Amico Marine expands into 30m yacht refit market through new Genoa facility

A new facility for the refit and maintenance of sailing and motor yachts up to 30 metres has opened in Genoa, Italy, bringing together two local shipyards and sailmaker North Sails. Named Il Polo della Nautica (The Nautical Hub), the facility is located within Genoa’s Eastern Waterfront and was developed by shipyards Gatti and Genoa Sea Service, alongside North Sails, which has relocated its Italian headquarters to the site.

Amico Marine is involved in the project through Gatti, which was acquired by parent company Amico & Co in 2024 to expand its refit services into the medium-sized yacht and tender market. Amico Marine is separate from Amico & Co, the Genoa-based superyacht refit and repair group.
