Pininfarina crafts unique navigation experiences by designing yachts that blend high performance, innovation, and beauty. With a team of specialists and access to the most advanced technologies in design development, Pininfarina excels in creating exceptional nautical experiences.

We don’t limit ourselves to the aesthetic beauty of the vessel but design every aspect considering how it will be experienced. The way in which the internal and external spaces are perceived is a key element in Pininfarina’s nautical design.

Refitting

Pininfarina’s refit program caters to yacht owners who wish to modify their vessel, whether it’s a minor alteration to the interior furnishings or a more extensive intervention, such as modifying superstructures or the stern cockpit. Our team collaborates closely with the shipyard and naval architect to fulfil the client’s requests.

Yacht interior design

The interiors of boats are crafted by a multidisciplinary team of yacht designers and interior architects who guide the client throughout the design phases. This includes defining the layout, selecting furnishings, choosing materials, finishes, and colours.

The client is at the heart of the creative process, and the interior spaces are created while respecting the requests for habitability, functionality, and aesthetics, harmonizing living aspects with technical constraints.

Bespoke yacht projects

Pininfarina has always had a deep connection with the sea. The passion for freedom and beauty, which has found many expressions in the automotive world, has also given birth to many gems in the nautical sector since the 1960s.

In the design of yachts for private clients, Pininfarina’s approach is centred around the individual, positioning them as the epicentre of the project with their desires and dreams.

From the automotive sector, Pininfarina inherited the ability to manage relationships with “special clients” from high society (royal families, entrepreneurs, actors, and actresses) who seek personalized and tailored solutions in the world of yachting. Among the most famous are G. Cinquanta for Gianni Agnelli, Corsara for Aga Khan, and the recent Tango WallyCento.

Creating a new design language

Pininfarina provides a new experience in the nautical sector through design: projects that combine enhanced performance, innovation, and aesthetic excellence. Creating a consistent design language for a complete range of yachts that redefines the brand’s identity.
