Antonini Navi has laid the keel on its fully custom, 32-metre explorer yacht in a private ceremony in La Spezia. Named Hanaa, the yacht was commissioned by a "seasoned owner" with delivery scheduled for 2025. The structural steelwork will be completed by the end of June 2024 and the hull will be joined to the deck in July.
Hydro Tec is responsible for the yacht's exterior, naval architecture and layout while her interiors will be styled by Milanese studio Hot Lab, with the yacht's fitting-out commencing in August.
The owner has requested an "attractive and modern" design that encompasses all the desirable attributes of an explorer vessel – namely comfort, long range and seaworthiness. While full details are yet to be disclosed, Hot Lab's Enrico Lumini confirmed that, per the owner's request, the interiors are "fresh, contemporary and organic", with a focus on bright, spacious living areas.
"Three years ago Antonini Group CEO Simone Antonini and I began a complex, difficult and ambitious business venture: the creation of a company that could offer a real and reliable alternative in the industry from the ground up and become, in the space of a few short years, a valid choice among custom yacht builders," said Antonini Navi sales director Aldo Manna. "We are convinced that it is the credibility and technical competence of our people that makes the difference. And, because we are a determined and professional team, we are also convinced that the market will reward us again, and soon.”
In the next few days, Antonini Navi will be staging another keel-laying ceremony, this time for the Seamore 33 which was sold to an Italian client.
