PERINI NAVI

Innovation in technology and design create

yachts with cutting-edge performance

A combination of technical brilliance

and near-perfect aesthetics put

Perini Navi’s yachts in a class of their own.

When industrialist Fabio Perini was unable

to find the boat that he wanted for himself

• a large sailing yacht that could be
  handled by one person – he decided to
  build his own. The ambition of Perini Navi
  was to create large yachts that could be
  sailedbyasmallcrew–ithasdeveloped
  technologically advanced, computerised
  sail-handling systems over the years to
  meet this goal. Since its launch in 1984,
  the Italian builder has welcomed 55 yachts
  to its stable, including its largest sailing
  yacht yet – the 88 metreMaltese Falcon.
  Delivered in 2006, she is instantly
  recognisable by her Falcon Rig with
  three masts and curvilinear spars.
  Holding more than 50 per cent of the
  worldmarketforsailingyachtsover
  45 metres LOA, Perini Navi’s track record
  is impressive. In-house design has allowed
  Perini Navi to implement its own systems
  and inventions that give its yachts an edge
  on performance. Perini Navi’s cutting-edge
  sailing technology can be seen in the
  60 metre cruiserSeahawk,thefirstofthe
  successful new 60 metre series of yachts.
  The biennial Perini Navi Cup sees these
  spectacular yachts race against each other.
  But it’s not just sailing yachts with which
  the builder has made its mark. The fame of
  thePeriniNaviGroupisalsostronglytied
  to motor yachts, with the Picchiotti brand
  having launched a number of impressive
  award-winning yachts in recent years,
  such as the 73 metre Perini Navi-Picchiotti
  motor yachtGrace E. The Picchiotti name
  is part of the Italian shipbuilding tradition,
  with roots dating back to the 17th century.
  Sincethe1990s,Picchiottibecamepartof
  thePeriniNaviGroup,whichhasabsorbed
  its experience and valuable traditions. The
  Picchiotti brand of today aims to create
  aclassofmotoryachtsthatsharesagreat
  affinity with the sailing universe and attests
  to a true innovative spirit, aspects that well
  match the Perini Navi Group philosophy.

ROSSINAVI

Customised design means each yacht

isauniqueworkofart

For generations the Rossi family has

been dedicated to working with metal. This

deeply rooted experience in the “fabric” of

shipbuilding forged the family’s traditions in

the production of ships, beginning on the

Tuscan coast in Viareggio, Italy.

Evolving from Cantiere Fratelli Rossi, the

Rossinavi brand was founded in 2007,

carrying forward 35 years of operational

experience, with specialisations in hull

construction and supply for third parties.

Thanks to its history and tradition,

Rossinavi has the benefit of hosting

long-standing experience and know-how

under the same roof. This makes the

shipyard and its mechanics’ workshop

the place of creation and production for

40 metre-plus luxury yachts, which are

works of art built to craftsmen’s standards

• standards that tell, in numbers, of more
  than 100 vessels between 24 and 70 metres
  launched over the years.
  Craftsmen’s experience, simplicity,
  elegance: these three principles are part of
  each vessel labelled Rossi. More than this,
  the Rossinavi team has an unconditional
  love for the job and genuine care for the
  human relationships that are part of the
  yachting experience. In Rossinavi’s company
  and creative philosophy, the shared
  production process is about active synergy
  among all players: the client is involved
  from the start, involved from inception to
  delivery. The development of relationships
  is a priority. This allows the ability to
  guarantee the ultimate satisfaction for a
  shared building experience.
  The shipyard’s inimitable uniqueness
  is the capacity to fulfil every dream of
  those who aspire to own a Rossinavi.
  Customisation is key: the workshop can
  change at any time each detail of the
  project. This is simply part of the Rossi
  tradition. In the workshop, a piece is
  shaped, welded – an element that did not
  exist before is created. The distinctive
  feature of each Rossinavi is an exclusive
  and unrepeatable character, as true works
  of art are not replicable.
