More Than Fiberglass: The Builder That Requires Fully Bespoke Support Vessels
The Final Detail: Tenders as a Statement of Identity
In the world of superyachts, the tender is the first and last impression a vessel makes, functioning as a vital extension of the mother ship. Palumbo Superyachts, a leading international player in construction, understands that this essential piece of equipment must reflect the same commitment to beauty, quality, and personality as the yacht itself. Their solution is a strategic alliance with Novamarine, a prestigious name in the pleasure segment, to produce fully customized tenders for their entire brand portfolio.
The Made-in-Italy Synergy: Design Meets Craftsmanship
This commercial agreement is rooted in a shared commitment to quality and personalization. As Giuseppe Palumbo, Sole Director of Palumbo Superyachts, commented, this collaboration is a “natural step” that allows them to combine performance, design, and craftsmanship to create truly bespoke products. The process is highly synergistic: the architects appointed by Palumbo Superyachts work directly with Novamarine’s Technical Department to configure each tender. This ensures that the final product is high-quality, handcrafted, and proudly Made-in-Italy.
The Portfolio Strategy: Customization Across All Brands
The partnership extends comprehensive customization to all Palumbo Superyachts brands: ISA Yachts, EXTRA Yachts, Columbus Yachts, and Mondomarine. This means an owner commissioning a modern composite yacht (EXTRA) or an elegant steel megayacht (ISA) will receive a tender proposal that is perfectly tailor-made to reflect that specific vessel’s identity and operational needs. Novamarine’s full catalogue is available, ensuring a proposal that meets any client requirement, confirming their belief that personalization is a fundamental part of the boat-building process.
Industrial Backbone: Pushing the Boundaries
Palumbo Superyachts brings serious industrial muscle to the table. Since its inception in 2008, the Group has strategically expanded its portfolio, acquiring ISA Yachts and Mondomarine and establishing the innovative EXTRA Yachts line. Their shipyards are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including some of the largest travel lifts in the region. This structural capability allows Palumbo to push the boundaries of yachting while maintaining a strong focus on innovation and client satisfaction—a philosophy mirrored in their choice of tender partner.
The Verdict: The Final Word on Onboard Integration
The alliance between Palumbo Superyachts and Novamarine sets a definitive standard for onboard service. It affirms that in the upper echelons of yachting, standardization is unacceptable for tenders. By providing vessels that perfectly integrate with the aesthetics and identity of the mother ship, the collaboration guarantees a fully integrated onboard experience. For owners, this partnership confirms that every detail, down to the chase boat, will reflect a precise idea of personalized quality.
