Enrico Gennasio takes direct operational control of Cantieri di Pisa, accelerating the Italian shipyard’s relaunch, production growth, refit expansion and new-build programme.
Enrico Gennasio, Sole Shareholder and Director of Cantieri di Pisa, takes over direct operational leadership at the storied Pisa-based shipyard, increasing his involvement in management and giving a new boost to the relaunch process set in motion with the company’s acquisition. Cantieri di Pisa has entered a new stage in its development, one that will strengthen the shipyard’s organisation to support production growth, refit business consolidation, and construction progress on new yacht projects. As part of this process, Enrico Gennasio has taken on the role of Sole Director, with the aim of ensuring that the ownership has even more direct strategic oversight of the shipyard’s operations and the company’s growth plan.
Since the change of direction in 2021, the ownership has invested in the company’s skill base and in safeguarding the workforce, gradually bringing production back on line and restoring Cantieri di Pisa to its position as a strong competitor on the international yachting scene. Today, the shipyard has consolidated its presence in the refit sector, at the same time as returning to its leading role in the new-build segment. Currently under construction at the yard is the custom 40-metre yacht already sold to a European owner—the first all-metal boat in Cantieri di Pisa’s history. Delivery is planned for summer 2027, followed by presentation at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
But this new stage in the Shipyard’s growth is already looking further ahead. Enrico Gennasio is ready to expand the workforce as production ramps up, invest in the development of new models, and continue with a programme of investments in the Shipyard’s infrastructure and production capacity.
“In recent years, we have worked to restore Cantieri di Pisa to being a productive company, preserving its wealth of expertise and laying the groundwork for solid and sustainable growth,” comments Enrico Gennasio. “Today we are taking another step forward with an organisation designed to support the shipyard’s future growth, the consolidation of the refit business, and the brand’s return to the new-build market.”
