Admiral Impero 37 – Nono


Press RELEASE:

Admiral, a brand of The Italian Sea Group, has concluded a very successful 2015 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, where it exhibited the 37m (120 ft) M/Y NONO, winner of the 2015 World Super Yacht Award as best “Semi-displacement or Planing Two-deck Motor Yacht of 30m to 37.99m”.

Attendance at the show was strong, and as in the past, Thursday and Friday brought in many serious buyers and representing brokers from the Americas and beyond. With her unique exterior styling, distinctive colour schemes, and contemporary but elegant interior décor, NONO seemed to resonate well with American buyers looking for a refreshing take on the Raised-Pilothouse category. Additionally, with her all-aluminium construction, semi-displacement hull form, shallow draft, and extensive long-range capability, many prospective owners found the vessel well-outfitted for their Caribbean cruising requirements.

FLIBS was also the perfect venue to introduce another new and important project for Admiral: the “Vestal” series designed by renowned American firm ‘Setzer Yacht Architects’. Led by Ward Setzer – arguably the most acclaimed large-yacht designer in the United States – the Setzer team has produced dozens of award-winning projects constructed at premier shipyard in the United States and around the world.

Partnership with Setzer for the Vestal Series was thus a logical pairing for Admiral, which will aim to significantly increase its U.S. and Latin American presence through the new series introduction, which has been developed to address American taste preferences and technical requirements while also offering an “Italian Touch.”

The Vestal series includes three models of 42m (137 ft), 50m (164 ft) and 62m (203 ft); the 42m model is a semi-displacement yacht to be built in aluminium while the other two are full-displacement yachts with steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Imagery and specifications for all three models have now been made available, as well as a replica scale model of the Vestal 5000 that was publically unveiled by Group CEO Giuseppe Taranto and the Vice Chairman and Sales Director Francesco Carbone during a press conference at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show. Many journalists from the most prestigious luxury and yachting magazines attended the event;

Speaking on the inspiration behind the series, Ward Setzer, who was also present during the conference, stated: “We wanted to make sure every line drawn served a clear, direct purpose. Each style line or chamfer takes on a life of its own and affects many people later on when it must be cut, welded, faired, and painted during construction, then scrubbed, polished, and shammed each week by crew members. Assigning lines prudently is part of our duty of care as designers.”

As a further sign of the Admiral commitment to the American Market, it was also made official to visitors and brokers that The Italian Sea Group will be opening a corporate office in Fort Lauderdale in January 2016.

Francesco Carbone, Vice Chairman & Sales Director of the Group, said: “The American market is getting more and more important for our Group. The business model is changing and clients, brokers and captains are all looking for more service. Time is of the essence and the best way to ensure lasting results is with a direct, organized approach. Having an office in US is crucial”.

It is not clear if any of these four super yachts will be available for private yacht charter holidays or corporate events at this moment in time.
