History
The Italian Sea Group was founded in 2009 by Giovanni Costantino with the acquisition of Tecnomar.[4] In 2012 The Italian Sea Group acquired Nuovi Cantieri Apuania (NCA).[5] On 25 May 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the collaboration between The Italian Sea Group and Automobili Lamborghini was announced for the design and construction of "Tecnomar for Lamborghini", Tecnomar's new motor yacht inspired by the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37.[6] On 4 June 2020, The Italian Sea Group launched Geco, the new 55-meter charter yacht by Admiral.[7] On 30 June 2020, Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group presented the world premiere of Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63.[8] The new motor yacht represented the union of two Italian technical excellence in the nautical and automotive fields and immediately found particular interest among enthusiasts and collectors. The production of the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 was planned as a limited series of only 63 units, in reference to Lamborghini’s year foundation.[9] On 2 February 2021, The Italian Sea Group expressed interest in acquiring Perini Navi, which went bankrupt in January 2021.[10] On 26 February 2021, The Italian Sea Group filed for listing on the Borsa Italiana.[11] In March 2021, The Italian Sea Group continued the expansion of its shipyard in Marina di Carrara[12] and in April 2021 inaugurated its own academy in collaboration with the University of Genoa and the Promostudi Foundation, dedicated to courses for employees and graduates of the Naval Engineering and Mechanical Engineering programs and the Master's degree program in Yacht Design.[13] On 8 June 2021, The Italian Sea Group launched its IPO on the Milan Stock Exchange, with an IPO price of €4.90. The offering was successful, raising €97.02 million.[14] On 29 February 2024, The Italian Sea Group had a market capitalization of US$0.58 Billion.
