In a historic and unprecedented move, a Greek billionaire family has placed an order for not one, but three superyachts, each boasting a length of 230 feet. This monumental deal, which surpasses transactions by prominent figures like the Qatari royal family and Saudi kings, was announced jointly by the International Yacht Company (IYC) and The Italian Sea Group (TISG), two major players in the global yachting industry.
The vessels in question belong to the renowned Admiral Fleet, specifically the GC-Force model, masterfully crafted by Michel Chryssicopoulos, IYC’s Global Managing Partner. The acquisition of three superyachts at once underscores the extraordinary allure of the Admiral Fleet and its undeniable appeal to this affluent European family.
Chryssicopoulos conveyed his excitement, highlighting the enduring partnership between IYC and The Italian Sea Group, which has spanned over a decade. Chryssicopoulos will oversee the construction of these three remarkable superyacht projects, expressing his utmost confidence in The Italian Sea Group’s founder and CEO, Giovanni Costantino, and the entire team as they collaborate to ensure successful deliveries.
While specific details regarding the motor yachts remain confidential, it is known that the Admiral GC-Force 70 yachts will be meticulously crafted by The Italian Sea Group’s in-house design studio, Centro Stile. These yachts are distinguished by their elegant design, featuring sleek lines and expansive deck spaces that allow an abundance of natural light to illuminate the interiors, thanks to the extensive use of glass throughout.
Upon completion, each of the three Admiral GC-Force 70 yachts will boast a minimum of seven opulent guest cabins and ten crew cabins. These yachts are scheduled for delivery in 2026, 2027, and 2028, respectively.
Filippo Menchelli, Chairman of The Italian Sea Group, shed light on this historic sale, emphasizing its significance as a milestone achieved through the professionalism of their team and the exceptional quality of their yachts. This acquisition serves as a testament to the worldwide trust placed in their organization by esteemed yacht owners.
