The Spanish shipyard has unveiled ‘Seeking Adventure’, a cinematic short film created to launch the new D36 Cabin, once again proving that while the rest of the industry follows the same rules, De Antonio Yachts prefers to write its own.
What happens when a boat brand stops talking about boats?
While most manufacturers introduce new models through product photography, technical videos and feature lists, De Antonio Yachts has chosen to do something completely different: tell a story.
The result is Seeking Adventure, a three-minute cinematic short film created to accompany the launch of the new D36 Cabin. The fictional story follows two photographers who embark on a journey in search of an extraordinary image. Their quest takes them to remote locations, inaccessible landscapes and unforgettable moments, where the boat ceases to be the protagonist and instead becomes what it has always been: the means to experience an adventure.
Because for De Antonio Yachts, it has never been just about building boats. Since its inception, the brand has challenged the conventions of the boating industry by combining innovation, design, craftsmanship and an authentic vision of life on the water. A philosophy that is reflected not only in its yachts, but also in the way it communicates them.
A Brand That Continues to Do Things Differently
Since its inception, De Antonio Yachts has built its identity by challenging the conventions of the boating industry.
It did so by reinventing the architecture of sport boats with its signature hidden outboard engines. It did so by embracing clean, minimalist design at a time when the market followed very different aesthetic standards. And today, it is doing so once again by redefining how a new model is introduced.
Rather than focusing the conversation on figures, engines or technical specifications, the brand has chosen to tell a story.
Because people don’t remember top speeds. They remember stories.
Seeking Adventure brings that same philosophy into the world of brand communication. If De Antonio Yachts has transformed the way boats are designed, it now aims to challenge the way the industry presents them.
In an industry accustomed to showcasing products, De Antonio Yachts has chosen instead to tell the stories you create with them.
The D36 Cabin: Designed for Those Who See Adventure as a Way of Life
The release of the short film coincides with the launch of the new D36 Cabin, the evolution of one of the brand’s most successful models.
The new D36 Cabin brings De Antonio’s signature sporty, walkaround DNA to a yacht designed for comfortable year-round cruising, even in more demanding weather conditions. Its new fully enclosed panoramic cabin protects both the helm station and the main living area while maintaining an uninterrupted connection with the outdoors through 360-degree glazing and multiple opening configurations.
Inside, the D36 Cabin features a completely redesigned layout that comfortably accommodates up to six guests. A multifunctional central galley, generous living spaces and thoughtfully integrated solutions for extended getaways create an exceptionally versatile onboard experience. All of this is paired with the sporty, efficient performance that defines the brand, thanks to its hidden outboard engines and a high-performance hull capable of exceeding 40 knots.
Yet beyond its specifications, the new model has been designed for those who see a boat as a platform for exploration—whether that’s pursuing outdoor sports, photography, fishing, discovering new destinations or simply disappearing for a few days.
Ultimately, it is a boat built to go in search of what has yet to be discovered.
More Than a Campaign. A Statement of Intent.
Seeking Adventure is not an advertisement. It is a statement of how De Antonio Yachts approaches design, innovation and communication.
For years, the brand has demonstrated that innovation is about more than building better boats. It is also about challenging the way they are presented, the way they are told, and ultimately, the way they are experienced.
At a time when capturing people’s attention is all about telling compelling stories, De Antonio Yachts has embraced the language of cinema to convey something no technical specification sheet ever could: the thrill of discovering the unknown.
Because boats are not designed simply to navigate. They are designed to create extraordinary stories.
