Yachts for Sale in Italy

Italy is one of the world's leading yacht-building nations, but a Sanlorenzo may be lying in Monaco, a Benetti in Greece and a Feadship in Italy. We keep builder nationality and current location as separate facts.

The verified inventory above shows only yachts physically located — or viewable — in Italy. The Italian-built section shows yachts from Italian builders wherever they are, with current location shown only when verified.

For many buyers Italy is where they meet builders, inspect yachts and take delivery, while the right yacht itself may be anywhere. We run the search internationally and bring it back to Italy when that helps.

Italy combines large-scale series production, semi-custom and fully custom yards, interior and engineering specialists, refit capacity and a deep pool of captains and crew. That breadth makes it as relevant for new-build conversations as for brokerage.

Liguria — including Genoa and La Spezia — and the Tuscan coast around Viareggio are the best-known concentrations of yacht building and refit. Ancona and the Adriatic coast are also home to established yards.

These are working shipbuilding regions. A yard's presence in a town does not mean any particular yacht for sale is there, or that it can be viewed.

Visiting a builder shows you its processes, people and projects; viewing a yacht for sale is a separate arrangement with its seller or central agent. We arrange each on its own terms and never present a yard tour as access to a sale yacht.

Italian yards offer everything from series models to full custom. Comparing build slots, specification freedom, delivery timing and contract terms is often as important as comparing brokerage yachts.

We do not list current new-build projects without builder confirmation. Ask us and we will gather the current position directly.

A pre-owned yacht can be used immediately and its history can be documented. We set out survey findings, refit history and running costs alongside a new-build route so the decision is clear.

A sea trial shows how a yacht performs underway; an independent survey assesses condition, systems and compliance. They answer different questions and most buyers need both.

Italy has significant refit capacity. A yacht in refit at an Italian yard is not automatically for sale, and current location, current shipyard, sale status and viewing availability are recorded separately.

Warranty terms, their transferability on resale and the builder's after-sales network vary by yard and contract. We ask for the documentation rather than assuming cover is in place.

A shipyard's sales team represents the yard. Lund Group represents the buyer: we compare builders and brokerage options side by side, coordinate independent specialists and support negotiation on your behalf.

VAT treatment depends on the yacht's status, its private or commercial use, the buyer, the ownership structure and where the yacht will operate. Italy is an EU member state, so EU VAT rules apply, but no single rule fits every acquisition.

We do not describe a yacht as VAT-paid or exempt without documentation. Take advice from qualified tax and legal advisers before signing.

An Italian-flagged yacht may be lying elsewhere; a yacht delivered in Italy may never return; a foreign-flagged yacht may be berthed in Liguria. Only a verified current location or confirmed viewing places a yacht on this page.

Summer berths in popular Italian harbours can be scarce. A current berth normally does not transfer with the sale unless documented. We help plan berthing early without promising any specific space.

Sardinia is a summer cruising and charter destination in its own right; we treat it separately from Italy's building regions.

First-time buyers often benefit from chartering in Italy first and a clear explanation of running costs. Existing owners usually want a sharper comparison, a trade-up plan or help selling in parallel.

Many yachts are marketed through a central agent and offered through co-brokerage. Asking prices are the seller's terms, not valuations or transaction prices, and sale status can change quickly. We confirm details before presenting them as current.

Off-market means a genuine, confirmed opportunity shared privately — never a rumour. We present it only once the seller or their representative has confirmed it.

A brief might combine a builder visit in Liguria, a viewing on the Tuscan coast and a surveyor meeting in a single trip. We can coordinate private aviation, ground transport and discreet security for principals and family offices.
