Antonini Navi has launched its first superyacht, the Seamore 34.
The La Spezia-based group is making its debut in the luxury superyacht sector; a second vessel is about to be launched and a third is under construction.
On March 28, the Seamore 34 took to the waters of La Spezia, marking Antonini Navi's official debut in the full-custom superyacht segment. A 34-meter steel crossover with a gross tonnage of less than 300 GT, the vessel represents the shipyard's first new construction and epitomizes the Group's historic expertise—in operation since 1943—in a highly concrete aesthetic. The brand's positioning reflects a sober philosophy, replacing conventional luxury with an identity grounded in industrial and technological prowess.
Antonini Navi's strategy, focused on intrinsic quality and structural robustness, was immediately confirmed by the trust of the first owner. Aldo Manna, founding partner with Simone Antonini, explained to SUPER YACHT 24 how the preference of an Italian client validates the value of this approach: "The choice was driven by the consistency of our approach; the owner was looking for substance beyond appearance." This shared vision allowed the development, approximately 28 months after the contract was signed, of a project born from listening to the owner's family's needs, oriented towards generous outdoor spaces and a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces.
A distinctive element of the shipyard's approach lies in the technical management of the post-launch phase. The superyacht's technical launch will be followed by approximately two and a half months of rigorous sea trials, a procedure aimed at safeguarding the final product's quality. As Manna emphasizes, the decision to launch well in advance of delivery allows for detailed checks to be carried out without compromising the interior fittings, which are only completed after structural testing. While in production yachts, the launch often coincides with delivery, Manna continues, in Antonini Navi's custom world, each component is individually tested to ensure maximum reliability, both for private use and charter.
In terms of design, the Seamore 34's expanded living space bucks the current trend of tall yachts, which risk appearing isolated from the marine environment. In this sense, the elimination of a sundeck was instrumental in maintaining a sleek, streamlined profile. The shipyard chose to maximize width, offering a generous 7,60-meter beam that provides such expansive exterior spaces that an upper deck is superfluous. This keeps the visual center of gravity low to the water, enhancing the overall harmony of the lines. Livability is ensured by over 150 square meters on the main deck and approximately 160 square meters on the upper deck, with interiors designed by Milan-based studio Hot Lab that balance classic and contemporary elements.
The project's flexibility is demonstrated by the reconfiguration of the fourth cabin, transformed at the owner's request into a spa area with a sauna and gym. This modification was designed to be fully reversible in about a week's work, thanks to the systems and furniture already integrated during construction.
In preparation for its debut at the 2026 boat shows, the Antonini Navi shipyard has a second unit close to launch and a third already under construction.
