Castoldi

History of the company

The Italian shipyard Castoldi was born out of the engineering talent of Luigi Castoldi and the love of his brother Achille Castoldi for sport. Back in the 1930s they designed and built together a boat that set a world speed record in the class of boats with engines up to 100 hp. Then there were many more inventions and new victories, and in the 1960s it was time to build a boat for the general public.

Luigi has created a unique enterprise using technologies that have no analogues in production. The team conducted extensive research on waterjet engines and developed solutions that gave the start-up a competitive edge.
