Measuring 50 metres in length, with a beam of 8.9 metres and a gross tonnage of 499 GT, the first Panorama 50 is built on a semi-custom platform, featuring a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Designed by Piredda & Partners in collaboration with Admiral Centro Stile, the yacht is defined by a series of distinctive architectural features. Smart Yachts accompanied the process from the initial negotiations through to delivery, ensuring continuity at every stage.

Admiral Panorama 50 offers living spaces that flow naturally through the different moments of life on board, from intimate private areas to welcoming social spaces and generous exterior areas. Arranged across four decks, Panorama 50 accommodates up to 12 guests in seven cabins. The Owner’s Suite is located on the Upper Deck and enjoys direct, exclusive access to the spacious forward exterior area, as well as to a private lounge with an office. The Main Deck is completed by a generous salon together with four guest cabins.

On the Lower Deck, a corridor passes through the engine room to reach the two aft guest cabins; a solution typically found on significantly larger yachts, enabling a more efficient use of the available interior volume.

The guest staircase is conceived as a self-supporting architectural element of considerable technical and aesthetic value, creating an open, visually continuous connection between the decks.

Fold-down bulwarks on the aft section of the Main Deck significantly expand the usable exterior space, transforming the area into a highly versatile environment that can be adapted to the preferences of the Owner and guests, while maintaining a close connection with the sea.

Ahead of her official debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026, the first yacht in Admiral’s new semi-custom Panorama line is ready to embark on her maiden Mediterranean season.

“The delivery of the first Admiral Panorama 50 marks a further evolution of the semi-custom segment,, with this new line, Admiral interprets the expectations of today’s Owners through a yacht that combines an exceptional level of customisation, and the timeless elegance of Italian yacht-building tradition.”

Following her delivery from The Italian Sea Group’s shipyard, the new 24-metre Picchiotti yacht enters her first charter season under the Central Agency of Royal Yacht International.

Monaco, 12 June 2026 – Royal Yacht International, Central Agent for charter of the Picchiotti Gentleman 24M, is pleased to celebrate her delivery from The Italian Sea Group’s shipyard.

The traditional christening marked a meaningful moment in her story, opening the way to her first season on the charter market under the Central Agency of Royal Yacht International.

For more than 450 years, Picchiotti has moved through Italian maritime history with rare continuity. From river navigation and working craft to military ships and contemporary yachts, the brand has always interpreted the Zeitgeist, the spirit and sensibility of each era, translating technical expertise, craftsmanship and cultural awareness into forms of navigation shaped by their time. Today, acquired and carried forward by The Italian Sea Group, Picchiotti continues this journey as a standard-bearer of Made in Italy: a historic name renewed with confidence, measure and distinction, bringing its heritage into the present through a contemporary vision of yachting.

Designed by Luca Dini Design & Architecture, one of the most distinguished names in contemporary yacht design, in collaboration with Picchiotti Centro Stile, the Picchiotti Gentleman 24M gives new form to the codes of classic Italian yachting. Through this project, Luca Dini has reinterpreted elegance with restraint and clarity, shaping a renewed vintage sensibility that feels cultivated, tactile and deeply contemporary. Mahogany details, balanced proportions and a residential approach to life on board recall the grace of another age, while her layout, beach club and open-air areas respond with precision to the expectations of today’s charter clientele.

“With the Picchiotti Gentleman 24M, The Italian Sea Group opens a new passage for one of Italy’s oldest names at sea, Picchiotti carries the spirit of Janus: one gaze turned towards centuries of seafaring knowledge, the other towards those who will define the next codes of yachting. She offers a measured threshold into the Picchiotti world: time on board becomes a first form of belonging, and that first encounter may quietly mature into something deeper and more personal.”

Gianmaria Costantino, Chief Commercial Officer of The Italian Sea Group.

The Picchiotti Gentleman 24M offers the distinction of a historic Italian yacht brand within an agile format, conceived for Mediterranean cruising and for clients seeking privacy, charm and a clear sense of place. Her proportions allow for a highly personal onboard experience, with a contained crew profile that enhances discretion and gives every charter the feeling of a private residence on the water.

“The Picchiotti Gentleman 24M has a rare quality: she feels immediately familiar, elegant and beautifully Mediterranean,” commented Tommaso Chiabra, Chairman of Royal Yacht International. “For Royal Yacht International, acting as Central Agent for charter means presenting a yacht with a genuine story, a strong Italian identity and an authentic, tactile charm. She has substance, warmth and personality; she belongs to a lineage of yachts conceived for private life at sea, while speaking naturally to the expectations of contemporary charter clients. We are proud to accompany her into her next chapter.”

Marina di Carrara, June 03, 2026 – The Italian Sea Group achieved a triple victory at the 17th edition of The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2026, promoted by Design et Al, to celebrate global excellence in style and architecture in the Yachting, Private Aviation, and Hospitality sectors.

The ceremony took place on May 29th in the evocative setting of the Scuola Grande della Misericordia in Venice, an exceptional location that hosted leading figures in international design.

In this context, The Italian Sea Group received three prestigious awards:

• M/Y ADMIRAL | GIORGIO ARMANI: winner of the Master Cabin Award for the owner’s suite with its extraordinary stylistic coherence, in which the aesthetic language of Giorgio Armani meets the design and construction culture of Admiral;

• M/Y ADMIRAL RAJA²: Awarded in the Best Motor Yacht Over 40 Meters category, developed and coordinated by Admiral Centro Stile, the project expresses the shipyard’s creative vision, expertise, and full construction capability;

• S/Y PERINI NAVI KATANA: undisputed winner in the Best Sailing Yacht category, confirming Perini Navi’s prestige in the large sailing yacht segment.

“The awards received in such a high-profile international context highlight the true essence of The Italian Sea Group: a group capable of mastering diverse aesthetics, from contemporary motor yachts to signature sailing yachts, bringing them together under the same discipline of design, materials, and execution.”

Gianmaria Costantino, Chief Commercial Officer of The Italian Sea Group.

M/Y ADMIRAL | GIORGIO ARMANI, M/Y ADMIRAL RAJA², and S/Y PERINI NAVI KATANA express three distinct registers of the same construction culture: the rarefied and iconic elegance of the owner’s suite designed by Giorgio Armani; the sculptural and contemporary strength of a project entirely developed by Admiral Centro Stile; and the sailing nobility of Perini Navi, where tradition and technology find an extraordinary synthesis. This plurality of codes represents the Group’s distinctive feature: the ability to create yachts profoundly different in vocation, architecture, and aesthetic sensibility.

Venice, May 4, 2026 – The Italian Sea Group announces that Perini Navi’s SY Katana has won the Judges’ Special Awards at the World Superyacht Awards, organized by Boat International on May 2.

Set within the Arsenale of Venice, a symbol of Italian shipbuilding tradition, an historic crossroads between East and West, and a unique synthesis of beauty, SY Katana confirms her status as a benchmark in the world of sailing yachts.
A refined synthesis of advanced engineering and contemporary design language, in continuity with the Perini Navi heritage, the 60-metre ketch stands out for her taut and elegant exterior proportions. Her white hull recalls the brand’s earliest sailing yachts, reaffirming its identity.
This recognition follows the “Sailing Yacht – Best Interior” award received last February at the Kitzbühel Superyacht Design Festival, further confirming the design excellence and meticulous execution of the interiors by Rémi Tessier. Brushed cedar establishes a consistent material foundation, while teak, finished naturally, conveys a calibrated tactile quality, with surfaces offering both perceptual softness and visual depth.

The interiors are developed around a principle of material continuity and proportional control. Brushed cedar and teak run throughout the yacht, creating visual and tactile coherence between spaces, while leather finishes define areas of contact. Sliding doors in frosted glass with a metallic weave, together with palladium leaf ceilings featuring wooden inserts, modulate light and enhance a sense of depth and layering.
Lightweight structures, metal handrails, and floating steps engage in dialogue with the wood essences, while painted aluminum frames and details introduce a contemporary accent, maintaining an overall balance between materiality, light, and proportion.

“The recognition of SY Katana fits naturally within a design journey distinguished by coherence and quality. In a complex context, high-value material assets demonstrate enduring strength over time, reflecting a culture in which art, savoir-faire, and craftsmanship translate into complete and recognizable forms, capable of leaving a lasting impression and memory,”

Gianmaria Costantino, CCO of The Italian Sea Group.

Marina di Carrara, February 2nd, 2026 — Perini Navi S/Y Katana has received her first international recognition at the Superyacht Design Festival, organized by Boat International, just a few months after her official debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025. The jury awarded Best Interior – Sailing Yacht for the quality of the interiors and for the coherence with which the project interprets the onboard experience.

The interiors of S/Y Katana, designed by Rémi Tessier, are created on bespoke craftsmanship, precise control of proportions, and spatial endurance. The material language, manufactured around brushed cedar and teak, runs throughout the yacht, defining surfaces, wall coverings, and furnishings, complemented by leather paneling and palladium leaf ceilings. Natural light plays a structural role, filtering through large glazed surfaces and skylights, while indirect lighting enhances lines and volumes.

The main staircase is a central feature of the yacht, conceived as the spatial and distributive core of the interiors. Light structures, metal handrails, and floating steps are paired with fine wood finishes, while painted aluminum frames and details introduce a contemporary accent. The main saloon unfolds as a continuous and enveloping space, articulated by curved seating, integrated furnishings, and soft geometries. Leather upholstery, sliding satin-glass doors with a metallic mesh, and the palladium leaf ceiling enriched with wooden inserts contribute to a balanced and refined atmosphere.

The cabins, starting with the owner’s suite, express fluidity and a sense of openness through essential, integrated furnishings and enveloping finishes. Perimeter lighting accompanies moments of rest, and highlights the quality of the materials, creating environments conceived for absolute comfort.

The owner’s and VIP bathrooms complete the narrative with palladium leaf ceilings, walnut vanity tops, and ivory onyx shower cladding. Outdoors, teak furnishings with stainless-steel details and a sunbathing area with a teak-clad Jacuzzi create a seamless continuity between interior and exterior spaces.

“The recognition received at the Superyacht Design Festival highlights S/Y Katana’s ability to integrate interior design, naval architecture, and technology.” comments Gianmaria Costantino, Chief Commercial Officer of The Italian Sea Group. “Every design choice stems from the experience of sailing and from a rigorous approach to space, materials, and proportions. The project restores centrality to the relationship with the sea, interpreted with discipline and absolute sensitivity.”

A Refined Entry into the Admiral Universe

The Italian Sea Group announces the start of outfitting operations on Hull No. 1 of the new Admiral A-40, a project that represents a sophisticated entry point into Admiral’s world of high-end aluminium superyachts.
Although compact at forty metres, the A-40 has been conceived to carry the presence, composure and architectural clarity typical of Admiral’s larger vessels.

Developed in collaboration with The A Group and the Admiral Centro Stile, the A-40 features sculpted geometry, layered deck architecture and expansive glazing. This visual language echoes the brand’s 50- to 70-metre fleet, giving the yacht a sense of amplitude and stance rarely achieved in this size segment.

Every deck extends into wide exterior lounges, culminating in an elegant beach area close to the sea. This layout, seldom found on a 40-metre yacht, reflects Admiral’s approach to purposeful comfort and spatial balance. Crafted in Aluminium for Lightness and Silence

Entirely built in aluminium, the A-40 embodies Admiral’s principles of structural lightness, quiet cruising and architectural precision. The yacht’s clean lines and poised agility underline a design philosophy that privileges proportion, purity and equilibrium over mere dimensions

Marina di Carrara, December 2nd 2025 – Admiral Yachts (a brand of The Italian Sea Group) launches the first hull of the semi-custom Panorama 50 line at its headquarters in Marina di Carrara.

The steel hull and aluminum superstructure express the solidity and construction rigor that define Admiral’s philosophy and heritage.

Measuring 50 meters in length, with a beam of 8.9 meters and a gross tonnage of 499 GT, the yacht reveals her unique elegance. Her smooth, continuous profile suggests a natural balance between strength and lightness, while the extensive glass surfaces create a seamless dialogue between interiors and exteriors, enhancing transparency and the contemporary spirit of authentic Italian design.

The overall exterior and interior design were curated by Piredda & Partners, who interpreted the Panorama 50 with a contemporary and striking approach, in harmony with her naval architecture and the dynamic character of her profile. Behind her balanced and elegant lines lies high-level engineering: two CAT ACERT C32 engines and 118 eKW generators ensure a top speed of approximately 15 knots, delivering efficiency and comfort at the highest quality standards.

The innovative layout of the Panorama 50 has been conceived to offer an intelligent distribution of space and a truly unparalleled onboard experience. The yacht features 7 cabins, a rare configuration for yachts in this category, providing exceptional comfort for both owner and guests. The private suite on the upper deck, characterized by sweeping 180-degree windows, offers the owner a breathtaking panoramic view. In front of the suite extends a private deck designed as a true owner’s terrace overlooking the sea, a space dedicated to absolute privacy and relaxation.

The guest cabins, located on the main deck, reflect a distinctive design choice that ensures superior comfort for guests. The beach area is conceived as a wellness oasis facing directly onto the sea: the pool with transparent walls takes center stage, while folding balconies expand the space and create a platform at water level. The result is an atmosphere of pure, understated luxury, shaped by a sense of style and the pursuit of harmony.

The interiors stand out for their essential, contemporary elegance, defined by a palette of warm tones ranging from sandy beige to honey wood. Wood finishes, characterized by paneling and slatted ceilings, give the spaces an authentic charm and a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere.

The interiors embody two distinct souls, two different stylistic interpretations.

The first, created by Admiral Centro Stile, emphasizes the dialogue between light and proportion through clean lines and natural materials. The second, conceived by Piredda & Partners, celebrates the expressive nature of design through material contrasts, sculptural accents, and rich textures that turn every space into a gallery of forms and perceptions.

“With the 50m M/Y Admiral Panorama, a new line is born, poised to grow and strengthen over time” comments Gianmaria Costantino, Chief Commercial Officer of The Italian Sea Group. “Thisyacht combines aesthetic balance, engineering solidity, and contemporary design, where innovation elevates the onboard experience.”
