What this builder is
De Antonio Yachts was founded in 2012 with its headquarters in the centre of Barcelona, a location the yard chooses for its seaside, international design culture and industrial tradition; co-founder Marc de Antonio says the company pays special attention to detail for demanding customers. The yard credits its rapid growth to a feature the market had not seen: outboard engines hidden inside volumes in the stern, which give a continuous, wide swim platform, an extra sun deck over the engines, more distance between the propellers and the bathing area, and, it says, lower annual maintenance costs. It also points to its hydrodynamics, which it says specialists have recognised with awards, and to space-optimised layouts. The range covers the D29, D32, D36 (also as the enclosed D36 Cabin), D42, D50 Open and D50 Coupe and the D60 with one to four Mercury Verado engines of 200 to 600 hp each, plus the E23, a 100% electric foiling catamaran. Boats can be configured online, and an exclusive distributor network sells them on four continents.
Who sails them
De Antonio owners are Mediterranean day-boaters and families who want one boat for fast day trips and the odd night aboard, value clean modern lines and a large flat stern platform, and prefer outboards for easy maintenance without the look of engines hanging off the transom.
Signature models
The hidden-outboard concept is the signature, shown off on the D42 with three engines under a continuous sundeck and on the D60 with four V12 or V10 Verados; the E23, the yard's first fully electric boat with a foil between its hulls, is the newest direction.
Strengths
The yard is known for the hidden outboard engines and wide stern platform, award-winning hull hydrodynamics, top speeds of 44 to 50 knots on the petrol models, deck layouts with bow lounges, outdoor galleys and large sundecks, a choice of three to six engine packages per model, and an online configurator for every boat.
Considerations
Each page prints one specification block; weights are given without a load condition (the D36 Cabin's without engines); the D60's weight is printed as 22 t and 45,195 lb, which do not agree, so no displacement is stored; the 'min./max. power' rows are totals (the D36 Cabin's 700-850 hp does not match its 2 x 300-400 hp options); speeds are marked as varying with weight and engines; and no CE category, range or heads count beyond the bathroom row is printed.

History
De Antonio Yachts was founded in 2012 with its headquarters in the centre of Barcelona, a city the company describes as a seaside, cosmopolitan design reference with a long industrial tradition and good connections. It says it uses advanced technology for design, engineering and construction, with an international team of specialists in each area, and that its solutions and design made a notable impact on the boat industry and took it among the leaders of the day-boat market. That success, the yard says, led to rapid growth and a presence on four continents through a network of exclusive distributors working as one global team. The feature it singles out is the hidden outboard engine, which it says has convinced many owners around the world, not least through lower annual maintenance costs. Co-founder Marc de Antonio puts the approach simply: special attention to detail, to deliver the best quality to the most demanding customers.
