History of the company

The Italian brand Advanced Yachts first appeared in public during a boat show in Genoa in 2010. The twenty-metre yacht from the new shipyard, created shortly before the premiere by experienced yachtsmen Marco Tursini and Antonella di Leo, immediately caught the eye. The Advanced 66 was designed by the architectural firm Reichel & Pugh and the next model, the Advanced A80 Apsaras, won the ARC in the cruise division in 2015.

Later on, the well-known designer Roberto Biscontini joined the work on the new models – before that he worked for 25 years in various syndicates of America’s Cup, including Il Moro di Venezia, BMW Oracle Racing and Team NZ. Together with Mario Pedol, with whom they’ve been friends for over 30 years, Biscontini has created two new Advanced A44 and A60 models. The first of them was named European Yacht of the year 2015.
