CDM Shipyard

Cantiere Delle Marche (CDM) is an Italian shipyard specialising in the construction of custom and semi-custom explorer yachts ranging from 26 to 47 metres in length. Founded in 2010 by seasoned industry veterans Ennio Cecchini and Vasco Buonpensiere, CDM quickly established itself as one of the leaders within the explorer yacht category. Located in Ancona on the Adriatic coast, CDM’s debut was marked by the launch of Vitadimare 3, a Darwin Class 86, in 2011. The Darwin Class, designed by Hydro Tec, has become a cornerstone of CDM’s offerings and is noted for its durability and ocean-going performance. In 2014, CDM expanded its portfolio with the Nauta Air series, designed by Mario Pedol and Massimo Gino of Nauta Design, introducing a blend of traditional explorer yacht capabilities with sleek, modern aesthetics.
