Gianluigi Aponte | Amo

Billionaire Captain Gianluigi Aponte is an Italian who founded the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). It is considered the second-largest container shipping line, next to Maersk. The sea has always fascinated Gianluigi and he was, at one time, a boat captain. With credit to his contribution to the industry, Italian President Giorgio Napolitano conferred him a knighthood.

The billionaire is the owner of a 47 meter yacht that was launched just this 2019. It is categorized as an expedition boat and was built by famous shipyard, Sanlorenzo. It is fitted with a helipad, the first for a Sanlorenzo manufactured yacht. It can reach top speeds of 15.5 knots, and is powered by Caterpillar and Azimuthin engines. Should Gianluigi and his family invite some friends, the boat can accommodate as much as 10, excluding the crew. Its interior features contemporary designs and uses high quality wood.
