The keel of the 45-meter custom explorer Project T has been laid at Cantiere delle Marche.

Construction of the 45-meter explorer yacht Project T from Cantiere delle Marche began with the keel-laying ceremony. Her owner welded a small steel plate to the keel, working closely with the Ancona-based shipyard's design team to create a completely customized explorer.

The superyacht that will be launched next September was designed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta and is characterised by an elegant and evocative sheer line that connects an almost vertical bow to an inviting transom with a large beach area.

Project T features large windows on both the main and upper decks, giving guests a sense of connection between interior and exterior. Her spaces have been carefully designed for outdoor living and include relaxation rooms, an al fresco dining area, and wide side passages.

This superyacht can accommodate eight guests in four large suites located on the lower deck, while the owner's quarters are located in the bow section of the main deck, featuring a full-beam apartment equipped with every comfort and an outdoor area for relaxing in complete privacy.

"The design process was carried out, together with the owners, for over a year and through numerous production design iterations," said Cassetta, appreciating the result of an expert client's bold vision transformed into reality. "It represents a statement of essential and pure design, in which form and function work closely together to offer the best experience to the fortunate future owners," commented the designer. The naval architecture and engineering solutions for the full-displacement hull are by Sergio Cutolo of Hydro Tec.

The twin MAN V12-1400 engines will power the explorer yacht to a top speed of 14,5 knots, and a cruising range of 4.000 nautical miles will allow her owner to visit the most remote corners of the globe.
