The Italian Sea Group has laid the keel of the Admiral 70-metre C.616, the latest model in the Admiral fleet.

The Italian Sea Group says the keel laying consolidated its position as a global player in the large yacht segment and highlights the group’s ongoing commercial expansion.

“When building a yacht, the keel-laying ceremony, a long-standing maritime tradition, is a moment of great emotion, both for the shipyard and for the owner company,” says Giovanni Costantino, founder and chief executive of The Italian Sea Group.

The Admiral 70-metre superyacht has been designed and developed by The Italian Sea Group Centro Stile and delivery is planned for 2027.
