Antonini Navi has launched Hanaa, a full-custom Evo 31 of 31.2 metres on four decks. She went into the water at a private ceremony at the yard’s build sheds in La Spezia, according to BOAT International. The yard’s own announcement, carried by Pressmare, describes a steel hull under an aluminium superstructure. Delivery is due in spring 2027. Four decks on a hull of this length is the point of the design. The yard presents her as proof that a metal yacht works at a size where fibreglass is the usual choice.
Four decks on 31.2 metres, in steel and aluminium
The figures are few and precise. Hanaa measures 31.2 metres. The yard’s text says she is developed over four decks, and BOAT International adds that the layout gives her “spacious interiors and generous outdoor areas”. Her hull is steel. Her superstructure is aluminium. Four guest cabins sit on the lower deck, and the same deck holds three cabins for the crew. Neither source gives a guest count, a gross tonnage, a top speed or a range. BOAT International sums up the brief in one phrase: a yacht “with all the desirable attributes of an explorer vessel”.
Two Italian studios shaped her. Hydro Tec drew the exterior, the naval architecture and the layout, and Hot Lab, based in Milan, designed the interiors. The ceremony was private.
What the yard said about metal at 31 metres
The statement is signed by the company, not by a named executive. “Con EVO 31 abbiamo voluto rompere gli schemi,” it begins: with the Evo 31, the yard wanted to break the mould. It goes on to argue that in this size range a custom metal yacht can be safe, modern and of the highest quality, with living space inside and out comparable to yachts much larger than her. Then comes the line that sums up the project. “EVO 31 dimostra che il metallo può essere una valida alternativa alla vetroresina anche per yacht di queste dimensioni,” the yard said: metal can be a valid alternative to fibreglass, even for yachts of this size. It speaks of very competitive costs, “costi molto competitivi”. No price is given.
The argument has a market behind it. Italy has 568 superyachts on order or under construction, 52 per cent of the world’s total, as in our report from the Genoa boat show. And about 2,200 superyachts, one in five of the world fleet, cruised the Italian coast in 2025, according to a Deloitte study.
La Spezia, and a delivery in spring 2027
The launch is the news. The Evo 31 was reported on while she was in build, and what changes now is the timetable. “Delivery is scheduled for spring 2027,” BOAT International writes, and the yard’s own text agrees: delivery is expected by spring 2027. That leaves the winter and the early spring to finish her in La Spezia, on the gulf that runs from Portovenere to Lerici. The same gulf is the subject of our report on The Meliá Collection Lerici, a hotel signed for the town.
The Luxury.it perspective
Hanaa matters for what she says about size. Four decks, an explorer brief and a metal hull are more often found on yachts well above 31 metres, and Antonini Navi is betting that owners will want them in a more compact package. The yard has not shown the interiors, and the first test will come with her first season in 2027. Until then, she is one more Italian launch in a busy autumn, and a small yacht with a big yacht’s ideas.
