‘’I don’t create a boat if I don’t like it. I can also make irons, but prefer boat with an heart’’


This is Tullio Abbate’s philosophy, owner of the company that is celebrating 35 years of business. Ex motor boating champion, pioneer of the fibreglass, is at the top of the task force that is very advanced in the cruise boating. Tullio Abbate has spread in the water, all over the world, 8000 boats with tree main features he personally mentions: ’’You can recognize them from far away for their inimitable silhouette, they are fast and last forever. They are the best for a special client, that dose not remain in port but sails, that loves speed and beauty. May be to the detriment of the comfort without determination.’’
Supported by the most updated luxury parameters (speed, security, quality, refined finishing), the Abbate boat crosses the waves roaring since 1969. This is the beginning of production. Since then, 50 styles have been launched on the market, some of them are already a legend. The first was the Sea Star, the white torpedo that is already an historical style: 6.03 meters over all length for a mythical boat that represents the outstanding of the sea. And that, as a confirmation of its world wide success, is still in production. The Offshore 36’ had a greate impact as well, a cruise boat designed to contrast and over take the American styles. Its main qualities: fast lines, practical, reliable. Following the success reached with Offeshore’36, the Executive’42 has been created, a great motorboat of a big change that has brought Tullio Abbate to be considered among beginning of the cooperation between the yard on the Como lake an Giorgetto Giugiaro, the brilliant designer from Torino. In the last 20 years, the company has preferred to improve the actual product and, considering the difficulties to produce inside a ‘’closed lake’’ (and, as consequence, to transport by sea), has decided to reduce the size of the boats. The Senna’42 arrived, a boat created with the name of the unforgettable F1 champion.
The company has improved the research and has founded the division ‘’Tullio Abbate Engineering’’ in order to maintain the best quality in production.
