New Launch: AMY 54-meter "Sea Force One"

Admiral Mariotti Yachts launches 54-meter "Sea Force One"

July 17, 2008: Admiral Mariotti Yachts: On 17th July last, a celebration for the delivery to the shipowner sanctioned the official launch of the Admiral 54, the first 54 meter mega yacht designed by AMY, the joint venture between CNL and T.Mariotti of Genoa shipyards founded in October 2005 for the construction of displacement mega yachts under Admiral brand. The new megayacht carries the name "Sea Force One".

The M/Y SEA FORCE ONE, designed by Luca Dini Design is presented on the international scene as a really unique ship. The hull is distinguished immediately by its color, shiny black, the silhouette of the ship is imposing but sinuous thanks to the lateral rounding off of the silver gray superstructure, the fiber optic illumination in the saloons to strip lighting under the keel which give it a unique night visibility have been carefully designed.

The strong personality of the shipowner is evident in every aspect. Designed to accommodate 10 passengers in 5 cabins and up to 12 crew members, the yacht reaches 54 meters in length, 10.50 meters in width and expands over four decks.

The stern is organized in such a way that when the deck is open it becomes a real terrace over the sea. Tenders and water jets here reside in a side-accessed garage. The main deck − where the hall and owner’s cabin are located − is decorated with doors equipped with platforms with hydraulic opening which lower down to create real balconies. One is at the level of the main hall and thanks to a royal staircase that connects it to the water, it becomes an access way for guests.

The owner’s cabin has two, which create exclusive spaces right onto the sea to fully enjoy contact with nature. The sundeck is a huge relax area with Jacuzzi and bar, whereas the upper deck hosts a wide dining room that can accommodate up to 30 people and a gym. Particular attention has been paid to the comfort of guests thanks to stringent standards for soundproofing and noise reduction. Two Caterpillar 3516B engines power the Admiral 54, reaching 17.5 knots and achieving around 5,000 nautical miles at economical speed.

The yacht has obtained both the ABS and RINA certification. Particularly, the Rina GREEN STAR, which assure compliance with the strictest regulations in terms of environmental protection while in no way compromising the freedom of navigation and the new Rina SECURE YACHT. The Admiral 54 is the first yacht to obtain this very new certification which assures safety on board through monitoring of areas on board and all around the yacht so as to have maximum security, privacy for guests and inaccessibility. The Admiral 54 will be presented for the first time at the next Monaco Boat Show (24-27 September 2008).

According to Vice President of AMY, Marco Bisagno, another 54-meter megayacht was recently sold. "In less than three years from its beginning, AMY today celebrates the delivery of its first order, while a 54 meter sister ship recently purchased by a Middle-eastern shipowner is at present under construction with delivery in 2010."
