The company’s heritage, however, dates back to 1962, when their father, Aldo Ceccarelli acquired the Cantieri Navali Liguri shipyard in Liguria. That decision marked the beginning of the family’s long-standing involvement in the Italian yacht building industry and, in particular, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/570" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Admiral (Company)">Admiral</a> brand that dates back to the early 1980s.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/384413/image/large-47b65e80d1aa0bb730b42d2a096c87e6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/384413"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/384419/image/large-eabb97040f5e2776891a7e3502d86cda.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/384419">The new yacht has been developed in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/586" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Francesco Paszkowski (Company)">Francesco Paszkowski Design</a>, with interiors by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6365" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Margherita Casprini (Company)">Margherita Casprini</a> and exterior styling created in a first-time partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4602" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Martinez Studio (Company)">Sebastian Martinez</a>.
