ABOUT CANTIERI CAPELLI, ITALY
Established in 1974, the Capelli Boatyard at Spinadesco (Cremona, Northern Italy) has since become the leading manufacturer of boats in Europe. It was Davide Capelli’s love for the River Po, together with his limitless creativity, that gave him the impetus to set up a new business. He started out by building flat-keel riverboats and was soon joined by his young son, Umberto, who concentrated on designing and building canoes for use in competitions. The turning point came at the Genoa Boat Show in 1986, when the Capelli Boatyard unveiled the first 4.7 meter Fisherman – it was rapturously received.
In 1992, the company diversified its manufacturing to produce a line of fiberglass-keel inflatable boats which have gone on to win a substantial share of the market. The boatyard currently manufactures 29 different models of inflatable boats. The success of the ever-evolving Capelli Boatyard can be attributed to two principal factors: the consistent quality of the boats themselves and the forward-looking organizational structure of the company.
Capelli leaves nothing to chance. By channeling the lessons they have learned over the years into the planning and design of every model they build, testing and re-testing each component before assembly, and devoting considerable time and effort to the quality of the finish, they ensure that the vessel they deliver is in perfect condition.
The finest resins, marine plywood, solid teak, stainless steel, Neoprene Hypalon are just some of the high-quality products used in the manufacture of their boats. Another outstanding feature of Capelli-made inflatables is the quality of the finish. The levels of perfection attained can only be reached thanks to the highly motivated and competent team of seasoned professionals, who have developed over the years a remarkable team spirit and an uncompromising dedication to quality.
The facility at Spinadesco incorporates the most advanced boatbuilding technologies available. It is organized into manufacturing cells with each cell responsible for a specific step in the production process: molding, paint, carpentry, mounting accessories, assembly. The manufacturing plant is organized to provide levels of efficiency that are typical of large-scale industrial production lines. These are the secrets of boatbuilding, Capelli-style: young, dynamic management; pioneering solutions that cater to market demand, unparalleled standards of product quality.
Capelli – the ultimate in quality, comfort, safety, design. These values permeate every one of the boats they make. The unrivalled safety of a Capelli boat derives from their dedicated product research – to – production processes – to rigorous sea trials.
