A story of Italian excellence in the yacht building world - Sessa Marine is the epitome of dynamism, innovation, design and technology, luxurious style, quality and reliability. Sessa Marine was one of the first partners of Volvo Penta to adopt the revolutionary IPS technology.
Thanks to years of experience producing boats specifically designed for IPS engines, Sessa Marine is one of the most experienced shipyards utilising this technology - delivering the highest quality performance and navigating comfort. Unequalled manouvrability, extraordinary navigating comfort and reduction in CO2 emissions are only some of the benefits offered by this new innovative IPS propulsion.
Sessa was founded in 1958 and was one of the first companies in Italy to specialise in the production of polyester resin.
In 1968 the company pioneered the marine industry as the first participation at the Genoa boat show with the diversification of production using reinforced plastics.
The 70s era focussed on the production of small boats in Sessa Aurunca (South of Italy) factory and the construction of a new small shipyard in Cinisello Balsamo (North of Italy).
In 1972 the factory in Arcone near Milan was the first Italian boat company to install the new Piaggio jets and to build the first small inboard jet units.
In 1986 the company moved to Lesmo (Milan) and acquired Fyberstamp, a company producing world class hulls for internationally renown Italian shipyards such as like Riva and Ferretti. It is from these origins that Sessa became a dominant player in the high-end luxury yacht market.
In 2006 Sessa expanded into the American market opened an office in Florida.
In 2008 with the launch of the new flagship C68 Sessa Marine enters the larger yacht market of over 20 meters. The Sessa C68 was awarded the France “Best Boat Design under 70 feet”.

In 2018 a restyle of the Key Largo, Cruiser and Yacht range set the world alight with new wide side windows that from the outside set the standard for a more sleek, modern looking luxury boats, and from the inside it opened up the visibility and space that modern boat enthusiasts desire.
