The Italian Sea Group's Admiral brand delivered a 78-metre custom yacht in July 2025 with Sinot design, diesel-electric machinery and extensive guest facilities.

The Italian Sea Group announced delivery of a 78-metre Admiral custom yacht on 18 July 2025, placing the project among the larger vessels in the brand's portfolio. Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design was credited for both the interior and exterior, while the vessel's profile used a two-tone metallic colour scheme and a relatively low three-deck arrangement.

The owner's brief brought together large-yacht hospitality spaces with technical features intended for flexible cruising. The shipyard listed a six-metre swimming pool, spa, gym, diving area and touch-and-go helicopter landing area. Broad windows around the bridge saloon were designed to reinforce views and daylight within the guest accommodation.

The propulsion plant uses five variable-speed generators supplying two two-megawatt azimuthing pods, a diesel-electric configuration the yard rated for a maximum speed of 17 knots. The battery system is intended to help manage short power peaks and permit quieter operations without running additional generators. These specifications were provided in the delivery announcement.

The project shows how a large custom motor yacht can prioritise quiet manoeuvring and guest comfort alongside an extensive onboard amenities programme. Delivery in 2025 is the confirmed event; the announcement does not by itself establish present location, charter availability or ownership.
