🗓️ 18/10/2025
The prestigious “Best for Innovation” trophy in the 45–64 feet category at the World Yacht Trophies gala in France was presented this year to De Antonio Yachts for the D60 model. This special recognition confirms that the yacht stands out in its class – not only in terms of design and technology, but also comfort and a strong focus on sustainability.
The yacht was built at the Model Art shipyard in Ostróda, Poland, which consistently takes on new challenges and continually raises the bar for innovation. The flagship model of De Antonio is a true jewel in the brand’s portfolio and the largest yacht ever built at Model Art (overall length approx. 18.5 m / 60 feet). As emphasized by Model Art Shipyard’s CEO, Bartłomiej Jursza, it was a project unique in many respects – a wide team of engineers was involved, and technologically it became the most advanced build in the company’s history. It is the first yacht from this shipyard with four outboard engines of 600 HP each, built with advanced composites and delivering performance that can truly be called a masterpiece. The entire team – both in Spain and Poland – has every reason to be proud. It is worth highlighting that the quality of yacht production in Poland today belongs among the highest in the world.
The most characteristic feature of the D60 is its four concealed outboard engines – a hallmark of De Antonio Yachts. Thanks to this solution, the yacht achieves an impressive maximum speed of about 48 knots. The interior can be configured with either two or three cabins, while extensive personalization options allow the yacht to be tailored to each owner’s individual needs. The elegant yacht upholstery in marine-grade standard, produced by Pacyfic in Ostróda, can be customized to personal preferences, with ten colour options available.
At the bow there is a relaxation area – a spacious sunbed and, for those who wish, an optional jacuzzi. The entire deck has been designed in the walkaround style, allowing easy movement all around the yacht. At the stern, there is a large dining area with sun loungers, a wide bathing platform, and a practical garage for a tender or water toys. Additional features, such as sliding windows and a wide palette of colour options, highlight the yacht’s luxurious character and give the owner a true sense of freedom in arrangement.
The yacht’s premiere took place at the Cannes Yachting Festival, where the D60 was unveiled as the new flagship of De Antonio Yachts – combining unique design, advanced technology, and luxurious yacht upholstery.
