ADMIRAL MAXIMA 47 – M/Y ‘ENTOURAGE’
The sixth launch of the year by The Italian Sea Group took place in Marina di Carrara – Italy
The 47 meter motoryacht from the Maxima series is the latest Admiral jewel hitting the water this year after the extra large floating barge and the motoryachts “FOAM” (a 35m Full Custom yacht by Admiral), “LOW PROFILE” (a 40m from the Tecnomar Nadara series), “FLYING DRAGON” (a 45m from the Admiral Regale series) and “NONO” (a 37m from the Admiral Impero series)..
Christened “ENTOURAGE”, this motoryacht features a full displacement steel hull, with aluminum superstructure; she is truly an ocean passage maker, with a range in excess of 6.000 nm.
ENTOURAGE is a trideck yacht, boasting a traditional white color enriched by matt black areas in correspondence with side windows. The full-height panoramic windows flood the yacht interior with natural light and offer unparalleled views.
The main deck is incredibly spacious with full headroom opening sliding doors on both sides of the main salon.
This area also includes the dining area, while forward on the main deck is the master suite.
The master suite features private gym and sauna, huge master bathroom and of course office corner and walking wardrobe.
As requested by the owners, the king size bed is placed in the middle of the suite.
On the lower deck four large guest cabins find place, two VIP’s and two doubles which may become two twin or even triple bed when required; all of those cabins feature a private ensuite bathroom, enriched with precious materials.
On the upper deck, a spectacular skylounge salon finds its perfect location, taking the whole beam of the yacht, featuring full headroom side windows and even an opening balcony on the starboard side, which creates a further terrace to enjoy the nights at anchor.
Forward on the same deck there is the pantry directly connected to the galley and to the sundeck through a dumb-waiter, and the wheelhouse, which is directly connected with the captain cabin.
Forward of the wheelhouse, outside, another lounge and sunbathing area has been arranged, the perfect place to enjoy the best sea view.
Going upstairs we find a huge sundeck area, normally found on much larger yachts, partly overshadowed by the hard top and featuring a bar corner, a large Jacuzzi, large table for ‘al fresco’ dinners and of course sun bathing areas.
The crew area is divided between the main deck, where the pantry and the main galley find place, and the lower deck, where the crew quarter boasts four double cabins with ensuite head, crew mess and secondary galley, laundry storage and last but not least, the cold storage and laundry which are placed on the extra big underlower deck, obtained within the hull forward tunnel.
This area also include a separate staircase from the guests’ one, in order to secure privacy and discretion and of course both the main deck pantry and the upper deck one are connected through the exterior side deck through watertight doors.
The yacht also features big external areas on the upper deck, where the external dining area finds place on the aft terrace, and on the main deck, where the aft cockpit offers a huge lounge and reception area.
This space is also directly connected to the aft beach club, which is obtained opening the transom door. This area is also connected to the garage where all the toys find place. The launching system for those is provided through a crane which launch and lift the tenders through a side opening port.
The garage is directly connected to the engine control room, which gives access to the actual engine room, and it’s also accessible by a staircase which connects the garage to the main deck.
Luca Dini drew the yacht’s exterior styling working closely with the Admiral Centro Stile and Baldo Gjurasic , owner representative and project manager of the yacht since the contract signing dated June 2012.
Versus Design is responsible for interiors in cooperation with the Admiral Centro Stile.
M/Y ‘ENTOURAGE’ will be displayed at the next Monaco Yacht Show 2014 and at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2014.
