Builder Sessa Marine

Company history

The Italian shipyard Sessa was founded in 1958 by engineer Camillo Braga. As a specialist in polyesters, he used the materials derived from them in the construction of small boats and lightweight kartop boats. In the 70's the company expanded its material palette and model range. The daughter of the founder, Raffaella Braga Radice, played an important role in these processes.

In the 2000s, the family shipyard reached a new level. Branches were opened in South and North America. The brand also received the title Cavaliere Lavoro, the highest award for entrepreneurs in Italy. Sessa Marine is still managed today by the descendants of Camillo Braga, the Radiche family.

Features

The leading concept and motto of Sessa is to «do the right thing». This applies to every vessel, be it a fishing boat or a large yacht. The company pays particular attention to the quality of materials and control of work processes. At the same time, Sessa makes sure that the boats comply with the legislation of the importing countries. The company also carefully selects dealers around the world. Marketers at the shipyard are constantly innovating in design and communications.

In the third millennium, having finally established itself in the European market, the Sessa brand is increasingly focusing on the production of large motor yachts with luxurious interiors and specific designs (extraordinary glazing, trapezoidal windows).
