55m metallic Admiral superyacht Raja² launched

Admiral, a brand of The Italian Sea Group, has announced the launch of the 55-metre superyacht Raja². The launch ceremony took place at the yard's Marina di Carrara headquarters in the presence of the owner.

Previously known as Project 600, Raja² belongs to the yard's S-Force 55 series and is the sistership to Geco, which was delivered in 2020. Exterior and interior lines were penned in-house, with Raja²'s "distinctly sporty" exterior profile characterised by a plumb bow, metallic paint and high bulwarks on the aft deck, sheltering the beach club.

She is scheduled for delivery this year and will be available for charter with IYC soon after.

Accommodation is for up to 12 guests across a six-cabin layout, including an owner's suite located on the main deck. The suite comes with a folding balcony for maximum privacy without compromising on ocean views.

Interior imagery is undisclosed, although earlier renderings reveal a neutral palette with pops of colour and marble panelling found throughout the living spaces. The main saloon is particularly eclectic, featuring a plum chaise lounge and a cascading chandelier feature over the formal dining room.

On the lower deck, guests will find the VIP suite, two double suites and two twin cabins. There are further quarters for 12 crew.

The sundeck is a major social hub, fitted with sunloungers, sofa seating and a glass-walled swimming pool which lends the exterior profile extra visual interest. For those seeking adventure, she also has a variety of water toys to choose from and is designed with a touch-and-go helipad, gym and beach club with easy water access.

Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, the motor yacht can reach a cruising speed of 16.5 knots and a top speed of 18 knots. 

According to BOATPro, Raja² is one of two S-Force 55 units currently in build. The yard has also begun construction on the first unit in its Admiral Quaranta series following the model's sale in May 2024.
