DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY: TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS AND INNOVATIONS

Superyachts are floating villas that travel and stay in some of the most fascinating, pristine and fragile places on the planet. The quest for sustainability is therefore a must in the contemporary context, following regulations that are still being defined but above all the drive to combine the love of the sea, comfort and the lightness of the footprint left in the environment.
