VALDETTARO SHIPYARD
Valdettaro is one of those names that quite rightly make up the history of
Italian sailing, a company that was initially set up in Le Grazie (SP) with a
boatyard where numerous prestigious boats have been restored to their original
splendour and a marina, located in Fezzano (SP). Backed by this experience the
company made the decision to acquire an area of about 40,000 sq./m, offering
10,000 sq./m of covered surface with the possibility of expanding by another
3,000 sq./m. The covered area includes a shed of about 7,000 sq./m with an
internal height of over 20 m, a building of about 700 sq./m used for workshops
and tool storage and a three storey block of offices of about 2,000 sq./m.
All this is situated in the industrial zone of Massa-Carrara, in the area being
reconverted and it is particularly suitable for operators in the sailing sector
as it is just 3 km from Marina di Carrara and has good links with the main
cities in the North of Italy. Thanks to its favourable position and the
equipment owned by Valdettaro Shipyard, the company has become a point of
reference for owners of yachts up to 45 metres in length for refitting, laying-
up, ordinary and special maintenance such as fitting out and important
alterations. Services offered by Valdettaro Shipyard, operating in partnership
with Marina del Fezzano and the Cantiere Valdettaro, range from mechanical,
electrical and electronic assistance to wood and metal carpentry, repairs to
hulls in fibreglass, wood and metal, offices or mini-apartments for rent,
painting of hulls and interiors in controlled temperature surroundings, sail and
soft furnishing services, used oil disposal, storage for sails and on-board
materials, fire-fighting services and used battery disposal.
Activities carried
out by the company also include reworking of hull bottoms, teak decks, contract
work on moulds, custom constructions, fitting out of interiors and osmosis-
fighting repairs. In other words, a real nautical centre for important boats,
situated in what can quite rightly be considered the cradle of great Italian
sailing, the zone around Viareggio and the province of Massa-Carrara.
