Based out of Viareggio, Italy, shipyard Rossinavi specialises in the construction of full-custom steel and aluminium superyachts ranging from 30 metres to over 70 metres in length. Founded in 1980 by brothers Claudio and Paride Rossi, this Italian builder is known for its innovative bespoke design, which ranges from explorer yachts to high-performance yachts with distinctive architectural designs.
Rossinavi has grown from its more humble beginnings as Cantiere Rossi, a shipyard that initially concentrated on the repairs of fishing boats and industrial metalwork. In the 1990s, the yard expanded its operations to include the construction of passenger and coastal vessels, frequently collaborating with established superyacht builders. Later in 2007, the shipyard rebranded as Rossinavi and started building custom superyachts under its own brand. Today, Rossinavi is characterised by its blend of traditional Italian craftsmanship with innovative engineering solutions. The yard’s DNA centres on delivering completely custom designs, typically constructing only two to three yachts annually to maintain exclusivity and quality. A significant milestone came with the introduction of its BluE line concept in the 2020s, representing the shipyard’s approach to sustainable yachting through biomimetic design inspired by phytoplankton efficiency. Outside of new builds, Rossinavi provides refit services and customisation programmes. The shipyard’s current fleet of superyachts includes notable projects such as the 70-metre High Power III (ex Numptia), the award-winning 62.6-metre Utopia IV launched in 2018, and the distinctive 65.7-metre yacht Alchemy. Most recently, the 59.4-metre expedition yacht Akula was delivered in April 2024, marking Rossinavi’s entry into the expedition market. With 32 yachts in its global fleet and eight in build, demand for Rossinavi custom superyachts remains strong.
