CANTIERI MAGAZZÙ

Cantieri Magazzù has its roots in 1960s Palermo, where the vision and design talent of Professor Alfredo Magazzù gave rise to a research journey that blends naval engineering, innovation, and a genuine passion for the sea.
From the very beginning, the shipyard stood out for its experimental approach and its ability to develop cutting-edge technical solutions, driving forward a series of projects and patents that anticipated industry trends.

Every vessel is the result of artisanal craftsmanship passed down through generations and continuous technological research, a true expression of Made in Italy, where beauty, innovation, and a love for the sea come together.

MAGAZZÙ SHIPYARDS ARE AN ESTABLISHED PLAYER IN THE FIELD OF SHIP DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.

Cantieri Magazzù embodies a tradition of excellence in constant evolution, the result of a steadfast commitment to research and innovation.

This journey has led to the development of increasingly high-performance hulls, next-generation stabilization systems, and structural solutions designed to enhance performance, efficiency, and safety in all sea conditions.

Advanced Industrial Research and Development

The activity has been in the field of innovative naval and aeronautical systems, with research and industrial innovations conducted as part of intensive collaborations with leading naval and aeronautical industries.
