On March 2, 2026, Spanish shipyard De Antonio Yachts inaugurated its new headquarters in Barcelona. Housed in a characterful house dating back to 1936, the site now welcomes teams in an environment designed to support the brand's development. More than just a simple move, this new space reflects an evolution in the builder's organization.
A new head office to support the company's growth
The Catalan manufacturer takes a further step in its structuring. After several years of development in the motorboat market, the company is now grouping its activities under a single head office in the Pedralbes district of Barcelona.
The property extends over landscaped grounds of around 2,000 m². The main building, a tower-style house built in 1936, has been converted to house the company's various departments.
A place for owners and the brand ecosystem
The new headquarters is not just for the shipyard's employees. De Antonio Yachts plans to hold meetings there with owners of its boats, as well as with its commercial partners.
These events can take different forms: private presentations, collaborations with other brands, or meetings around navigation. The aim is to create a meeting point for brand users.
Virtual reality integrated into the boat design process
The new headquarters also incorporates digital equipment for the development of future models. Design teams now have access to virtual reality visualization tools.
This technology makes it possible to explore a boat before it is built. Architects and designers can check volumes, on-board circulation and cockpit ergonomics.
For customers, virtual reality offers the opportunity to discover a model under development. Future owners can project themselves onto the interior layout or exterior decks even before the first model is launched.
A Barcelona base for a brand born in Catalonia
Founded in Barcelona, De Antonio Yachts has made a name for itself with motorboats featuring a distinctive aft-deck architecture and integrated outboard motors.
Marc de Antonio, co-founder and general manager of the site, sums up the purpose of the new space.
"It's a place where ideas are transformed into concrete projects, and where teamwork supports the company's development he explains.
With this new headquarters in Barcelona, De Antonio Yachts now has an additional tool to structure its organization and support the launch of its next models.
