The Marina Yachting brand celebrates its 35th anniversary by offering some classics in a contemporary restyling for its autumn-winter collection. These items include the Pea coat and the Far and Nelson jackets, resulting in a modern selection that is a veritable tribute to the past.

Four hundred years of history, the conviction that the shipyard should remain a family business and the courage to think ahead. With this recipe, the Picchiotti clan of the Cantiere Navale Arno are throwing themselves head first into the megayacht sector.

Quality, speed, and innovation. After more than thirty years in the business, Alfamarine lays down the law in the nautical industry with their timeless boats that remain true to the yard’s craft philosophy. Credit goes to Marcello Fazioli as well as his son Andrea.

A new shipyard has been founded in Torre Annunziata, one of Campania’s most economically challenged areas. With a name that has long been associated with luxury gozzi, this yard now boasts 125 sq. m. of seafront space to deal with increased production and to create employment in this region. Cataldo and Giovanni Aprea explain.

The heir to the most prestigious yacht brand and two experts in the highly desired world of luxurious automobiles have come together to take over the top end of the nautical market.

In 2004, Tilli Antonelli, known as Mr. Pershing, decided to relaunch the historic Roman opens. The result was a new sales network abroad and three new and very successful models. His secret? A romantic notion of the nautical industry characterised by fair yet aggressive play with defensive tactics ready when necessary.

With the acquisition of Trintella and ML Boatworks, this legendary brand, associated with Franco Padoan’s family, is now present in almost all segments of the market. A 71-metre motorboat and a 50-metre ketch designed by Ron Holland are among its future projects.

Four generations of men and women dedicated to quality. This family company, founded out of love, has grown thanks to the passion and continual research for light, fine fabrics and lace. Materials that are so resistant that they are perfect at sea and so beautiful that they are desired by all the important owners.

Engineer Vincenzo Poerio, Benetti’s Managing Director and creator, with Paolo Vitelli, of the Azimut-Benetti Group, sleeps six hours a night and finds it difficult not to stop in the shipyard when he’s in the office. He believes that a two-digit growth for the nautical industry (and Benetti) “is a realistic target figure”.

He harbours a passion for sailboats in addition to that for Miele washing machines, which, together with other appliances from this German company, have won over the nautical market. Credit for this goes to Fran-cesco Covi and his remarkable intuition.
