Cantiere Navale St. Margherita Ligure

Cantiere Navale Santa Margherita Ligure, commonly known as Cantieri Santa Margherita, was established in 1960 in Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy, a location with a history of nautical activities. The shipyard focused on the construction of sailing yachts and, over time, expanded its production to include motor yachts. During its operational period, the yard emphasized traditional boatbuilding techniques while also integrating contemporary naval architecture and construction methods. The company built sailing yachts for both racing and cruising, developing a reputation for its robust construction and seaworthiness. Cantieri Santa Margherita was particularly active during the 1960s and 1970s, contributing to the Italian yachting scene with various designs. The shipyard's output included custom builds alongside a series of production models. While primarily concentrating on the domestic and European markets, some of its yachts were sold internationally. The yacht builder eventually ceased operations, contributing to the history of Italian yacht manufacturing.
