The Managing Team

The Casati brothers gained their expertise directly on the field, building a broad experience at their father Angelo’s yacht outfitting yard, where he dedicated his life to the construction of various types of vessels. Alongside this hands-on training, they also pursued specialized studies and continuous education on various industry's subjects.

This journey led them to take over one of the leading nautical consultancy firms from its founder Enrico Finkelberg. Over the years, they have navigated the technical and regulatory changes in the industry, from entering the European community to the exponential growth in the size and complexity of vessels. They have also embraced the commissioning of innovative, environmentally friendly units powered by batteries and hydrogen.

Their ongoing desire to learn, understand, and explore every aspect of the yachting and shipbuilding world has made their studio a key reference for the development of groundbreaking projects. Their firm is a reliable partner able to provide solid solutions in this ever-evolving sector.
