The Darwin 86 is a beautiful and muscular horse, bred for its intelligence and willingness to work. The same goes for Cantiere delle Marche’s Darwin series, a range of sturdy explorer-style vessels “bred”—or rather, developed—for their long-range and seakeeping abilities.

CdM hired naval architect Sergio Cutolo of Hydro Tec to design and engineer a range of yachts for owners seeking to fulfill their dream of a safe adventure at sea. The hull boasts a high bow and low fuel consumption yielding a range of up to 7,000 nm at 8.5 knots.

Within the Darwin’s oceangoing package are the kind of refinements you’d expect to find aboard a luxury yacht, including a refined décor and high-end equipment.

The Darwin 86 Empire is Delivered

• By Yachting Staff
• June 21, 2024

Cantiere delle Marche has delivered the Darwin 86 Empire , which now joins the shipyard’s fleet of 12 Darwins that range from 86 to 112 feet length overall.

“The Darwin Class is still giving us a great satisfaction, confirming the validity of a model that stands the test of time,” Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and CEO of Cantiere delle Marche, stated in a press release.

Empire is owned by an American who wanted a custom design that’s capable of long voyages in high-latitude regions. Hydro Tec handled the aesthetics.

The yacht has what Cantiere delle Marche calls an “ice belt” at the waterline, along with a reinforced hull and rudders for icy conditions.

According to what the shipyard described as “a quite unusual request from the owner,” the hull is partially built with bulletproof steel plates, reflecting his intention to navigate remote and challenging seas. Also to enhance security, Empire is protected by what the shipyard calls “a sophisticated anti-intrusion system.” Another unusual feature is a fourth pilot station, located in the engine room.

Interiors are by Alessandro Massari. The owner requested understated elegance, according to the shipyard. Custom-made furniture is included, along with pieces by Poltrona Frau and Poliform.

Empire ’s layout includes a full-beam owner’s stateroom located amidships on the lower deck. Adjacent to the master are two guest staterooms with twin berths and Pullmans to accommodate extra guests. Forward on the lower deck is the VIP stateroom.

Quarters for four crew are located forward on the main deck with a substantial crew mess where the team can relax. These quarters are connected to the wheelhouse on the upper deck to ensure efficient communication and crew movement.

For guests, Empire ’s main deck has indoor and outdoor spaces for lounging and dining. A bar is on this deck, as is the galley.

On the upper deck, there’s a gymnasium as well as a lounge area that opens onto an outdoor terrace. The wheelhouse is also on this deck with Böning integrated monitoring and control systems.

The sundeck is outfitted with loose furniture and sunbeds.

Power comes from twin Scania engines, each delivering 294 kW. Three generators from Northern Light provide a total of 155 kW of power. The yacht also has sodium-lithium chloride batteries for enhanced energy efficiency.

Let’s talk performance data for the Darwin 86 Empire : According to Cantiere delle Marche, sea trials with the yacht at half load resulted in a top speed of 11.6 knots with a fuel consumption of about 38 gallons per hour. Noise levels were below 40 decibels, which is about the same as the quiet hum of a refrigerator.

Empire: Cantiere delle Marche delivers 26m explorer to American owner

Related articles, superyacht directory.

Cantiere delle Marche (CDM) has delivered the sixth unit of its 26.3-metre Darwin 86 explorer series, named Empire . The yacht was sold to an American owner in 2021. 

Intending to operate the vessel himself and "venture into distant and challenging seas", the owner requested numerous customisations, including an ice belt, a dedicated panic room "in case of attack" and a hull reinforced with bulletproof steel plates. She has been designed by Hydro Tec .

"The direct relationship with the owner and his 360-degree involvement in the development of the project at all stages [...] is why I do the best job in the world, in the best place," said project manager Fillipo Dall'Aglio.

In contrast to her sisterships, Empire features a differently-shaped bow with a gentle sheer, an open stern with stairs and a carbon hardtop. Accommodation is for up to eight guests in four cabins on the lower deck, including a full-beam master. There is further complement for a crew of four.

Interiors are by Massari Design , who has cultivated a "warm and inviting ambience" by combining custom-made furniture with pieces from Poltrona Frau and Poliform, according to the shipyard. The explorer will feature storage for two tenders, a gym on the upper deck and a main deck "social hub" complete with an open plan saloon, "cosy bar", dining area and galley. The upper deck is furnished with loose furniture and sunbeds for an alternate communal area.

Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and CEO of Cantiere delle Marche, expressing satisfaction with the Darwin Class and noting its strong position in the explorer yachts’ market, says: " Empire , now joining a fleet of twelve Darwins ranging from 86 to 112 feet, exemplifies the success of the range she belongs to. The Darwin Class is still giving us a great satisfaction confirming the validity of a model that stands the test of time."

Powered by twin Scania engines, Empire will have a top speed of 11.5 knots and a range of 4,000 nautical miles when cruising at 10 knots.

According to BOATPro , CDM has 13 yachts on order or actively under construction.
