The Italian shipyard Cantiere delle Marche has announced the sale of the first yacht in its RAW 105 series. The acronym RAW stands for Recreational All-Weather Watercraft. This explorer yacht measures 32 meters in length, making it slightly larger than its sister model, the RAW 102, which is 31.1 meters long and was showcased at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival.



Initially, the owner purchased the RAW 102 but later decided to upgrade to the larger model, which he found to be better balanced in terms of performance. The distinctive geometric exterior design is also crafted by Giorgio M. Cassetta, though in the new model, the designer opted to eliminate the bright orange elements featured in the RAW 102.



The layout of the RAW 105 closely resembles that of the smaller model, including the capability for helicopter landing, space for two five-meter tenders in the bow, and the external placement of engine ventilation ducts to maximize interior space. A notable feature of the yacht is the swimming platform designed as a "panoramic balcony" with low sides and railings. A section of the side can fold down, providing easy access to the water.



The aft section of the main deck is designed for year-round use and is sheltered from the wind by floor-to-ceiling glass screens, creating an effect similar to a glassed-in veranda. The overhang of the upper deck provides ample shade on hot days. 

The RAW 105 boasts a range of over 5,000 nautical miles.
