipment. This allocation of space reflects the shipyard's brief to support long-duration cruising and adventurous use.

The yard's original launch release lists two MTU 10V2000M72 engines at 900 kilowatts each and a top speed of 14.5 knots. It gives a projected range of about 5,500 nautical miles at an economical nine knots, with a fuel reserve remaining at arrival. That range is an estimate supplied by the shipyard rather than a verified voyage result. Interior finishes combine pale oak, rosewood, leather and natural stone in a deliberately calm palette.

Sources, assumptions and methodology

Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.

Calculation version: SYG-FI-1.0 · Last reviewed: 25 July 2026

Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history: Superyacht Guide estimates, brokerage asking prices and documented transaction values are stored as separate record types. The first baseline record marks the beginning of permanent Superyacht Guide value-history tracking; the absence of an earlier record does not mean the yacht had no earlier market value or sale history.

Refit planning for RJ

Early-life optimisation review

Approximate yacht age

5 years

A relatively recent yacht may benefit from warranty close-out, defect review, technology updates and lifecycle planning. Age alone does not indicate that a refit is required.

Age does not prove that this yacht needs a refit, and no refit cost is inferred from its estimated value.
