The Spanish shipyard, a leader in the design and manufacture of luxury yachts, consolidates its presence on the Costa del Sol with Higuerón Yachts, the brand marketing nautical services of Higuerón Resort. A partnership forged on the values of excellence, passion and professionalism.
It was 2012 when the paths of award-winning sailor Marc de Antonio and Stand Chmielewski, two enthusiasts of nautical design, converged to give life to the shipyard that would produce conceptually avant-garde and technologically innovative boats.
Fourteen years later, De Antonio Yachts is a benchmark project in the sector, with undeniable growth and the best prospects for the future.
One of the key points of success has been innovation to change what is traditionally known, based on Marc’s experience as a navigator. This reflective process led them to seek ways to create a ship more in line with current needs and trends.
De Antonio Yachts has redefined the nautical experience by creating a unique combination of advanced technology and minimalist, functional aesthetics with clean lines and innovative solutions, the result of a constant pursuit of excellence.
Premium materials, masterfully designed spaces and attention to detail make each boat a floating masterpiece.
Regardless of the model chosen, all are characterised by exceptional hydrodynamic efficiency and optimised space, guaranteeing superior comfort levels thanks to their spacious decks, ease of handling and constant feeling of control over the sea.
The versatility of the boats created at the De Antonio Yachts shipyard is also surprising. Whether on weekend getaways, coastal adventures or events on the high seas, you will always feel like you are experiencing unique moments.
As a result of this philosophy, they developed the idea of concealing the outboard motor and integrating it into the hull. This creates the ideal space for a platform that facilitates access to water, while stylising the image with an elegance that has become a hallmark of the brand, harmonising perfectly with its modern and sporty character.
The definitive consolidation came in 2019 with the selection of the D46 model as the best European boat in the category of over twelve metres in length. But recognition does not stop there; it also extends to the international market. That is why it is not difficult to find De Antonio Yachts moored in the world’s most exclusive ports, having become the brand synonymous with luxury, engineering and comfort.
Through Higuerón Yachts, the Higuerón Resort also looks out to sea
The Costa del Sol is a paradise for sailing. Its pleasant climate, calm waters, magnificent beaches and infrastructure designed for enjoyment make Malaga an international benchmark. Higuerón Resort is also an international benchmark, a five-star complex synonymous with excellence, capable of satisfying absolutely every need and turning your stay into a sublime experience.
De Antonio Yachts is not insensitive to this reality and, therefore, since 2021, Higuerón Resort, through Higuerón Yachts, its brand specialising in products for nautical activities, has been the exclusive manufacturer’s only official point of sale in Andalusia, marketing all its products and offering its customers a premium service, both for sale and for hire. including such prominent figures as world rally champion Carlos Sainz and the King and Queen of Spain, who rented a D50 Coupé for a summer holiday in Mallorca.
However, the close relationship of trust between De Antonio Yachts and Higuerón Yachts goes beyond a commercial framework; it is now a partnership in many aspects, including the artistic.
Enrique Brinkmann, one of the most important and influential painters on the Spanish art scene, as well as a collaborator and ambassador for Higuerón Resort, customised a 100% electric E23 boat, confirming the excellent relationship of trust between manufacturer and distributor.
The boat catalogue consists of eight models capable of satisfying even the most demanding sailors.
The E23 is the brand’s first 100% electric boat, marking the beginning of a new era. An innovative model based on maximum efficiency. Its compact proportions with catamaran architecture integrating a foil between its hulls give it emission-free sailing performance that is unique in its segment, while offering a practical and comfortable deck space with careful attention to detail and finish. A perfect union between technology and cutting-edge design.
The new E23 has been chosen by the organisers of the world’s most important sailing competition as the official electric boat for the 37th America’s Cup, to be held in Barcelona in 2024.
D29 takes the style and performance of one of the most iconic models in the range, the D28, and takes it one step further. It is a vessel with unique features in its category thanks to its high-performance hull, providing a genuine sailing experience with dual panoramic screens.
It is a model that can be customised in numerous ways, whether in its Hardtop or Softop versions. Its deck is designed to maximise space and provide exceptional comfort.
In addition, the interior has also been designed with a striking forward cabin featuring a double bed and full bathroom. In short, a 29-foot walkaround boat packed with exclusive and original features for enjoying the sea like never before.
The D32 OPEN, with a length of 10 metres, joins the brand’s new generation of design and performance that began with the award-winning D36 model. Its proportions and exterior lines, along with its meticulous attention to detail, enhance its modern and sporty character which, together with the advanced architecture of its high-performance hull, give the model comfortable sailing, low fuel consumption and high speed performance. The walk-around deck layout offers a unique distribution of space for its length, incorporating generous sunbathing areas and benches with a central table, as well as a practical outdoor kitchen. The interior is laid out in an open space with two double beds and a separate bathroom.
The high level of quality and definition of its finishes, together with its performance, make the D32 Open a compact and sophisticated day boat, ideal for all audiences.
We come to the new mid-range model, the D36, which draws on the brand’s experience in developing the latest models and combines the best features of the successful D34 in its Open and Cruiser variants in a single version.
A very complete boat in terms of length, with a high-performance hull with a pronounced V-shape and two lines of steps, ample deck space with a walk-around layout, an innovative modular interior and a fully equipped separate bathroom.
The optional hardtop and high windscreen offer the possibility of configuring a semi-cabin version where you can sail protected from the elements. An evolved, sophisticated and sporty design for a cutting-edge, trend-setting boat.
The D42 offers the best in sailing with an unrivalled stern platform, with the option of adjusting its height to sea level. Its spectacular walk-around design with large sun decks, lounge-style seating area that can be converted into three different configurations, and outdoor kitchen make it unique. The D42 exceeds all expectations with its spacious interior, solutions such as a central garage for a small dinghy, and the brand’s successful and renowned innovation in concealed outboard motorisation. An ideal 12-metre family cruiser with sporty performance and exceptional design.
The ultimate in performance and comfort on board is the D50 OPEN. Based on the award-winning D46 Open and equipped with 2, 3 or 4 concealed outboard engines, it provides sporty and efficient navigation, exceeding 50 knots with a maximum power of 1,800 hp. Its deck layout offers the option of a convertible jacuzzi on the bow sundeck and a customisable interior layout with two or three cabins, one of which can be adapted as a skipper’s cabin, as well as the option of one or two bathrooms.
The D50 COUPÉ is the latest model in the range, with a design that exceeds all expectations for its length and reinvents the walk-around concept. Based on the D50 Open, it maintains its impressive sailing performance with hidden outboard motors and the characteristic generous spaces both on deck and inside. This new version, with a streamlined superstructure, further highlights its avant-garde architecture, offering an enclosed driving area for greater comfort on long journeys and allowing the central section to be opened with the retractable canvas roof. Sporty, modern, spacious and convertible: that’s the D50 Coupé.
The D60 is the new flagship of the De Antonio Yachts range. The yacht is eighteen metres long and is powered by four 600 hp Mercury V12 outboard engines, enabling it to reach speeds of over forty-five knots.
The design maximises space with a walk-around concept: a sun deck at the stern with a table and ice bucket, a central dining area for more than ten people and a configurable bow with a sun deck, sofa and optional integrated jacuzzi. It also includes a versatile hardtop that can be completely closed or opened.
Its innovative interior design offers a mid-level galley, a spacious suite, flexible forward cabins, and a separate crew cabin.
