Builder Admiral

Company history

The world-famous Admiral brand started in the middle of the last century. At this time Cantieri Navali Lavagna entered the market and built wooden boats under the brands President and Arcobaleno Super. The Admiral range only appeared in 1966 and became well known with the first 30 metre pleasure yacht launched in the 1970s.

This boat is considered an iconic boat of its kind, it has become one of the largest models built of wood.

She has also influenced the growing popularity of large yachts in the private sector. Subsequently, Admiral Shipyard has continued its work in this direction and has moved to more modern steel and aluminium, which has helped to implement more complex projects.

In 2011, the company changed owners and became part of the Italian Sea Group, which also includes Frank Muller Yachts, Tecnomar and Nuovi Cantieri Aouania.

Status .

Despite the financial crisis in the late 2000s, the company was able to maintain its position and became one of the few shipyards to maintain a stable financial position.

As it was many years ago, the shipyard produces semi-custom fast yachts and vessels for long trips of 23 to 90 meters. The company stands out for its rich portfolio, which includes 24 lines with more than 50 models. These include megayachts with displacement and semi-displacement hulls, steel and aluminium boats, trawlers and yachts like Raised Pilothouse.

Since 2014 it has been added to the range of sailing superyachts. They were created by the famous designer Philippe Briand.

Every model that came down from the slipway under the Admiral brand can be rightly called a work of art. The shipyard invites only famous studios such as Vripack, Unielle' Yacht Design, Dobroserdov Design and others to work on projects.
