::: The History of Fipa Group:::
 

Fipa Italiana Yachts was born at the beginning of the 1980s together with the first products in fiberglass, producing hulls and structures for the boating market which was asking more and more for this new strong and mouldable material.


With the first products produced in the Massarosa yard, born on Family Guidetti old property, Fipa enters the world of Viareggio boating, distinguishing itself for quality and versatility right from the start.

 
 

During mid-80's Fipa was determined to attack the boating market. Benefiting by the favourable situation, it acquired "Maiora", one of the most prestigious and renowned brand of the Viareggio shipbuilding industry.


Already a symbol of notable craftsmanlike working, the brand found in Fipa yards a fertile ground for development and a more and more careful search for perfection.

At the beginning of the 1990s, Fipa expansion does not stop, creating new production sites inside Viareggio port area, where since then Fipa has made its way in the yacht market. In those years it acquired the historical "Intermare" shipbuilding yard in Viareggio basin, offering a full customer care and a wide dock in Viareggio port.
The production of fiberglass for other yards, still an important voice in Fipa balance, made it soon necessary the acquisition of new spaces: now Fipa is one of the biggest among Viareggio boating pole manufacturers, obtaining orders from Marina Italiana and for passenger transport boats.
 

 

In 2001 a leader shipyard in designing and producing high-performance, water-jet propelled "Open" boats, named "AB Yachts", enters Fipa Group.

Born as a small-size company, today Fipa Group numbers more than 10 productive units, where every single "Maiora" and "AB" boat is born and built, and where 200 people work, giving life to the most refined building masterpieces of world craftsmanship with their experience and professional skill.

Passion for shipbuilding has always induced Fipa to search for new materials and new stylistic lines, to better meet customers' demands. Every challenge has been faced and won, in order to produce bigger and bigger yachts. Today Fipa shipyards has a production of "Fly" boats type "Maiora" from 20 to 37 mts and "Open" boats type "AB" from 56' to 110'.
