Swiss-based Pedrazzini Yachts crafts exquisite runabouts with nearly 100 years of boatmaking experience. Claudio Pedrazinni is at the helm, continuing the Italian passion of his father Ferruccio and grandfather Augusto.

True to tradition, each mahagony runabouts are meticulously handcrafted and can take up to nine months to complete. The Special runabout is Pedrazzini’s largest at 10.3m long and a V-shaped hull for superb handling at high speeds and tight turns. This model is exclusive with only a few launched each year from the yard.

Sporting a dynamic silhouette is the Vivale, complete with a convertible top that stores discreetly between the cockpit and the deck. Reaching top speeds of 46 knots (or about 85km/h ), the Vivale glides on rough waters without creating spray.

The most classical beauty of the three has to be the 7.47m long and 2.45m wide Capri with its all-mahogony hull of merged Italian design and Swiss quality. All Pedrazzini runabouts are fitted with luxurious amenities for an exclusive boating experience.
