Shipowner and former mayor of Oinusso Evangelos Angelakos and his family are a group that ordered three ultra-luxury yachts of 70 meters each from The Italian Sea Group shipyards at the same time. According to yachting circles, the three yachts that will carry the Admiral brand, and in particular the GC-Force 70 model, will have a gross tonnage in the order of 2,000 tons, which, combined with the shipyard’s type and vessels: placing the cost of each in the region of 60 million. That is, the total order value is approaching 180 million. However, due to the fact that the order concerns three boats, the price could be reduced by as much as 30%.

The order’s family patriarch, Evangelos Angelakos, was mayor of Oinousses for four to four years, where he achieved significant recognition for his work, while before joining the local government in the late 90s he was already a shipowner. from London. The family’s shipping company is Angelakos (Hellas) SA, based in Paleo Faliro, and the head of the Angelakos group in yachting is reported in the market to be one of his sons, Dimitris Angelakos.

In response to a question from Cathimerini to IYC, who managed the specific order, the company categorically declined to comment, citing strict confidentiality provisions. However, information about the buyer’s identity was obtained by “K” from other market sources.

The same sources claim that this appears to be a move to operate yachts through charters, an activity in which the family in question has shown interest for some time. In addition, the Angelaku family already owns two Benetti yachts, one 56 meters long bought last summer and another 60 meters long bought about three years ago. In fact, the 60m IDyllic superyacht is the one that collided with an anchored water carrier off Spetses at dawn in late April. She has since been reportedly refurbished and returned to the market for charter.

The specific yachts to be built by Admiral are estimated to generate weekly charters of €550,000-€650,000, and due to their size, they can operate most of the year, traveling in winter to other areas such as the Erythra Sea or the Caribbean.

The superyachts will be built from steel and aluminum and will have a luxurious configuration with 7 passenger cabins, as well as 10 additional cabins for the crew. All naval architecture and styling for the Admiral GC-Force 70 was created by the shipyard’s Centro Stile design department. The yachts are scheduled to be commissioned in 2026, 2027 and 2028.

The family’s love for boats has been known for a long time, and the yachts that have included from time to time, according to relevant information, the 44m Baglietto yacht, “Tatiana Per Semper”, by Giorgos Koronias, known as a leader from his journey as head of Vodafone since his first steps in Greece.
