Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Ancona, Italy, CPN Yachts operates as a boutique shipyard dedicated to custom yacht construction. The yard transitioned into full shipyard operations in 2007, positioning itself within Italy’s Adriatic production corridor. From the outset, CPN has focused on quality over volume, maintaining a deliberately selective build portfolio centered on owner-led projects.

Engineering integrity sits at the core of the shipyard’s approach. CPN favors steel displacement hulls for their strength, range capability, and comfort at sea, particularly for owners prioritizing extended cruising. Rather than pushing fixed model lines, the yard collaborates with experienced naval architects and designers, allowing each yacht to be developed around a specific brief rather than a predefined template.

This philosophy has made CPN a natural fit for clients seeking individuality and technical substance. Explorer-style yachts form a significant part of the yard’s output, with layouts, deck arrangements, and onboard systems tailored to real-world use. The result is a portfolio defined less by repetition and more by purpose-built yachts that reflect how their owners intend to travel.
