Perini Navi Yachts is the outcome of a creative person and his ability to innovate. Fabio Perini started his career in the paper industry, following his family’s lead. He invented an automated paper machinery product at age 17. Perini brought this technology in a modified form to the yachting industry. In 1983 Perini Navi began to construct mega vessels that could be controlled by a very small crew. The headquarters of Perini Navi are located in Viareggio, Italy, along with the Picchiotti facility. Other facilities exist in La Spezia, Italy, Tuzla, Turkey, and Rhode Island, USA. Perini Navi’s fleet of sailing yachts today measure from 80 feet to 210 feet in length. Perini Navi yachts feature a special sail system with in-house building of alloy masts, and intense weight control for speed.
