Vismara Marine

Custom sail and power from 15 to 35 m, Alessandro Vismara's studio-yard.

Alessandro Vismara, naval architect, founded in 1984 in Viareggio a yard that is first of all a design office: each boat is drawn for its owner, in sail or power. The yard made its name with carbon racer-cruiser sailing yachts.

Production covers 15 to 35 m: performance sailing yachts, power catamarans, and the V-Marine motor series. Builds are light, often in carbon, and interiors highly personalised. The yard also carries out high-end refits on yachts from other brands.

Strengths: every boat designed for its owner, a direct relationship with the founder, and high-end refit as an alternative to new build.
