Apreamare Review

Apreamare Yachts have been around for nearly a century, originating on the Sorrento coast of Italy. The Sorrento Coast has been distinctly known in the boating industry for its specialized construction of premium boats and yachts. For generations the “Gozzo of Sorrento” has become an ultimate classic in the industry, in which Apreamare yachts base their entire line of yachts. The classic gozzo model has been around for centuries, due to its unique structure. It dates back as far as ancient times, where there was a boat found in recent years under the ashes of the ancient Roman town of Ercolano. The main characteristic of the gozzo is the double pointed hull which uses the same shape in both the bow and in the stern. This classic model of the gozzo has since remained unchanged until it began being redesigned around the time of World War II.

Gozzo boats ultimately became workboats thereafter. The propulsion of the gozzo was due to the Lateen sail and oars, as well as the pointed stern. They also became fishing boats when the boat was guided by stern-rowing. The stern finally became the workplace of the boat, in which its distinct structure yielded strong stability and durability when the boat would be in calm waters. Apreamare launched a new generation of the famous gozzo design. Each boat still uses the traditional design, but is now handcrafted using the most advanced technology and structural design, as well as a different hull for faster speed. Its prototype boat is always wooden made, but the finished products are always made of hand-laminated fiberglass hulls.

Pricing

New Apreamare yachts can range anywhere from $350,000 and up depending on the size and model. Used Apreamare yachts that are from recent years can also begin closer to a newer yacht price. Older models can be significantly lower in price.
