What Apreamare Yachts does

Apreamare Yachts is an Italian luxury motor yacht and traditional Mediterranean Gozzo boat builder headquartered in Torre Annunziata. The company operates two product lines: the Gozzo range (Gozzo 35, 35 Speedster, 38 Cabin, 42, 45, and 48 Cabin) spanning roughly 11 to 15 meters, and the Maestro range (Maestro 65, 82, and the custom-built Maestro 88 at 27.70m) addressing the larger flybridge motor yacht segment. Its core technology combines handcrafted woodworking traditions from the Sorrento maritime culture with modern fiberglass construction and proprietary Variable Geometry deep-V hull designs developed in collaboration with naval architect Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design. Apreamare offers both traditional shaft-line propulsion and Volvo Penta IPS pod drives across the Gozzo range, and dual MAN V12 power for the flagship, with customization spanning exteriors, interiors, woods, and leathers.

The company's revenue model is built around quote-based, high-ticket hardware sales (new yachts and one-off custom builds) complemented by an after-sales stream through its Apreamare Refit division — a 3,000+ square meter dedicated facility within the Torre Annunziata site that handles restoration, upgrades, and modernization of the existing fleet. Go-to-market is hybrid: an exclusive global dealer network covering approximately twenty markets handles regional sales and customer support, while direct factory transactions from the Torre Annunziata headquarters manage Italian flagship and custom orders. Marketing leverages social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok), email newsletters, interactive e-brochures, and boat show presence at events such as the Genoa Boat Show.

The customer base is concentrated in high-net-worth individuals and families seeking Mediterranean-style yachts for leisure cruising, with secondary demand from existing owners seeking refit services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact the company or its dealers for bespoke quotes. The company traces its lineage to a 1849 Sorrento boatbuilding dynasty, was formally founded as Apreamare S.r.l. in 1988, was part of the Ferretti Group from 2001 until family buyout in March 2010, reincorporated as Apreamare Yachts s.r.l. in 2018, and in 2025 received a strategic investment from Riello Investimenti SGR's Italian Strategy Private Equity fund to accelerate international expansion and new model development.
