The first 54-meter megayacht by AMY, the joint venture founded in October 2005 by Cantieri Navali Lavagna and T.Mariotti/Genova, will be launched next July. A grand party will celebrate this event, an important achievement for AMY.

Designed by Luca Dini and planned by AMY, the Admiral flagship enters the international stage as a truly unique vessel. Since the very first stages of design and construction of its steel hull and light alloy superstructure new construction criteria, typical in ship construction yet innovative in yacht building, have been adopted: the results are excellent.

The black hull and sleek silhouette of this stately vessel and the care put in the exterior lighting immediately convey an idea of the owner’s strong personality, showing a clear choice of style.

The yacht spreads over 4 decks and is conceived to welcome 10 guests (5 cabins) and up to 12 crew members. The stern is arranged to offer a spectacular “balcony on the sea” and the garage is outfitted with a sofa and a table turning into a true veranda when the platform opens while the tender and jet skis are stored in a side-accessed service garage.

On either side of the main deck, where the hall and the master’s cabin are located, hydraulic doors lower, becoming balconies over the water. One of them, located at hall’s level, links up with a staircase providing access to guests. Other two terraces are situated in the master cabin creating two private areas that allow the closest and most enjoyable contact with nature. The sundeck is a spacious relaxing area complete with a Jacuzzi and a sushi bar while the upper deck has a gym space as well as an ample dinner salon that can easily welcome up to 30 guests.

Particular attention has been paid to the comfort of guests on board, noise and vibration reduction standards are stringent. Two Caterpillar 3516B engines power the vessel allowing a cruising speed of 17,5 knots while maximum range is in the region of 5,000 nautical miles.

The ship has obtained both the ABS and RINA certification and, perhaps most noticeably, the Rina Green Star that makes it compliant with the strictest environmental regulations allowing maximum freedom of navigation. It also obtained the brand new “RINA Security” (first yacht to achieve such result), assuring maximum safety of guests onboard.

The Admiral 54 will be on display at the next Monaco Yacht Show (24-27 September 2008)
