The Perini Navi Group will have its own stand inside the Superyachts Builder Tent in via Coppino. Here visitors will find staff and information on the Group’s activities and can schedule guided tours of the shipyards in Viareggio and La Spezia.

The Group has always combined Refit and Repairs services with the design and construction of large sailing and motor yachts putting their vast experience acquired over the years at the disposition of all kinds of yachts. Their Refit and Repairs services, performed directly at the Group’s own shipyards, use the Picchiotti shipyard in La Spezia as their hub, as there they can count on an infrastructure that is truly unique and on dedicated, experienced personnel.
Lusben the Refit Division of Yachtique have two yards, one in Livorno the other in Viareggio.  Contact their stand at YARE to arrange an on the spot visit to their facility in Viareggio.
