Raffaelli Costruzioni Nautiche was founded by Renato Raffaelli in 1962, with the aim of building state-of-the-art pleasure wooden boats. Additionally, it was one of the first Italian shipyards to introduce stratified fiberglass, a real turning point from the past, when wood was the only available material. Model after model, the company grew to produce more than 1,500 boats. The first one was the Compass Rose, followed by the Regal 35’, a boat that marked the shift from wood to fiberglass for the hull and deck. Among the most famous models produced by the shipyard, we find the Typhoon family in the ‘70s (Typhoon Day, Fly and Supertyphoon), as well as the Storm and Mistral at the end of the 80s, and the Maestrale, Levante and Shamal in more recent years. Currently, the shipyard manufactures Flybridge from 42 to 70 feet, and Open of 40 and 57 feet.
