THIS MONTH: Understanding the sea time verification process, and Jet Ski safety
NAVIGATING SEA SERVICE page 45
Capt. Maurizio Chersin, M/Y Stella di Mare
With a love of the ocean apparently running through
his veins, Capt. Maurizio Chersin seems to have the
best of both worlds — he spends the summer
captaining 30-meter M/Y Stella di Mare and
winters off sailing with his family. While
just a five-year veteran of the superyacht
world, his commercial background came
in handy during the build of the
CBI Navi. For more, turn the
page to read this month’s
New Launch.

foredeck, and 56-square-meter main deck cockpit. Thanks to her 8.6-
meter beam, she can sleep 14 guests in five cabins, including two guest
cabins with twin beds, one guest cabin with four single beds, one VIP
cabin, and an owner’s cabin on the main deck.
“There isn’t really anything I’d change now or wish had been done
differently,” the captain says. “The yacht build was a long process, so
we had time to think and change things before she was delivered. We
don’t have any deliberate separate corridors or design to maintain the
owner’s privacy from the crew. He is a family man and likes having the
crew around. We often eat together.
“The crew are happy with their workspaces,” he adds. The yacht has
a long ocean range and provisioning is not a problem. “We have a cold room
fridge and waste fridge in the lazarette, and very good fuel and
water capacity — everything is designed for long-range cruising.”
And the cruising program is already in place: For now, M/Y Stella di
Mare will cruise the Mediterranean and Caribbean. After that, the
world’s her oyster.
“I grew up on the island of Grado
in the Adriatic
sea, adjacent to
Venice and Trieste.
My father was
a fisherman and I have always loved maritime life. I am not much of a
‘mountain man,’” says Capt. Maurizio Chersin. This yacht master and
marine surveyor started work on marine research and supply vessels and
then, five years ago by chance, he was offered work as a relief captain on the
30-meter explorer M/Y Stella di Mare. One day, the owner said to him, “You
must join the superyacht industry.” Now Capt. Chersin spends summers
working on yachts, and in the winter sails his own boat with his family.
The build project of this long-range explorer vessel began in 2015 at the
Mondomarine shipyard. “When the shipyard went bankrupt, we moved the
yacht to the Viareggio shipyard of CBI Navi in August 2017,” explains the
captain. “We launched in August 2018.” Chersin says managing the bankruptcy
period was sometimes tricky with the lawyers wanting to take control of
everything. “The towage from Savona to Viareggio was a very delicate task but
we had a good relationship with the shipyard when we got there,” he says.
This 39.6-meter M/Y Stella di Mare (or Project CBN45) has an exterior
design by Sergio Cutolo of Hydrotec and interior design by Fossati Design
Bureau. Capt. Chersin was involved in the build from the beginning. “I
worked with the naval architects to create what the owner expected and
with my commercial experience, I oversized everything like the windlass
or the bow thruster — just like a small, seagoing ship,” he says.
Throughout the process, the focus was on a properly seaworthy explorer
vessel: To this end, a gallery runs under the lower deck to allow crew sheltered
access from the crew quarters to the engine room and lazarette. It also allows
for machinery and tank inspection checks, storage for piping, and is home
to refrigerators. The yacht also has 8,000 liters of freshwater capacity and a
fuel capacity of 75,000 liters. “I’m most proud of almost everything! Especially
the technical aspect,” says the captain when we met at MYS 2018. “The owner
gave me the possibility to offer my input and he is happy with the outcome.
He gave me a budget for the bridge and I spent all of it — and the same with the
engine room.” Capt. Chersin says he and his deckhand “were checking all the
time on the sly” on the work being done during the build.
