Step on Board the Italian Excellence

Futuristic jewels of the sea – fruit of the labors of a long production chain that runs from design to engine building, from innovation in materials up to the digital – they are the megayachts, the pride and joy of the nautical division of Tuscany. A creative universe, varied and rich in stimuli, the region’s nautical area constitutes a genuine goldmine of opportunity for those planning on investing in this sector. A full ninety out of the 250 megayachts that are registered in Italy were produced in Tuscany, making up 36% of the entire national production.

And the active production chain in the sector offers a broad range of professionalism that is highly specialized in different areas of application. Mechanics, fashion, furnishing, and engineering are just some of the areas that are involved, all of which operate in the region’s territory. There are twenty main international shipyards that are active in the nautical sector. Of those, six of them are headquartered in Tuscany. We are speaking of Azimut – Benetti, Sanlorenzo, Overmarine, Admiral Tecnomar, Fipa Group, and Cerri – Baglietto.
