Perini Navi is an Italian specialist in large sailing superyachts and is now part of The Italian Sea Group. The brand is recognised for combining the traditional experience of offshore sailing with engineering systems that make exceptionally large sail plans manageable. Its history includes innovations in automated sail handling, hydraulic systems and lifting keels, developed to make long-distance sailing more practical for owners and crew.

The company focuses on highly customised sailing projects rather than conventional production cruisers. Its design and engineering process addresses hull form, rig loads, materials, onboard accommodation and the complex interaction between sailing controls and propulsion machinery. Aluminium construction and bespoke interior design are central to many of its modern projects.

Among the recent programmes is the 60-metre sailing ketch Katana, completed under The Italian Sea Group. The project combines an aluminium sailing platform and advanced rig engineering with interiors by Rémi Tessier. Perini Navi's earlier fleet also includes important large-yacht projects that shaped the development of the modern sailing-superyacht category.

Owners considering a large custom sailing yacht can look to Perini Navi for a design-led project where naval engineering, sailing systems and onboard living spaces are developed as one package.
