Canados prides itself on being one of the only Italian yacht builders to manufacture almost everything in-house. Our design, engineering, and technical offices provide all the calculations necessary for structural resistance, plans, and the design of most systems.

This results in total flexibility to positively answer most demands from owners. Apart from the vertical integration of all specific engineering, we also manufacture everything in-house including our composite hulls, decks, and superstructures.

But keeping close control of our production does not stop with manufacturing the “shell”, as we also integrated production of most of our stainless-steel hardware on site. The in-house creation of our own interiors has also contributed to our unique reputation for quality. Our carpenters use the latest 5-axis CNC machine but are all highly trained traditional carpenters.

Canados WAS
‍‍FOUNDED IN 1946.

Our historical shipyard is in Rome, just 7km from the international airport of Fiumicino. Canados was founded in 1946, on an ex-hydroplane base. The Italian Navy, coastguard, and Italian harbor masters commissioned the first vessels built by Canados. At the time, the master carpenters who founded the cooperative that would soon become Canados (a contraction of Cantieri Navali di Ostia) quickly achieved a revered reputation worldwide.


In 1953, while attending the launching of eight fast interceptor patrol boats, the representative of a royal family of a Gulf emirate fell in love with the mastery of Canados’ carpenters. His immediate reaction was to enquire if the yard would be able to build a yacht for His Highness. This was a challenge gladly accepted, an opportunity to express their art in a situation where only perfection would be deemed acceptable. Since then, more than 800 Canados yachts have been delivered.In the nearly eight decades since delivering its first yacht, Canados has continuously strived to remain at the cutting edge of yacht building technologies, techniques, and production processes.

Feel the power of precision.
Made to perform. Born to explore.
Sculpted by the sea, designed for thrill.
Excellence is not built overnight.
Perfection is not an option, it’s a process.
From raw elements to refined elegance.
Born from craftsmanship, built for the sea.
Handmade. Heart-driven.
We don’t build boats, we sculpt emotions.
Built by artisans, not machines.
Crafted by hand, guided by heritage.
