In addition to offering state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, including a 720 Ton travel lift for maxi yachts in Olbia, the Group is able to provide a complete high-quality refit service, from hull mainteinance, to carpentry and upholstery, to hydraulic, electrical and electronics system.
Moreover, the group owns the Marina del Fezzano, which has 250 berths for boats up to 25 metres,
a small green port within the Gulf of Poets, which allows Valdettaro Group to embrace maritime economy at 360 degrees.

“Known for the high quality of the workmanship and services provided, our shipyards represent a hub

We offer the most modern structures and the most expert workers needed to guarantee a top-level service – states Daniela Laganà, sales manager of the Group – we are therefore very enthusiastic about the partnership with Marine Group and to be able to offer Princess owners a dedicated service.”
