The Italian Sea Group celebrates the launch of M/Y Raja², the 55-meter aluminium Admiral superyacht from the successful S- Force line.
The launch ceremony took place at the Marina di Carrara headquarters, in the presence of the owner, Authorities, and The Italian Sea Group Board, who made the development of this innovative project possible. The 55-meter yacht features a beam of 8.60 meters and a gross tonnage of 499 GT. Delivery is scheduled for the spring of this year.
“M/Y Raja² embodies bold and sophisticated luxury, combining exquisite materials and harmonious contrasts to create a unique and exclusive experience. Every detail is designed to offer not only beauty but also comfort and functionality,” affirms Gianmaria Costantino, CCO of The Italian Sea Group.
Entirely designed by The Italian Sea Group’s in-house Style Center and managed by IYC and Med Waves Charters, the Raja² superyacht is built to offer an exclusive experience through innovative design and cutting-edge technology.
“It is very exciting to see this beautiful project take shape! Raja²’s extraordinary interiors along with her striking exterior lines and colour will make this yacht a head-turner! We are wishing her new proud owners great times onboard,” commented Michel Chryssicopoulos, IYC Global Managing Partner.
Xenia Tsipidou, IYC Head of Charter Management Greece added: “We are beyond proud to be adding Raja² to our Charter Management Fleet based out of Athens. We are certain that Raja² will be a super successful charter yacht and will create unforgettable moments for both Owners and Charterers.”
“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Italian Sea Group for their exceptional work, great professionalism, attention to detail, and passion in bringing the M/Y Raja² to life,” commented broker Vasilis Petropoulos di Med Waves Charters & Sales.
Exterior Design
M/Y Raja² boasts fluid yet powerful exterior lines, defined by a streamlined, dynamic profile that blends sophistication with a distinctly sporty character.
Expansive glass surfaces along the superstructure embrace the growing trend among owners for seamless indoor-outdoor living, allowing natural light to take centre stage. The sharp, modern bow conveys strength and presence, while the innovative open stern creates generous relaxation areas with direct access to the water.
The sundeck and upper decks integrate seamlessly with the yacht’s silhouette, maintaining uninterrupted lines that enhance its refined, contemporary aesthetic. Generous outdoor spaces provide an inviting atmosphere, with two aft decks featuring dining and lounge areas.
The sundeck is equipped with a Jacuzzi and multiple sunbathing spots, while the upper deck offers a spacious circular lounge that can be transformed into a touch-and-go helipad for effortless access at any time.
Additionally, a large garage accommodates an 8-meter tender and a wide selection of water toys, ensuring the ultimate yachting experience.
Interior Design & Exclusive Comfort
The interiors of M/Y Raja² embody a bold fusion of maximalism and effortless elegance. The overall atmosphere balances grandeur with refinement, creating a distinctive visual language where seemingly contrasting elements coexist in perfect harmony, reflecting a strong and confident character.
This project stands out for its uniqueness and ambition, with a strong design that gives each space its own identity while maintaining a common thread of unpredictability, bringing dynamism and vibrancy throughout.
Expansive marble surfaces, enriched with intricate three-dimensional details, mouldings, and decorative frames, add a touch that is both modern and classic, seamlessly fitting into the duality that defines the entire project.
The striking contrast between Black Marquina and Calacatta Gold marble enhances this interplay, just as the refined pairing of White Carrara with rich brown Port Saint Laurent achieves a similar effect. The same principle applies to the wood finishes, where glossy Canaletto walnut contrasts with sandblasted or bleached Dark Chocolate oak. Soft, natural- toned leathers complete the strong yet inviting palette, punctuated by elegant bursts of vibrant hues such as burnt orange and deep wine red.
A defining feature of the design is the extensive use of mirrored surfaces—an owner’s request—strategically placed to reflect light and water, amplifying the sense of openness and connection to the surrounding seascape.
The versatility of this project seamlessly blends comfort with functionality, creating an immersive and stimulating atmosphere that both captivates and soothes, evoking an alluring yet serene ambience.
