We announced of having been appointed Exclusive Sales Agent for three
second hand Darwin Class explorers, M/Y Stella del Nord (Darwin 86′), M/Y Acala and M/Y Babbo (both Darwin 102).
Vasco Buonpensiere – co-founder and Sales and Marketing Director of
Cantiere delle Marche – is proud to announce that the first in the list, M/Y Stella del
Nord, has been sold to Andrea Bocelli, the internationally renowned Italian singer and songwriter introduced to CdM by the Italian brokerage firm Corte srl based in Lavagna.
This sale confirms CdM Pre-owned Sales Department as a qualified and trustworthy
partner.
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.
A purposely created team – CdM Pre-owned Sales Department – guides and supports
the new Owner through the negotiation phase, the sea trial, contract and handover
process. In case the new owner would like to refresh/refit the yacht he is buying, CdM also provides all the support needed through its Technical and Production team, together with the Interior Design Department. The shipyard can obviously also provide to the refit at its facilities using its brand new private berths.
M/Y Stella del Nord, the fourth Darwin Class 86′ built by Cantiere delle Marche,
launched in 2015, has been specified at the highest standards and treated extremely
well by her previous Owner and she has been put up for sale like new.
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!
