The seventh unit of the groundbreaking Flexplorer series has been sold

“Cantiere delle Marche is extremely proud of this contract, which is the first of a series of three which are going to be executed in the next few weeks. I think that this commercial success, following an incredible boat shows season, stands as a testament to the trust and confidence the market has in our shipyard,” says Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and CEO of CdM. “The success of the Flexplorer series reflects CdM’s commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and understanding the unique needs of its discerning clientele. This is the third Flexplorer 165 to be sold in 2024.”

The sale of this remarkable yacht was achieved in collaboration with Chris Holtzheuser of Allied Marine. The vessel was commissioned by an experienced North American yacht owner, who recognized the Flexplorer 165 as the ideal choice for their adventurous lifestyle and family-oriented needs. This is the third sale to an US owner since the beginning of the year.

Tailored for Fishing Enthusiasts: This yacht is designed for an Owner who has a passion for fishing. This is why she will carry a Grady-White Freedom 285 - 28’ Dual Console tender. To launch and haul this robust motorboat, the A-frame crane capacity has been increased to 4.5 tons. Additionally, two other tenders are included to enhance water-based recreation, underlining the yacht’s adventurous spirit.

Family-friendly & flexible layout: Designed for a large family, the Flexplorer 165 offers a flexible layout. The Sky Lounge can easily be converted into an additional cabin, while another cabin on the port side of the lower deck can be configured either as a private lounge or an extra guest cabin. This adaptability ensures that every journey is comfortable and tailored to the Owner’s needs.

Main data: Measuring just under 50 meters and with a Gross Tonnage shy of 500GT, the Flexplorer 165 has a beam of 9.00m and a draft of 2.30m.

Performances: Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines delivering 970 kW at 1800 rpm, the yacht offers a maximum speed of 15 knots (at 100% Max Output Power) and a range of above 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots.

Luxurious Interior Design: The interiors are entrusted to Giorgio M. Cassetta, whose ability to think and design beyond conventional boundaries and trends, combined with his creativity and sensitivity, ensures a perfect blend of personality and functionality.
