Founded in 1915 as Campanella shipyard, Mondomarine has had a diverse shipbuilding history.

Acquired by <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/profiles/palumbo--26199" target="_blank">Palumbo Superyachts</a> in November 2018, luxury yacht builder Mondomarine now manufactures aluminium and steel superyachts from 40 to 75 metres. Focused on custom yacht design and manufacturing, the shipyard works with clients from conceptualization and engineering to construction and final delivery. Designers, engineers and yard employees work together to ensure that every detail meets Palumbo Superyachts’ exacting manufacturing standards.Ipanema, Tribù, Sara Star and Serenity are only some of the iconic superyachts of the world-renowned Mondomarine fleet. Currently, the yard has 2 lines, Discovery and Classic, plus the two distinct superyacht concepts Eidos and Sea Falcon.

Founded in 1995 by Naval Architect and Marine Engineer Sergio Cutolo, Hydro Tec was born as an engineering company and, in the early 2000’s has made a natural move into design with instant success, which has been acknowledged by its peers and rewarded with multiple awards.&nbsp;Our approach to work is creative, being creative means having a proactive approach to problems together with the capability of looking at them from different perspectives and stretch our mind to move away from the common solutions and to always identify the most suitable solution. This approach gives huge benefits to all aspects of our work, whether it is to complete the entire design and engineering or when we are working as part of a team. We decided to approach yacht design and engineering with an holistic vision and a creative approach because throughout our experience we saw the industry continuously evolve and become more demanding both in terms of aesthetics and technical content. Our mission is to find the perfect equilibrium between form and function and this integration is possible because we’ve created a team with a common sensitivity to technical and aesthetical &nbsp;issues related to the construction of a yacht.We enjoy working on always new and challenging proposals and our aim is to design yachts able to offer the guests a wide variety of experiences, containing multiple toys and amenities, being comfortable both for fun and for business, being able to reach far and complicated destinations, being performing and eco-friendly.Over its 25 year experience in the yacht industry Hydro Tec has been rewarded with multiple awards and has been working on a wide range of yacht involving nearly every type, from the pocket explorer to the fast alluminium yacht and from the small tender to the 80 metres Mega Yacht.HydroTec is today one of the few companies in the world to provide an holistic design package. This diverse approach offers great advantages for private clients and shipyards.
