Admiral, the flagship brand of The Italian Sea Group (TISG), has offered a first glimpse inside its 55-metre motor yacht Silver Star ahead of her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this year.
The second hull in Admiral's S-Force Series, the yacht's interior has been designed by Giorgio Armani and his team to create an "absolutely unique" interior, according to TISG founder and CEO, Giovanni Costantino.
The contract for the vessel was initially signed in 2021 by Jean-Claude Carme of TWW Yachts, but the owner chose to upgrade to a larger size midway through construction. Silver Star is now listed for sale and is asking €34,500,000.
Silver Star is the sistership of the 55-metre Geco launched in 2020. Both yachts share the same focus on al fresco living, with a large open beach club at the stern complete with a hydraulic staircase that extends below sea level and glass-fronted gunwales that protect from the elements. Silver Star also has a sundeck with a Jacuzzi and a touch-and-go helipad on the upper deck forward, which can also be used for relaxing and soaking up the sun.
The steel and aluminium vessel has a six-cabin layout comprising an owner's suite, VIP cabin and four guest cabins, with further accommodation for 11 crew members.
TISG has described the interior of Silver Star as "very elegant and never excessive". The newly released imagery reveals the use of refined materials throughout, including ivory onyx, cornflower blue marble, and Venetian printed silk, alongside touches of metal and champagne-coloured tamo wood.
In a statement from TISG, the Group confirmed that RINA has also given the yacht Green Plus certification, "an additional voluntary notation issued by RINA based on environmental performance".
"This superyacht is the further result of the exciting partnership with Giorgio Armani of which I am extremely proud and is the confirmation of our ability to measure ourselves in unique projects with brands of excellence, "Made in Italy," with which we share the same values," said Costantino. "Giorgio Armani is synonymous with timeless elegance and refinement, and his stylistic vision contributes to further enhance our aesthetic sensibility and confirm our business model oriented to the customisation of every detail."
