Admiral’s RAJA²: Sporty Elegance Meets Italian Craftsmanship
Launched earlier this year in February 2025 by Admiral, a part of The Italian Sea Group, RAJA² is poised to become a standout on the charter market this summer. Admiral is renowned for combining Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, offering yachts that marry bold design with exceptional performance. RAJA² is the latest in the S-Force 55 series and a sistership to the 2020-delivered GECO, embodying the yard’s commitment to sporty elegance and innovative luxury.
RAJA²’s exterior is distinctly dynamic, featuring a sleek plumb bow, metallic paint, and high bulwarks on the aft deck that shelter a welcoming beach club with direct water access. Expansive glass surfaces along the superstructure create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, bathing the interiors in natural light and allowing guests to fully connect with their surroundings. The yacht’s design, crafted by The Italian Sea Group’s in-house Style Center with interior styling by Gian Marco Companino, presents a sophisticated balance of maximalism and refinement. Neutral palettes are enlivened with vibrant accents and rich marble panelling, and mirrored surfaces enhance the sense of space and light, reflecting the ocean views that surround the yacht.
Accommodation is designed to host up to 12 guests across six cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck featuring a folding balcony for private panoramic views. The lower deck houses a VIP suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins, while 12 crew members ensure a flawless experience. RAJA²’s social areas are equally impressive, with multiple indoor and outdoor lounges, formal dining spaces, and a sundeck equipped with sun loungers, a glass-walled swimming pool, and a jacuzzi. For those seeking adventure, a fully equipped gym, touch-and-go helipad, and a vast selection of water toys, from jet skis and seabobs to flyboards, wakeboards, and scuba diving gear, promise endless entertainment. An 8-metre tender facilitates easy shore excursions.
Built with an aluminium hull and superstructure, RAJA² offers enhanced stability and spaciousness. Powered by twin Caterpillar C32 Acert engines, she cruises comfortably at 16.5 knots, reaches a top speed of 18 knots, and boasts an impressive range of 3,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, making her ideal for exploring the Mediterranean and beyond.
Managed by IYC, RAJA² will be chartering this summer, offering an exclusive opportunity to experience the Mediterranean’s most enchanting destinations in style and comfort. With her blend of striking design, luxurious comfort, and versatile amenities, RAJA² exemplifies the Italian Sea Group’s dedication to creating superyachts that deliver both breathtaking aesthetics and exceptional performance.
