This ends an excellent year for Antonini Navi, the shipyard specialising in the construction of superyachts and founded in 2019 by the owners of the storied Gruppo Antonini Spa, a robust industrial player operating in the oil & gas industry, with turnover in excess of 100 million euros.
Of the five units being built, three – including this latest one – have already been delivered, while the final two are nearing completion: hull metal insulated and ready for filler application, compartments and engine room implemented, bulkhead and deck insulation completed.
Yachts’ production and refit operations
Refit work also continues in parallel and at a brisk pace: since 2019, seven routine and special maintenance projects have already been completed on yachts between 18 and 50 metres, while three are currently in progress.
Work is always performed to the highest quality standards, thanks to the installation of extremely reliable, latest-generation technology systems. With extensive experience in refit operations, Gruppo Antonini has worked on some important historic vessels over the years, including the Italian Navy’s famous Amerigo Vespucci training ship.
More about Antonini shipyard
With its strategic hub in the Gulf of La Spezia – 33 thousand square metres of yards and two industrial sheds totalling 4,200 m2 – the shipyard is a benchmark for many players in this industry that prefer to contract out their construction work.
The company draws on the experience of over 250 people and boasts a wealth of technical know-how and expertise in engineering, design, construction, assembly and maintenance that it is hard to find in other shipbuilders and represents one of its key points of strength.
Antonini Navi has quickly become a go-to shipyard in the superyacht industry, offering a broad range of diversified solutions.
In addition to refit projects and boat construction for third parties, Antonini Navi also specialises in the production of full custom superyachts, based either on plans drawn up by a designer hired by the owner or on one of the shipyard’s own innovative proposals.
They include the range of UP40 superyachts, based on an innovative 40-metre platform that can be used to create three different types of superyacht: Crossover, Island and Explorer. All designed by Fulvio De Simoni, the version currently under construction is the UP40 Crossover.
