This transformative move aims to maintain its role as a supply chain partner while establishing its own in-house brand of full custom superyachts.During <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a>' visit to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7053" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri Navali Tureddi (Company)">Cantieri Navali Turredi</a>, we had the opportunity to meet with Alessandro Tureddi and his father Andrea to learn more about the shipyard's operations and future plans.Could you share your history and background, and explain how it shaped your entry into the yachting world?Andrea: Having grown up in Viareggio, a town immersed in the luxury yacht industry, it was only natural for me to develop a strong affinity for this captivating industry. My journey began in the early 1980s, when I started work in commercial construction, focusing on large-scale vessels. Through my experiences in this field, I gained valuable insights and honed my skills, eventually transitioning into supplying hulls to major shipyards.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/283576/image/large-3865411ff6ef5770064fa5571aeef883.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/283576">I also had the opportunity to work as a consultant for several renowned Italian shipyards. With our existing facilities and resources. This transition is a natural progression for us, as we possess the necessary skills, expertise, and infrastructure to undertake this ambitious endeavour.What were the key factors that influenced&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7053" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri Navali Tureddi (Company)">Tureddi Group's</a>&nbsp;shift in direction?Andrea: There were two pivotal conditions that guided our decision. Firstly, we felt strongly that we had the necessary skills and expertise to embark on producing a line of yachts under our own brand. With our experience in producing high-quality hulls for renowned shipyards, we believed in our ability to deliver exceptional craftsmanship.Alessandro: Secondly, market conditions played a significant role in our decision. Currently, shipyards around the world especially in Italy are facing a full order book stretching until 2026/27. This presented us with the perfect opportunity to cater to discerning buyers who appreciate and seek out high quality yachts.We remain committed to continuing both sides of the business, producing hulls for other shipyards as well as our own brand. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/283590/image/large-08362fb55e4918081557456847f1fa92.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/283590">Could you provide an insight into Tureddi's production capabilities?&nbsp;Andrea: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7053" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri Navali Tureddi (Company)">Tureddi’s</a> production capabilities are driven by the expertise and experience of our highly skilled professionals who form the backbone of the yard. The dedication and familial bond within the shipyard plays a significant role in our success. Our workforce has been expanding, and we now have a network of around 100 collaborators/employees who contribute to our production.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/283584/image/large-78d88c85fe5f7f2f0d83696c65d17601.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/283584">Alessandro: In terms of our capacity, we specialise in building steel and aluminium full custom superyachts in the 30-60-metre range. Currently, we operate from three production sites, with two sites dedicated to hull construction and the third site soon to be available for the commencement of a potential new superyacht project. The facilities span over a total of 5,000 square-metres of covered and 2,000 metres of uncovered space, and the location provides direct access to the canal in Navicelli, facilitating the smooth movement of vessels towards the sea. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/283575/image/large-c09454d11ddc9ab379e9a7353515fcc3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/283575">Furthermore, we are in the process of establishing three additional sites, including another at Navicelli and two in Viareggio, which offer direct access to the sea. Once these sites are fully operational, they will significantly enhance our construction capacity, allowing us to produce approximately 5 to 6 yachts per year, whilst still continuing with the hull production.This strategic expansion plan demonstrates our commitment to meeting the growing demand for high-quality superyachts and further establishing ourselves as a leading player in the industry.Could you elaborate on your business model?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/283593/image/large-0409ebd259f22492154183715f1cd76d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/283593">Alessandro: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7053" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri Navali Tureddi (Company)">Tureddi’s</a> aim is to maintain a flexible and integrated framework that focuses on our core competencies and high-value activities throughout the entire production cycle.By adopting this strategic approach of direct control over the production cycle of each vessel or superyacht, we strive to maintain a balance between utilising our in-house capabilities and outsourcing non-essential activities. This ensures that our expertise and capabilities are leveraged in the most effective way, optimising efficiency and achieving the highest standards of quality. Whether it involves project management, design, procurement, or production, our goal is maximising our strengths and delivering exceptional results.Alessandro: Moreover, we have taken the unique step to establish luxury bars, with one already operational in Viareggio another one set to open in Mayfair. These bars serve as spaces where potential owners, crew and other stakeholders can socialise, interact, and network. This decision aligns with our commitment to developing a direct network and maintaining close relationships with potential owners, rather than relying solely on brokerage houses. By engaging with clients in a more personal and direct manner, we can better understand their needs and deliver tailored solutions.This streamlined approach will allow us to be efficient and to consistently deliver exceptional results, all while maintaining a strong emphasis on quality and client satisfaction. We believe that by continuously refining and fine-tuning our business model, we can stay at the forefront of the industry and exceed the expectations of our clients.What is your future vision?Alessandro: We want to continue the successful trajectory of our ongoing expansion endeavours and are actively seeking further growth opportunities, particularly in the American and Middle Eastern markets.

The larger two models in the series features an upper deck owner's suite dedicated entirely to the owner.

Cecchi explains, "This kind of dynamism give to all the guests big flexibility in sea life and, in case, allow different customers to change the final interior layout during the design process."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277494/image/large-f9e245973a15923910801f6d827a47e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277494"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277495/image/large-27cdfcf2f27cdb4eb23090b78d7e9c4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277495">When asked to describe the series, Cecchi adds "This new series of crossover yachts would be a balance between technical features of expedition yacht, and explorer yachts on the market. As you can see the decks distribution is more centred then explorer or expedition yacht, to give to each project the right balance between exterior areas and interior spaces and to emphasise comfort and connection between exterior and interior thank to the openable system for doors and windows. This series also think about owners privacy, giving on the smallest yacht a separate area to the bow with a starboard access, on the 45-metre the owner area is designated on the aft part of the UD and in the biggest yacht we find a compete owner deck on the UUD. All the crew members and captain have these spaces separate from guests for an easy work and living."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/277504/image/large-73d74e273bc9dda090e7283c3826c878.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/277504">"All the models offer more comfort and bigger exterior areas than the competitors, obviously based on size, and give to each customer the possibility to play with the interior destination of the common areas easily depending on their needs."
