Our proximity to Monaco and the French Cote d'Azur provides unparalleled access to discerning clients whilst maintaining direct relationships with Italy's most accomplished naval architects and construction facilities.

The Italian Riviera's maritime heritage, combined with our established partnerships across premier Italian shipyards, positions us uniquely to deliver exceptional custom yacht construction projects. Our team manages every aspect from initial naval architect selection through sea trials, ensuring seamless yacht project management throughout the build process. This integrated approach has proven invaluable for clients seeking to create vessels that will grace the waters from Sanremo to Antibes and beyond to the Greek Islands during summer seasons.
Our yacht project management methodology encompasses every phase of custom yacht construction, from concept development through final delivery. Based in Liguria's maritime heartland, we coordinate closely with leading Italian shipyards and international suppliers to maintain the highest construction standards. Each project benefits from our hands-on build supervision approach, ensuring quality control and timeline adherence throughout the construction process.
Our position between Monaco and Genoa enables rapid access to construction sites across the Mediterranean, ensuring consistent oversight whether your project unfolds in Italian facilities or partner shipyards throughout the region. This geographic advantage proves particularly valuable during critical construction phases requiring immediate attention or decision-making.
The Italian maritime industry's reputation for excellence extends from traditional craftsmanship to cutting-edge superyacht technology.

Our regional knowledge encompasses not only construction capabilities but also the regulatory environment, ensuring compliance with both Italian maritime regulations and international classification society requirements.
Our expertise extends to both new-build superyacht projects and comprehensive refit Liguria programmes, allowing us to guide clients through complex decisions regarding construction versus refurbishment. This dual capability proves particularly valuable for clients considering extensive modifications to existing vessels or comparing new-build options with comprehensive refit programmes. Our technical services team provides the analytical foundation for these strategic decisions.
Custom yacht construction demands seamless coordination between naval architects, interior designers, and specialised suppliers. From our Ventimiglia office, we maintain direct communication channels with Europe's leading design studios whilst coordinating with shipyards across the Mediterranean basin. This integration ensures that aesthetic vision aligns with engineering requirements and construction capabilities throughout the build process.
The proximity to Monaco's luxury market and the French Riviera's design community enables us to source the finest materials and craftspeople for interior finishing. Whether your vessel will primarily cruise the Balearics during summer seasons or embark on extended Mediterranean explorations, our design integration ensures optimal functionality and aesthetic appeal for your intended usage patterns.
Project completion marks the beginning of our long-term relationship with new-build clients. Our comprehensive handover process includes detailed systems training, documentation transfer, and crew familiarisation programmes. Following delivery, our yacht management services ensure your investment remains in optimal condition whilst providing access to the Mediterranean's premier cruising destinations from the Amalfi Coast to Croatia's pristine islands.
The strategic advantage of our Italian Riviera location becomes apparent during the operational phase, as your yacht can be maintained at world-class facilities whilst enjoying preferred berthing at exclusive marinas from Portofino to Cannes. Our ongoing support encompasses everything from warranty management to seasonal preparation, ensuring your custom-built yacht delivers exceptional performance throughout its operational life.
