BABBO

BABBO is a 42.61-metre steel motor yacht built by Cantiere delle Marche in 2024 as the EXP 43 model, registered in Italy, with both exterior and interior design by Francesco Paszkowski Design. Cantiere delle Marche has built a clear reputation for long-range explorer yachts — the EXP series is the builder's signature product, combining full-displacement steel construction with genuine ocean-going range and a modern design sensibility that has attracted considerable attention in the superyacht market. At 476 gross tonnes with a 60,000-litre fuel load and a 5,000 nautical mile range, BABBO is designed for extended passages far beyond her declared Mediterranean operating area.

She accommodates 12 guests across six cabins with a crew of 10, a ratio that supports quality service without reaching the staffing intensity of the largest superyachts. Her declared charter regions focus on the French Riviera and western Mediterranean, specifically Corsica, Monaco, Cannes, St Tropez, and Calvi — a concentrated and high-prestige zone that suits a newly commissioned vessel entering the charter market. BABBO is best suited to guests who value a new build, a long-range explorer format, and the design coherence that Paszkowski brings to a project from hull to interior. She is not the right vessel for guests who need high transit speeds, with her maximum of 14 knots and cruise of 10 knots reflecting a full-displacement philosophy that prioritises sea-keeping over pace.

Cantiere delle Marche's construction standards are consistently applied across the EXP range, and BABBO as a 2024 delivery carries the current specification in full. The Italian flag registration adds a layer of regulatory rigour that factors into her overall operational profile. Twin Caterpillar engines and a conservative hull design ensure reliable performance across extended voyages.

The onboard experience reflects a thoughtful balance between shoreside access and open-water living. Amenities include a beach club, hammam, sauna, Turkish bath, hydraulic swim platform, sun deck, sunpads, exterior bar, outdoor shower, and Wi-Fi, alongside both underway and at-anchor stabilisers. The water sports inventory covers a jet ski, two foilboards, two kayaks, four e-bikes, four electric scooters, a wakeboard, water-skis, an inflatable jet ski dock, an inflatable water toy raft, a waterbike, beach games, and snorkelling equipment — a package that reflects the explorer yacht ethos of arriving well-equipped in less-serviced anchorages.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
