Persico Marine

Persico Marine is a specialized division of the Persico Group, focused on the engineering and construction of high-performance custom yachts. While traditionally known for sailing, the Italian company has recently expanded its portfolio to include the development of advanced motorboats, applying its racing expertise to high-speed power projects and luxury tenders.

Since its founding in 1976, the company has established itself as a technical leader in the competitive racing sector, manufacturing boats for the America’s Cup, the Ocean Race, and the Maxi class. Operating from production facilities in Nembro and La Spezia, the firm utilizes aerospace-grade technology and advanced carbon fiber composites to deliver weight-optimized yachts for professional racing teams and private owners.

As part of a larger multinational group with a presence in the automotive and aerospace industries, the company benefits from cross-sector innovation in materials science and automation. This enables the team to manage the entire development cycle, from initial concept and complex structural engineering to the production of high-precision molds and prototypes.

• Custom Racing Yacht Construction: The company is recognized for building some of the fastest sailing boats in the world, including hulls for the Volvo Ocean 65 fleet and foil-driven AC75 yachts.
• Performance Cruising Yachts: Expertise in the delivery of large-scale Maxi yachts such as Kauris IV and My Song, where the focus is on combining high-speed capabilities with luxury interior standards.
• Advanced Composite Manufacturing: Utilization of sophisticated mold-making and curing techniques to ensure structural integrity and performance under extreme offshore conditions.
• Global Engineering Support: Leveraging the group’s international network in the USA, Mexico, China, and Germany to provide technical services and manufacturing precision on a global scale.
• Foil and Component Technology: Engineering and production of critical performance components, including canting keel mechanisms and hydrofoils, which are essential for modern high-speed navigation.

By integrating industrial automation with traditional craftsmanship, the company serves the most demanding segments of the yachting industry. Their ability to translate complex designs into functional, high-speed yachts has made them a primary partner for naval architects and racing syndicates seeking to push the boundaries of nautical engineering.
