Admiral

Admiral, a brand of The Italian Sea Group, was founded in 1966. Originating in Italy, the shipyard initially focused on building custom yachts. Over its history, Admiral has constructed a range of vessels, evolving its design and construction methodologies. The company has produced yachts in various sizes, utilizing materials such as aluminum and steel. Admiral has focused on both motor yachts and, in earlier periods, sailing yachts. The shipyard has undergone ownership changes, and its operations are now part of The Italian Sea Group, which acquired the brand in 2011. Under this ownership, Admiral has continued to develop and produce superyachts, emphasizing custom construction and attention to design. The production facilities are located in Marina di Carrara, Italy. Admiral's market positioning within The Italian Sea Group portfolio often involves larger, custom-built motor yachts. The company has collaborated with various designers and naval architects on its projects. Its focus includes both displacement and semi-displacement hull forms, providing various performance and comfort characteristics. Admiral's typical size range for new constructions often extends from approximately 30 meters upward, with several projects exceeding 70 or 80 meters in length. The shipyard's history reflects a progression from smaller custom builds to larger superyachts within the luxury yacht market.
