Construction is progressing on Antonini Navi's fully custom, 32-metre explorer yacht Hanaa, with the structural steelwork – including the assembly of the bow – taking place at the shipyard's facilities in La Spezia, Italy. The yacht was commissioned by a "seasoned owner" with delivery scheduled for 2025.
Hydro Tec is responsible for the yacht's exterior, naval architecture and layout while her interiors will be styled by Milanese studio Hot Lab.
The owner has requested an "attractive and modern" design that encompasses all the desirable attributes of an explorer vessel – namely comfort, long range and seaworthiness. While full details are yet to be disclosed, Hot Lab's Enrico Lumini confirmed that, per the owner's request, the interiors are "fresh, contemporary and organic", with a focus on bright, spacious living areas.
"Three years ago Antonini Group CEO Simone Antonini and I began a complex, difficult and ambitious business venture: the creation of a company that could offer a real and reliable alternative in the industry from the ground up and become, in the space of a few short years, a valid choice among custom yacht builders," said Antonini Navi sales director Aldo Manna.
He continued: "We are convinced that it is the credibility and technical competence of our people that makes the difference. And, because we are a determined and professional team, we are also convinced that the market will reward us again, and soon."
This follows the announcement that construction had begun on the Seamore 34, a 33.5-metre yacht commissioned by an experienced Italian sailor and avid charterer.
