CBI Navi

CBI Navi, originally Cantieri Navali Intermarine, was established in 1984 in Viareggio, Italy. The shipyard specialized in the construction of steel and aluminum motor yachts. Over its history, CBI Navi created a range of custom and semi-custom yachts, many of which are characterized by their metal construction and internal volume. The shipyard became part of the FIPA Group in 2005. Under this ownership, CBI Navi continued to build superyachts, focusing on full-custom projects. The company's production facilities remained in Viareggio, a region with a long tradition in Italian yacht building. CBI Navi's operations experienced periods of both activity and reduced output depending on market conditions and strategic decisions by its parent company. Throughout its operational history, CBI Navi consistently offered bespoke yacht construction, adapting to the specific requirements of individual clients. The shipyard's output primarily consisted of steel hulls with aluminum superstructures, which allowed for customization in terms of design and layout. Key characteristics of CBI Navi yachts often included expansive interiors and robust construction. The shipyard worked with a number of designers and naval architects to realize its projects. CBI Navi's market positioning was centered on custom and semi-custom superyachts, generally above 30 meters in length. The company aimed to provide a product that combined traditional Italian craftsmanship with contemporary yacht design and engineering. Despite changes in market dynamics and ownership, CBI Navi maintained a focus on delivering custom metal-hulled yachts. The shipyard has delivered yachts that are still in operation globally, reflecting its presence in the superyacht sector.
