Cantieri Navali Rizzardi was founded in 1978 by young yacht workshop manager Gianfranco Rizzardi, after receiving his first commission to build a 12-meter fiberglass cruiser. The model’s success was so significant that, just two years later, the company had to expand its production capacity to meet growing demand.

In 1993, Rizzardi acquired the Italian brand Posillipo, along with its production facilities. During the 2000s, the company opened two additional production sites in Cerasella and Fiumicino and further expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Italcraft and Diano brands.

Unfortunately, the global financial crisis took a severe toll on the company’s finances, leading to bankruptcy. However, four years later, Gianfranco’s son, Corrado Rizzardi, revived the shipyard and relaunched production, introducing new yacht lines to the market.

Over its history, more than 500 yachts have been launched under the Rizzardi brand.

Rizzardi operates two state-of-the-art production facilities: one in Cerasella, covering 30,000 square meters, with 10,000 square meters of covered space, and another in Porto Del Bufalo, spanning 70,000 square meters, also with 10,000 square meters of covered space.

In addition, the shipyard boasts its own marina, offering yacht storage and maintenance services, ensuring comprehensive support for yacht owners.

Rizzardi offers semi-custom luxury motor yachts ranging from 15 to 25 meters across two distinct series:

• IN Line: Sporty designer yachts featuring sleek hardtops, available in lengths from 16 to 25 meters.
• GR Line: Elegant cruising yachts designed for long-distance comfort, with models starting at 19 meters.

The flagship of Rizzardi's lineup is the 37-meter **Posillipo 122**, capable of reaching a top speed of 29 knots, combining luxury and performance in a stunning package.
