Sciallino Boats

It’s the entrepreneurial spirit of Mario Sciallino to found the homonym shipyard in Ceriale, town where he learnt the art of boat hand-building working as carpenter at the production site of Patrone, operative in the village since 1922.

The freedom to sail in any sea

It was the strong passion for goiters, born during the years as an apprentice in Patrone, that led Mario Sciallino to inaugurate the homonym shipyard sixty years ago in Ceriale; the beating heart of the production of Ligurian goiters. The entrepreneurial spirit of Sciallino allowed the shipyard to achieve important milestones over the years.

Developing into a highly established name not only in Italy but also at an international level; reaching as far as Japan, where the hybrid version was conferred the green award at the Yokohama Boat Show.

All Sciallino gozzo boats are characterised by a high degree of classicism, functionality, and power in navigation. These are symbols of constant research for the modern combined with a strong connection to the Ligurian nautical tradition.

Long-lasting reliability & timeless style

There is no need to read the brand, even from a distance a Sciallino boat is immediately recognizable. If PierMichele and Ornella Moreno, combining entrepreneurial skills, vision and passion, have made the preservation and evolution of the Ligurian gozzo possible today, it is thanks to the history of Sciallino.

Those boats so coveted for their comfort, reliability and bespoke quality have evolved, since 2015, under the guidance of the Moreno family, owner of the brand and fleet, to become contemporary while maintaining faith in their heritage of excellence. And they will continue to be contemporary, as it happens with truly timeless objects.

The boutique shipyard

The shipyard occupies a private estate of 5,000 square meters in the immediate vicinity of the Autostrada dei Fiori, exit Albenga. The area can be reached by heavy lorries for the transport of boats with the possibility of manoeuvring within the site area itself.

It consists of several buildings dedicated to the various shipbuilding activities, all equipped with systems up to the latest required regulation, including a photovoltaic system that allows the use of solar energy for various production processes.
