Overview
UPTIGHT, the 2022 Cantiere delle Marche Darwin 106, enters the market for the first time & represents the premier explorer yacht for sale in the world in this segment of the market. UPTIGHT is a custom Darwin 106 that is a modified version of the popular Darwin 102 with the addition of a cockpit back aft that not only is outfitted for world class fishing, but also serves as excellent access to the water, lounge area, additional storage and incorporates an extended lazarrette area on the interior.
UPTIGHT comfortably sleeps 13 guests in 6 cabins including a private owners deck on the upper level with 5 additional guest cabins located on the lower deck including a second master cabin great. Fantastic flexible layout great for both private or charter use.
UPTIGHT has an open floor plan on the main deck with the main salon featuring a lounge area, formal dining and a galley that can either be isolated or opened up to the salon complete with bar counter great for entertaining. Substantial crew accommodations for 6 located forward on the main deck complete with crew mess.
The fit & finish of the interior decor is worth noting. From the joinery work, the marriage of two different styles of wood found throughout the decor, custom stainless steel work, subtle touches like the custom leather headboards found in each cabin, the backlit feature wall that runs the length of the central staircase, the stone work in the galley, and the functionality of the layout. Storage is in abundance and not just dry storage, but cold storage (refrigeration & freezer) which allows for extensive provisioning so the owner can properly utilize the trans-ocean range of UPTIGHT. Every little detail was well thought out and purposely designed.
This attention to detail continues to the exterior with her Stars & Stripes blue hull, proper propane BBQ on the sundeck, gorgeous mosaic tiled jacuzzi, and my favorite feature the cockpit. Not only can UPTIGHT serve as a mother-ship for a global fishing fleet, but also a stand alone explorer. The cockpit has aft facing seating, live bait wells, cold storage for bait, and allows the guests & crew easy access to the water for watersports toys, docking and is the main place to gather when docked or at anchor. Custom sunshades are available for each deck assuring shade even on the sunniest days.
Bridge deck has all the navigation equipment one would expect to find on a 50m vessel & features an office & sitting space great for crew or guests.
UPTIGHT features a full displacement steel hull complete with polar belt as she was constructed with the original intent of transiting the North West Passage. Trans-ocean range, additional refrigeration & freezer cold stores, commercial grade galley, redundant systems, spare parts, proper crew accommodation & navigation package make her a true global explorer which is turn key with the ability to depart on a global passage tomorrow.
