About Cervetti Catamarans

Cervetti Catamarans is an Italian shipyard developing and building catamarans for both professional charter operators and private owners. We are also the company behind the Dufour 48 Sail, alongside our proprietary Cervetti 44 Sail and Cervetti 44 Power models.

What makes Cervetti different is that we do not design boats in isolation.
Our approach is shaped by real, hands-on operational experience.

Over the past years, our team has been directly involved in charter operations, managing and operating fleets across key Mediterranean markets. That experience influences every decision we make in design, engineering, and production. We build catamarans that work in real life — boats that are reliable, practical, easy to maintain, and enjoyable to use.

Our Philosophy

At Cervetti Catamarans, we believe boating should not be complicated.

A catamaran should simply work — safely, reliably, predictably, and without unnecessary complexity. This philosophy defines everything we do, from layout decisions and onboard systems to construction methods and long-term usability.

Our mission is to develop catamarans that are:

  • ● Safe and reliable in a wide range of sea conditions
  • ● Comfortable and functional for both charter and private use
  • ● Easy to operate and maintain, maximizing time on the water
  • ● Modern, innovative, and performance-oriented, without sacrificing practicality

Built for Charter Operators

For charter professionals, success is not measured only in speed or styling. It is measured in reliability, uptime, ease of operation, and return on investment.

Our catamarans are designed to:

  • ● Maximize time on the water with minimal downtime
  • ● Simplify maintenance and reduce operational complexity
  • ● Provide practical, guest-friendly layouts
  • ● Deliver consistent, predictable performance across seasons

This is not theory. It comes directly from daily operational demands and years of real charter experience.

Built for Private Owners

For private owners, a catamaran is more than a product — it is a personal space and a way of life.

That is why we offer a flexible approach focused on real onboard living:

  • ● The possibility to participate in the build process
  • ● Flexible configuration and customization options
  • ● Layouts and solutions based on how the owner wants to live on board

Rather than forcing owners into rigid, predefined configurations, we develop boats around real usage, personal preferences, and long-term enjoyment.

A Proven Foundation

Cervetti Catamarans is built on a strong production and technical base.

The shipyard was acquired to continue production of the proven and successful Dufour 48 Sail Catamaran model. Over the past 6 years, we have produced more than 70 Dufour 48 catamarans, most of which are operating in charter fleets worldwide. The Dufour 48 continues to sell strongly, offering exactly what charter operators need: reliability, practical layouts, ease of use, and solid long-term value.

In addition, the shipyard has produced more than 10 Cervetti 44 Sail units & 2 Cervetti 44 Power units, further strengthening our expertise in catamaran design and construction.

This proven platform gives us:

  • ● A solid technical and production foundation
  • ● Deep understanding of long-term operational realities
  • ● Continuous feedback from real operators and owners
  • ● The confidence to develop new proprietary models under the Cervetti brand

Our Models: Dufour 48, Cervetti 44 Sail & 44 Power

Building on this experience, we are expanding our range with the Cervetti 44 Sail and Cervetti 44 Power, developed in collaboration with Skyron Design, a leading yacht design studio. This partnership combines practical functionality, modern engineering, and refined aesthetics to create catamarans that are ready for immediate use and designed for real-world performance.

Both the sail and power versions are engineered for comfort, usability, performance, and operational efficiency.

These models are created for:

  • ● Professional charter operators
  • ● Private owners looking for reliable, modern catamarans

Real Boats. Real Markets.

Cervetti catamarans are not concepts or prototypes. They are already operating internationally and are visible to charter operators, owners, and clients.

The first Cervetti 44 Sail vessels are already actively sailing in Croatia, Portugal, Italy and Australia, while the Cervetti 44 Power has been delivered to Croatia and Dubai, UAE.

This international presence demonstrates the trust placed in our boats and confirms the reliability and appeal of our designs in real operating conditions.

  • ● Croatia
  • ● Italy
  • ● Greece
  • ● Turkey
  • ● Spain

That is what we build.
