Mon Coeur joins the ranks of the finest yachts produced in the recent years: a 31-meter steel-hulled explorer yacht that refuses to compromise.

Cantiere delle Marche has taken the soul of their RJ explorer series, that distinctive blend of rugged capability and refined elegance, and distilled it into a smaller model. “We built this yacht for her Owners, their vision,” says Vasco Buonpensiere, the yard’s co-founder and CEO. “The RJ family had never ventured this compact before Mon Coeur came along. She exists because someone dreamed her and both designer Paszkowski and Cantiere delle Marche turned that dream into reality.”

RJ DNA in a smaller frame

Francesco Paszkowski says: “We faced a puzzle when entrusted to design the RJ102: how do you preserve the commanding presence and go-anywhere confidence of a larger yacht in a rather small package? The answer arrives today. The proportions are unmistakably RJ, that bold, purposeful profile have been translated into the form the owners asked for. Every line, every angle carries the family resemblance while speaking its own language.”

At 31 meters, with a beam of 7.25m and a full load displacement of 250t, beneath her contemporary exterior, Mon Coeur hides serious ocean-going ambition:

Range 3 500nm + at 10 knots
Fuel 30 000 litres
Power Twin Caterpillar C18 Acert IMO TIER III 533kW each.

She accommodates nine guests across four suites, including the owners’ (there is a pullman berth in one of the guest cabins), tended by a crew of five.

Giorgio M. Cassetta shaped her interiors spaces to mirror the owners’ lifestyle, not some catalogue ideas. The result is consistent with Mon Coeur overall feel as the designer explains: “Mon Coeur’s mission is to serve as a base camp for a couple exploring the world from aboard her. Every element of the interior design, from the expansive owner-operated galley to the warm, natural materials and textures, and the organically shaped bespoke furniture, was conceived from the ground up for the owners. The style is both understated and elegant, yet warm and richly detailed. The highly customised layout provides generous space for a deliberately limited number of guests, reinforcing the yacht’s role as a setting for meaningful experiences made all the more memorable through sharing them.”

“Working with Cantiere delle Marche to create Mon Coeur has been an absolute joy and truly the journey of a lifetime. From our very first meetings, the team’s dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit made every step of the process smooth, inspiring, and thoroughly enjoyable. Together we have built something extraordinary—a stunningly beautiful yacht that perfectly reflects our vision while delivering the quality and capability we dreamed of. Mon Coeur is more than a yacht; it’s the culmination of a wonderful partnership and the beginning of countless adventures ahead. We couldn’t be prouder or more grateful to the entire CdM family for helping us bring this dream to life“

Mon Coeur proves something our industry sometimes forgets: you don’t need an 80m yacht to find the horizon!
