Origin
Canados is located in Rome, just 7 km from the international airport of Fiumicino. The Canados shipyard was founded in 1946, on an ex-hydroplane base. The Italian Navy, coastguard and Italian Harbor Masters commisioned the first the first vessels built by Canados.
At the time, the master carpenters who founded the cooperative that would soon become Canados (a contraction of Cantieri Navali di Ostia) quickly achieved a revered reputation worldwide.

Legend
In 1953, while attending the launching of eight fast interceptor patrol boats, the representative of a royal family of a Gulf emirate feel in love with the mastery of Canados’ carpenters. His immediate reaction was to enquire if the yard would be able to build a yacht for His Highness.
This was a challenge gladly accepted, an opportunity to express their art in a situation where only perfection would be deemed acceptable.
Since then, more than 800 Canados yachts have been delivered.In the seven decades since delivering its first yacht, Canados has continuously strived to remain at the cutting-edge of yacht building technologies, techniques and production processes.

Legacy
This has led us to become recognized as the masters of composite construction and today we continue to forge forward through employing vacuum infusion, Nomex, Kevlar and many materials used by leading companies in the aerospace sector.
While employing futuristic processes, Canados has always remained faithful to the values and secular knowledge jealously protected by craftmen throughout our heritage.
