Since 1983 - the Italian yard behind the world's greatest sailing superyachts.
The giants of sail, tamed by a fingertip.
Perini Navi is the Italian yard that changed sailing forever. Founded in Viareggio in 1983 by Fabio Perini, it invented the automated, push-button sail handling that lets a small crew control an enormous rig, making giant sailing yachts a pleasure rather than a challenge.
From that breakthrough came some of the largest and most beautiful sailing superyachts ever built, alongside the Picchiotti motor yacht line. Today part of The Italian Sea Group, Perini Navi remains the reference for anyone who dreams of sailing on a grand scale.
Before Perini Navi, sailing a 50-metre yacht meant a large, hard-working crew. Fabio Perini's automated winches and furling systems changed that, letting a handful of people raise and trim vast sails at the touch of a button.
That single innovation opened the door to ever-larger sailing yachts, and made Perini Navi the name owners trust when they want size, comfort and the pure romance of sail.
From a bold idea in Viareggio to the world's most famous sailing superyachts.
