“We literally started from a drawing made on a restaurant’s table,” Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and Sales Director at CdM recalls. “M/Y Gatto is the result of a great teamwork,” he says “and the project kept on growing on a steady pace thanks to the commitment and experience of the Owner Representative, the fast responses given by Hydro Tec in terms of design, and the work of the whole CdM team. The result is simply unique: there is nothing similar on the market, 250 GT, fully custom, engineered and built in Acciaio!” (The name Acciaio means Steel in English).
