Second Admiral Panorama superyacht Silvia hits the water

Admiral, the flagship brand of The Italian Sea Group (TISG), has announced the launch of the second unit from its semi-custom Panorama line, Silvia, from its facilities in Marina di Carrara, Italy. 

The news comes days after the delivery of the first hull from the line, the 50-metre Spribe. Though the yachts share similar features, Silvia stands out from the first with her LOA of 53 metres, alongside her bright blue hull and white superstructure. She is also the first from the line to be equipped with a hybrid propulsion system. 

Construction on Silvia began in 2024, according to BOATPro, following the announcement of her sale by FGI Yacht Group in 2023. Delivery is anticipated for this summer.

Piredda & Partners is responsible for the exterior design of the Panorama line, marking the yard's first collaboration with the Treviso-based studio. The design studio also worked alongside Admiral Centro Stile for the steel and aluminium model, which offers a volume of 499GT across four spacious decks.

Though yet to be revealed, Silvia's interiors were penned by Ramón Alonso, president of RADYCA, who was personally selected by the owner for his "cosmopolitan" design vision and experience across architecture, private residences, aviation and superyachts. According to the yard, Alonso developed a contemporary interior language centred around comfort and bespoke details, developing the spaces in close dialogue with the yacht’s panoramic architecture.

The Panorama design was born with a focus on creating a “natural dialogue” between the interior and exterior by eliminating visual barriers, using high overheads where possible and ensuring plenty of natural light can filter from the outside in. Social spaces on board comprise infinity terraces, panoramic lounges and a large beach club with a sunken pool and fold-down sea terraces.

The Panorama 53 can accommodate up to 13 guests in a six-cabin layout, including an owner’s suite on the main deck with two dressing rooms, two en suite bathrooms and panoramic views from a private balcony.

Five guest cabins are located on the lower deck, easily accessed by a lift which runs through to the sundeck. Here, a dedicated stairway also leads to an observatory deck, designed as a dedicated panoramic viewpoint.

Drawn with the environment in mind, the yacht is powered by an innovative hybrid propulsion system. The two diesel MAN engines have been paired with electric alternators and lithium polymer batteries, enabling her to run in hotel mode for several hours with zero emissions, limiting vibration and noise. The onboard battery pack can power hotel services for approximately eight hours with zero local emissions.

“The launch of the second hull confirms the strength and versatility of this semi-custom platform,” concluded Gianmaria Costantino, chief commercial officer of The Italian Sea Group. “The integration of hybrid propulsion demonstrates the platform’s capacity to evolve, while offering the owner the highest level of personalisation."

BOATPro data indicates the Admiral brand has 14 yachts either under construction or on order.
