Cantiere Navale Franchini

Franchini Yachts - Beautiful boats since 1946. Port of Riccione, over seventy years ago. The shipwright Michele Franchini, known as Guido, in love with the sea and gifted with a good nose, decides to start his business. The nascent seaside tourism is the right propellant: he thus creates an artisanal company for the construction of small fishing boats and boats for the pleasure of vacationers who love Mina and the dolce vita. Leafing through the album of memories, here comes a young architect who graduated in Florence with the teaching of the master of nautical design Pierluigi Spadolini. His name is Massimo Franchini, son of art: it is 1977. Without disavowing the artisan spirit of the company, Massimo transforms the yard into a modern production unit. The goal is to design and build offshore cruising sailboats that can be enjoyed around the world. From the exclusive production of magnificent sailing ships to the design of timeless motoryachts, the step is short: Massimo Franchini, thanks to his strong technological propensity and having made research a real mission, first introduced, we are in 1996, the SCRIMP: Seemann Composites Resin Infusion Molding Process, the technology of vacuum infusion of fiberglass for the production of hulls and superstructures. As always, what comes from what: and this is how, after more than twenty years of success, what is universally recognized as the most elegant Mediterranean "lobster boat" takes light, the year of grace 2004. Nomen omen: the Latin phrase is right for us, because the name of the boat, Emozione 55, suggests what this boat can offer. Research, travel, experiences abroad, especially in the States, they make Massimo Franchini a revolutionary in the nautical world. Today there are four hundred sailing ships and motoryachts designed by Massimo Franchini that the owners hold dear and that are rewarded on the second-hand market. But the story does not end here.
