An 18.5-metre presence at Moll de la Fusta
Barcelona International Boat Show lists the De Antonio D60 in its October 14–18, 2026 on-water catalogue, with a length of 18.50 metres and beam of 5.20 metres. The Spanish builder positions the D60 at the larger end of its open motor-yacht range, with an emphasis on wide exterior spaces and concealed outboard propulsion. This is a display of an existing model, not a newly announced world premiere.
The model belongs firmly in Luxury Yacht Guide’s 12.00–23.99-metre editorial sector. Its design is of interest to owners who want the informality of a walk-around dayboat but need sleeping accommodation, substantial deck space and the capabilities to support more than a single afternoon out.
Outboards hidden behind the yacht’s architecture
The D60 uses four outboard engines integrated into enclosed aft compartments. This approach conceals the engines from the main social areas and separates machinery visually from the bathing platform. The builder describes a power range reaching approximately 2,400 horsepower in total, with configuration and performance depending on the chosen engines and loading.
Prospective owners should examine how access to the enclosed outboards works in practice. An installation that is visually discreet still needs ventilation, maintenance access, safe fuel arrangements and straightforward inspection. Buyers should ask the builder and dealer about servicing access and the approved propulsion options for the particular production unit.
Flexible living spaces for time at anchor
Large deck lounges, a forward relaxation area and a substantial aft cockpit support an open-air style of Mediterranean cruising. The D60 design integrates a swim platform with access toward the water, and the builder offers optional amenities including a Jacuzzi arrangement and a tender storage solution. These may vary by specification.
The best comparison is not merely the count of seats or the width of the deck. Owners should examine circulation between the helm and the exterior gathering areas, movement around the bow and available shade during a long afternoon. Storage for water toys, provisions and weather covers often determines how the boat feels after a week of use.
Below-deck comfort and the purchase decision
The builder offers several cabin arrangements suited to a couple or visiting family, with accommodation and bathroom configuration depending on the chosen plan. The D60 is intended to combine the direct connection to the sea of an open boat with sleeping quarters suitable for longer stays. A substantial fuel capacity also supports a range of cruising patterns, although real-world endurance depends on speed and sea conditions.
At Barcelona, buyers should request a dated equipment list, the exact cabin arrangement, sea-trial information and clear pricing for every option. The October show provides a chance to judge the D60 in person alongside more conventional flybridge yachts in this length bracket. Its key distinction is a particular combination of hidden outboards and large exterior living areas, not a guarantee that it suits every passage.
