72m Giorgio Armani-designed Admiral superyacht sold off-market

The first 72-metre Giorgio Armani-designed Admiral superyacht, the Admiral Armani 72m, has been sold in an off-market deal and renamed No Rush. Michel Chryssicopoulos of IYC represented the seller and the shipyard, while Royal Yacht International introduced the buyer.

Following her sale, the brokerage firms have offered a first look inside the new build, which was launched in May this year and made her official world debut at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show. 

The custom, full-displacement, steel and aluminium project is the first of two designed by the late Giorgio Armani in partnership with Centro Stile of The Italian Sea Group (TISG). A satin gold profile characterises the striking build, decorated with "geometric volumes" alternating with "curved surfaces", extensive floor-to-ceiling windows and a "suspended terrace" upper deck design. Armani/Casa and Giorgio Armani himself are responsible for the interiors, which favour clean lines and a soft and minimalist palette, complemented by refined materials and hand-crafted finishes.

A seven-cabin layout offers accommodation for up to 14 guests on board, comprising an owner's cabin on a private owner's deck and one full-beam VIP cabin and four cabins (which can operate as either twins or doubles thanks to handy sliding beds), all located on the main deck. 

The owner’s deck is dubbed a "completely private retreat". A full-beam suite is complete with a king-sized bed, a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower. 

To aft, a private lounge and bar area offers further room for relaxation, fitted with a seven-seater sofa which can transform the area into a private cinema if desired, while sliding glass doors lead to a 14-seater dining table, a bar, sun loungers and a glass-bottomed infinity pool. Forward, an outdoor lounge features a sunpad and a firepit.

The guest cabins are equally as lavish, with en suites decorated in Azul Macaubas and Silk Georgette quartzites or softer tones of Taj Mahal quartzite. The VIP suite is located forward and features its own lounge with a sofa bed and a Velvet Onyx-clad en suite, while also able to split into two separate cabins. Armani/Roca accessories in greige throughout the accommodation have been chosen to match the yacht's champagne theme.

Living areas on board No Rush are standout. The main saloon is the convivial area onboard and a true showcase of Armani's attention to design details. An ivory onyx floor is centred by a custom Armani Casa carpet, topped by sofas crafted from Canaletto walnut and coffee tables finished in platinum leaf. Forward of the relaxed space, a dining table bordered with Armani Casa "Lea" chairs seats up to 14 guests. 

A standout detail is the decorative glass curtains, which were created from laminated glass with a metal-mesh core and framed in champagne aluminium by three Italian specialists. An otherwise hidden television screen also lowers from the ceiling.

Other guest areas onboard No Rush follow suit, defined by "calm palettes and natural light", according to the brokers. 

Dedicated spaces include a games area and a full wellness centre on the lower deck with a gym, a sauna, treatment rooms finished in gold-leaf and liquid-metal, and an ivory onyx steam shower. Meanwhile, meeting rooms have been "discreetly integrated" for private or business use. 

Outside, the sundeck is a highlight, fitted with a bar, a Jacuzzi, a ceiling-hidden television and an aft sunpad, plus a forward lounge arranged around a firepit. An open-air cinema space doubles as a party zone, complete with a karaoke mode and disco lighting. 

The bridge deck is host to a large C-shaped sofa, a bar, and entertainment features, while the main deck offers further entertaining space with an 11-seat sofa and two chaise longues finished in Canaletto walnut and gold-champagne accents. A helipad also offers easy access on board.

Power is from twin Caterpillar engines, offering a 17-knot top speed, a 14-knot cruising speed and a range of 6,000 nautical miles at 11 knots. Key specs include a 13.2-metre beam, a 3.4-metre draught and a volume of 2,104GT.

No Rush has an estimated replacement value of €155,000,000 by the shipyard.

BOAT International hosted an exclusive Owners’ Club cocktail reception on board No Rush during her debut in Monaco.
