Fashion icon Giorgio Armani was a lover of all things luxurious, so it is no surprise that he designed a superyacht or two packed with luxury, with the second, called Geco, is an absolute beauty Constructed in Italy at the Admiral Yachts shipyard, this grand vessel has a truly remarkable exterior, while inside it features all of the luxury you’d expect from a large superyacht. In fact, such is the luxury on display here that the yacht feels more like a floating Milan townhouse than it does a luxury vessel. Armani only ever had two superyachts in his possession, but with the Geco, it looks like he chose wisely.
