Perini Navi Yachts Review

Perini Navi is an Italian shipyard based in Viareggio, which is in Italy's Tuscany Province. The company was founded by Fabio Perini, an Italian entrepreneur and inventor, in 1983, and has since merged with the historic Picchiotti Shipyard. Perini Navi mostly builds large, luxury sailing yachts, mainly of ketch design and measuring between 20 and 60 meters. It also builds luxury super motor yachts of between 40 and 70 meters. The company has a division in Turkey, where all of the ships' hulls are built before delivery to Viareggio for finishing off. Fabio Perini, inspired by his passion for sailing, started the business with the intention of designing and manufacturing yachts in the mega-sailing yacht (150-feet plus) category. His yachts are full of the latest technology and incorporate several designs that have been patented by Perini. These include the captive reel winch, an electronically controlled system of winches that allows a small crew to sail these massive yachts. Indeed, it is claimed that the yachts can be crewed by a single person.

One of the special features that you’ll find on Perini Navi yachts is their sail structure. The alloy masts are built at the shipyard and sail trimming is carried out by innovative winches, giving huge control over the heavy sails. The interiors of their yachts have been designed with comfort in mind, and are extremely large and roomy. Some of the innovative techniques invented by Fabio Perini are so revolutionary that the rest of the sailing world looks on them as their standards. The development of the company has included the takeover of other companies that met with their production needs. One of their more famous boats is the Maltese Falcon, which carries a radical square rig and is the largest yacht in the world.
