The top team as read on LinkedIn8 people read as staff, October 2026
A family general manager and a partner-sales director (the dealer-entrepreneur who created the yacht line) over a Production Manager from Fincantieri, a boat chief, a project manager and a small technical office.
Antonini Navi is a steel shipbuilder's yacht brand, eleven people on LinkedIn: the family runs it, a partner sells it, and a production manager builds it. The structure is the two-person model the brief describes (commercial partner plus production lead) at its smallest, with the owner above both.
Seats and dates are as the people describe them on LinkedIn; a person who moved in the last months can still show the old seat. Tap a person for the profile and the reading.
