Company history

Cantieri Navali Lavagna Shipyard was founded in the 50s in Italy. At that time the company was building wooden boats under the brands President and Arcobaleno Super. In 1966 the company launched the new Admiral brand, which later became an iconic brand for many superyacht owners.

In the mid 70's Cantieri Navali Lavagna built the first 30-meter wooden motor yacht, followed by other ambitious projects with no less hull length.

The models revolutionized the market, as at that time the average length of a boat rarely exceeded 18 meters.

With the development of the shipbuilding industry and changing customer demands, the company began to look for new materials that are strong, lightweight and durable. In 1982, the company presented its first 23.50 metre Boule Dogue in an aluminium hull. The model was a landmark for the shipyard: it opened the era of metal for Cantieri Navali Lavagna.
