The RJ Class 102 pays respect to the most exquisite yacht design tradition while implementing it with highly sophisticated solutions. A 31-metre steel explorer with an aluminium superstructure, she was drawn by Francesco Paszkowski, whose tense yet sensuous lines give her an unrivalled elegance. The extensive use of glass in the bulwarks and an open stern enhance the visual continuity with the surrounding sea, proof that medium dimensions need not be the enemy of creativity. Twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines of 500 kW each give her a 13-knot maximum, a 10-knot cruise and a 4,000-nautical-mile range at 10 knots.
Below decks she accommodates eight guests across four cabins, with an additional Pullman berth for flexibility, while five crew in three cabins keep her running. Paszkowski succeeded in providing the 31-metre yacht with large spaces and luxury amenities while staying true to her explorer soul, so that the volumes feel generous and the detailing refined without ever overwhelming her go-anywhere character.
The first hull, Mon Coeur, demonstrates the harmony of the design, her profile tense and purposeful yet rich in the sensuous curves that distinguish a Paszkowski exterior. Built to order at the CdM yard in Ancona on Italy’s Adriatic coast and classed for ocean service, the RJ Class 102 brings genuine explorer capability into a compact, elegant and highly manageable package.

Twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines rated at 500 kW each give the RJ Class 102 a maximum speed of 13 knots and an economical 10-knot cruise. The full-displacement steel hull is built for range rather than pace, returning 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots. A 265-tonne full-load displacement and electrical zero-speed stabiliser fins keep her steady under way and at anchor, while a 52 kW bow and stern thruster arrangement eases close-quarters handling. The shallow 2.40-metre draught widens the choice of anchorages, and Reintjes gearboxes with a 4:1 ratio and generous tankage support the self-sufficient cruising expected of a capable explorer.
Francesco Paszkowski gave the RJ Class 102 a profile that is tense yet full of sensuous lines, lending an unrivalled elegance to her exterior. An extensive use of glass in the bulwarks and an open stern enhance the visual continuity with the surrounding environment, drawing the sea into life aboard. The steel hull and aluminium superstructure balance strength below the waterline with controlled weight above it, while well-proportioned aft and upper decks provide space for tenders, toys and open-air living. Paszkowski’s achievement is to make medium dimensions a source of creativity rather than constraint, delivering a yacht of real presence at 31 metres.
The RJ Class 102 sleeps eight guests across four cabins, with an additional Pullman berth for flexibility. The full-beam owner’s suite exploits the 7.30-metre beam, while guest cabins on the lower deck each have private bathrooms. Five crew are accommodated in three cabins with their own service areas, a complement well suited to a yacht of this size. Paszkowski provided the 31-metre yacht with large spaces and luxury amenities while staying true to her explorer soul, and Cantiere delle Marche offers extensive customisation so each owner can shape the volumes and finishes around the way they intend to use her.
Life aboard the RJ Class 102 centres on a bright main salon whose glazing and open stern keep the sea in view, opening aft to a sheltered cockpit for dining and relaxation at anchor. The upper deck provides a more private social zone with panoramic views, while a sun deck offers an elevated area for sunbathing and al fresco meals. Despite her compact dimensions, the generous spaces and luxury amenities deliver the kind of indoor and outdoor living more often found on larger yachts, and a bathing platform opens the stern to the water for swimming and watersports.
Cantiere delle Marche builds each RJ Class 102 to order at its Ancona shipyard, classed for ocean service and specified around the owner’s cruising plans. The 265-tonne steel hull is engineered for extended, self-sufficient voyages, and the compact dimensions keep running costs and crew requirements modest for a yacht of this capability. As the most accessible RJ Class, realised first as Mon Coeur, she offers CdM build quality, Paszkowski design and genuine explorer range in a size a hands-on owner can understand and a small crew can run, making her one of the most elegant propositions in her class.
