Testimonials

Judged by the people
who run her.

Owners, captains, yards and surveyors, after a full season at sea.

  1. “She holds a line through a beam sea that my last boat could not, and she does it without anyone touching the helm.”

    Marco Ferretti — Owner, Hull 04

  2. “Three seasons, no autonomy faults. Vela shipped the telemetry we asked for and kept answering the phone long after handover.”

    Elena Rossi — Adriatic Charter

  3. “The hull reads the water half a second before I do. After a week at sea you stop second-guessing it.”

    Tomas Lindqvist — Master, M/Y Corallum

  4. “They engineer to be built, not just to be drawn. Tolerances arrive right and refit slots land on the promised day.”

    Sofia Marchetti — Yard Director, La Spezia

  5. “I have surveyed a lot of claims about autonomy. This is the first package where the log matches the brochure.”

    Henrik Dahl — Naval Surveyor

FAQ

Answers to what owners and yards ask us most,
before a hull is ever cut.

From contract to sea trials, eighteen to twenty-four months, depending on specification and the yard slot you take.

Yes. Most of it is hull-agnostic — we have refitted platforms built by other yards at La Spezia.

The V09 sensor package is rated to 090 metres. The ROV package goes considerably further.

We carry the design through class approval and coordinate flag with your management company.
