There’s a moment — usually around 40 knots, with the spray cleared and the horizon wide open — when a yacht stops being a boat and becomes something closer to a feeling. The De Antonio D60 delivers that moment. Repeatedly. And then, when you’re done feeling the rush, it invites you to sit down in a beautifully appointed salon, pour something cold, and pretend you never left the dock.
At Bluenose Yachts, we don’t throw the word remarkable around lightly. The D60 has earned it. Unveiled to the world at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, this 60-foot hardtop coupé from Spanish builder De Antonio is the brand’s largest and most ambitious model yet — and it raises the bar for what a performance cruiser at this size can be.
"The D60 isn't trying to be everything to everyone. It just happens to succeed at being everything anyway."
The Trick Up Its Transom
Walk around the D60’s stern and you’ll notice something unusual: it looks clean. No dangling outboards, no exposed machinery — just a sleek, uninterrupted transom that could belong to a classic motor yacht. Push a button, and a panel lifts to reveal four Mercury V12 600 HP outboards, neatly tucked away behind a garage that also doubles as storage for a tender. It’s signature De Antonio, and it’s genuinely clever engineering.
The benefit isn’t just aesthetic. Hiding the outboards frees up enormous space in the bilge — space that De Antonio leaves entirely up to the owner. Bikes, water toys, a custom build-out? The options are virtually limitless.
Performance That Backs Up the Brochure
Let’s talk numbers, because with the D60 they’re genuinely impressive. Powered by four 600 HP Mercury V12 Verado outboards — 2,400 HP in total — the D60 hit 45 knots during sea trials, with the builder reporting 48 knots in ideal conditions. Cruising speed sits at a very comfortable 30 knots, and thanks to a shallow 3’3″ draft, you can take her into anchorages that would stop most yachts of this size cold.
The hull is built using infusion lamination with GRP (glass-reinforced polymer), keeping the displacement down while maintaining structural rigidity. She handles predictably and responds crisply — a credit to De Antonio’s engineering team.

Three Entertaining Zones, Zero Compromises
The D60’s deck layout is one of its strongest suits. Wide walkaround decks — protected by tall bulwarks — give safe, easy access to a generous foredeck featuring one of the largest forward lounges you’ll find on a yacht of this length. There’s also an optional hidden Jacuzzi up there, which we’d tick without hesitation.
Aft, a transformer swim platform is a genuine showstopper. A center section lifts and hinges backward, revealing four steps down to a sea-level beach club — the kind of feature more commonly seen on superyachts north of 80 feet. Up top, a hatch behind the helm station leads to rooftop sunbathing. Three distinct zones, endless configurations.
Slide open the doors to the salon and the D60 makes its intentions clear: this is a serious interior. Opposing settees, a fold-out teak dining table, and drop-down windows that blur the line between inside and out. Ventilation is well thought-out, and the overall feel is airy and modern without losing warmth.
The owner’s suite is genuinely suite-level — sofa, desk, full bathroom with separate shower, and a walk-in wardrobe. Forward cabins are configurable as a VIP suite or two separate berths. A crew cabin with two bunks, private bathroom, and independent bow access rounds things out — a detail seasoned owners will appreciate.
The helm station is a highlight: triple-seat layout with U-shaped console, dual Simrad MFDs, joystick docking, and bow thruster control. It has the feel of a genuine command center, with clean sightlines and ergonomics clearly designed for someone who actually intends to drive the boat.
Because the D60 doesn’t have inboard engines consuming the space beneath the cockpit, that entire cavern is a blank canvas. De Antonio has seen owners use it for water sports gear, bicycles, custom built-ins, and more. If you can imagine it and it fits, De Antonio will consider it. This level of customization at this price point is unusual — and it speaks to the brand’s philosophy across the range.
The honest answer: a specific kind of buyer. Someone who wants the raw performance of a sport boat without sacrificing the comfort and hosting capability of a proper cruiser. Someone who entertains, but also genuinely enjoys driving. Someone who’s done with the idea that going fast and living well are mutually exclusive.
Its 3’3″ draft makes it unusually versatile for a 60-footer — you’re not restricted to deep-water marinas. The 3,000-litre fuel capacity provides real range at cruising speeds. With berths for up to 12 guests and crew quarters with independent access, the D60 handles overnight passages and day charters equally well.

The Bluenose Verdict
The De Antonio D60 is not a cautious boat. It makes bold choices — the hidden outboards, the transformer beach club, the staggering power package — and those choices pay off. In a segment full of capable but conservative designs, the D60 stands out as genuinely original.
At Bluenose Yachts, we’ve followed De Antonio’s rise through the range, and the D60 feels like the moment the brand fully arrived. It’s fast, it’s beautiful, it’s practical, and it’s deeply satisfying to be aboard.
If you’re in the market at this level, it deserves your serious attention.
