Cantieri di Pisa presents its new World wide web showroom. Founded by Gino Bini and Antonio Sostegni unofficially in 1945, and officially in 1956 Cantieri di Pisa started life in the commercial harbour of Pisa, and will move in 1959 on the limits of the Arno river, a place which as at today is still home. The first yachts are wooden sailing yachts; the 20mt Tyrsa in 1945 and the 30mt Kerilos will follow in 1950. In 1961 the 10 meters Jupiter is launched, starting the motor boat semi-series which interestingly are always named to celestial bodies, constellations, and planets from our solar system; Akhir, Kaitos, Kitapha, Pegasus, Polaris, and Saturno the names being used. Pierluigi Spadolini will be the architect of all the Pisa motor boats up till the early noughties with Carlo Galeazzi taking design duties in 2008 with the Akhir 108 model. Cantieri di Pisa had various owners onwards from 2001 when German fund investor Dresdner Kleiwort Capital takes 51% of ownership, with Bini and Sostegni keeping the remaining. In 2004 Camuzzi Group takes 91% of ownership and follows a year later with a total buyout. Onward from 2010 Cantieri di Pisa enters in crisis with various owners being rumoured of buying out the company every season, eventually Alessandro Falcai buys the yard in 2015 and sells to Sea Finance in 2018. Since 2021 Cantieri di Pisa is owned by current owner Enrico Gennasio from Alfagomma Group, a fittings firm from Lombardy in Italy who branches out in all industrial sectors. Over its half a century plus of history Cantieri di Pisa has build over 600 yachts, in semi-custom or custom made to order builds, at first its construction was strictly in wood, but in the nineties the yacht builder made a switch to fiberglass, first as a choice and then totally switching to the material. The Akhir series which launched with the wooden 16 motor yacht in 1972 proved a successful line which expanded over the years in always bigger sizes and updating styling with the S update to 22 model in 1986 proving a popular one. Another timeless looking classic Cantieri di Pisa is the seventies introduced Kitaplha 15 which still gets admiring views whenever one gets to see a well conditioned unit. Cantieri di Pisa largest ever build is the Carlo Galeazzi designed Akhir 153 which launched in 2012 and built in only one unit. Currently Cantieri di Pisa offers five models in three lines, starting with the Tender 50 of the Chase Boat line, going to the 80 GT and 80 Veloce of the Fast Commuter, and the Akhir 110, 122, and 140 of the Flybridge series.
