Remembering Giorgio Armani: A Tribute Through His Yachts

Giorgio Armani, the visionary Italian designer who reshaped modern elegance, has passed away at the age of 91. As the fashion world mourns, it’s fitting to pay homage through one of his most personal canvases — the yachts that embodied his minimalist sophistication and deep affection for craftsmanship.

1. Mariu – A Tribute to Family & Legacy

Delivered in 2003 by celebrated shipyard Codecasa, the 164-foot Mariu luxury yacht features original Armani/Casa interiors and stands as a moving tribute to his mother — Mariu is a play on “Maria,” her name.

2. Main – Elegance Manifested at Sea

Launched in 2008, Main is a magnificent 65-meter (213-foot) superyacht, distinguished by its dark-green hull that appears nearly black against the sea. Designed both inside and out by Armani, the vessel shelters 14 guests with meticulous elegance and intimacy.

Key facts about Main:

• Builder: Codecasa, a renowned Italian family-run shipyard with roots dating back to 1825
• Interior & Aesthetic: Exclusive interiors curated by Armani, featuring subdued tones, refined finishes, and inspiring minimalism
• Design Philosophy: Merges seamless luxury with functionality — an extension of Armani’s aesthetic ethos: “aesthetics and functionality come together in a natural and elegant style”
