Apreamare shipyards boast an ancient marine tradition. Sorrento coast has always been one of the excellence centres for naval construction, and carpenters have created in the times, from generation to generation, a model of boat that has become a real “classic”: the Gozzo of Sorrento.
The origins of the gozzo get lost faraway in the past. Its main characteristic, namely the double pointed hull with a very similar shape both in the bow and in the stern. Nonetheless, the passion and the mastery of shipwrights, blacksmiths and carpenters have always succeeded in giving gozzo's that unusual graciousness which has contributed to make them so successful. It was only in the ‘30s that the gozzo of Sorrento underwent its first major evolution: motor propulsion. The stern volumes were increased and the gozzo found a new trim that confirmed it as the ideal and most favourite boat for seamen.
That is how the interest of the first pleasure boaters for this kind of boat was born.
