Fluid management is becoming one of the most critical aspects of modern yacht and ship engineering. From HVAC systems and cooling circuits to water distribution and fire-fighting applications, today’s onboard architectures require increasingly sophisticated levels of control, automation and system integration.

The evolution of marine hybrid propulsion systems is reshaping the nautical industry, moving beyond the traditional distinction between diesel, hybrid, and electric engines toward a fully integrated approach to onboard energy management.

Increasingly advanced electrical systems are now found on board boats and yachts. The management of individual devices has given way […]

The growth and industrial integration process initiated by the Opacmare Group in recent years culminated in 2025 with the acquisition of the Viareggio-based company. This operation strengthens the Group’s presence in the superyacht accessories and megayacht segment and supports an industrial model based on integration, advanced customization, and a range of systems that redefine the relationship between yachts and the sea, now covering handling systems from 10 to 200 m.

Pressure automation, system integration, modularity, and standardization: HP Watermakers traces the evolution of the desalinator from a stand-alone machine to a strategic node in the on-board marine water systems, combining industrial solutions with a tailor-made approach to design and reinforcing innovation in yacht watermakers.

Nearly two years after the change of ownership, Silent Yachts has redefined its processes, models, and strategies, focusing on production […]
