Abstract
The Italian nautical industrial sector has always been an excellence of international level. From 2014 we are witnessing a gradual recovery of the market, after the crash of 2011. The recovery is slow and approaches around 18% uphill. This phenomenon is due to different key factors that refer to the concept and characteristics of the particular products. The first condition is the introduction of new materials and new process technologies. These have allowed the reorganization and optimization of the production system, according to the new needs expressed at global level. Market of maxy and mega yachts is a very fertile field of investigation, both for sailing yachts that motor boats; the interest is expressed thanks to their intrinsic value of “luxury goods”. The results of research in technology and engineering contribute to the choices made by the team designers, who see in the introduction of every possible form of innovation, an added value to the improvement of life on board.
