SEAMORE 34
ANTONINI NAVI LAYS THE KEEL OF SEAMORE 34
Antonini Navi has celebrated the keel-laying of Seamore 34 – the steel and aluminium semi-custom yacht with a length overall of 33.5 metres – at its facilities overlooking the Gulf of La Spezia. The private ceremony was attended by the owner.
Seamore 34 – the launch is planned for early 2025 with a debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival later in the year – was sold to an Italian owner presented to the Shipyard by the brokerage firm Media Yachts International.
The keel-laying ceremony, which dates back to the Roman period, is always a thrilling and highly symbolic event during which a coin is placed under the keel and included in the hull, where it will remain for the entire life of the vessel as a good omen for the builder, the owner and crew.
Antonini Navi celebrates the start of work on Seamore 34 just weeks after launching the construction of the new 32-metre Explorer Yacht.
Antonini Navi – the shipyard founded in 2020 by the Antonini family, owners of the storied La Spezia-based Gruppo Antonini Spa, in partnership with Aldo Manna – is specialised in the construction of full-custom yachts and naval and military units.
The shipyard is based in the Gulf of La Spezia and forms part of the “Blue Mile”, the city’s famed shipbuilding district that is home to various high-profile brands’ superyacht yards. Antonini Navi has its own technical department with decades of experience in shipbuilding. With over 33 thousand square metres of yards, plus two industrial sheds providing a total 4,200 square metres of covered areas and four “slots” available for yacht construction, the shipyard is also a benchmark for many players in this industry that prefer to contract out their superyacht construction work.
These are the ingredients that enable Antonini Navi to offer a broad range of services, from the construction of custom yachts up to 70 metres in length, to refitting, after-sales services, superyacht berthing and third-party production.
