Italian Yacht Builders
Italy builds more luxury yachts than any nation on earth — from Benetti, the oldest name in superyachts, to Azimut, the largest builder in the world. Here is what each yard stands for, with the yachts you can charter or buy right now.
Italian yards dominate world yachting for a reason: generations of coachbuilding craft applied to the water. Viareggio and La Spezia turn out the semi-custom superyachts — Benetti, Sanlorenzo — while the Adriatic coast builds the production ranges of Azimut, Ferretti, Pershing and Riva that fill every Mediterranean marina.
For charterers, Italian means style-forward interiors, beach clubs that prioritise life at anchor, and fleets deep enough that finding your model in the Med is rarely a problem.
