While many yacht builders are set on pushing future-bending design boundaries, a select few are dedicated to championing the principles of yesteryear. The result? Beautiful vessels that promise to remain timeless year after year. One such yacht builder is Fratelli Aprea, which made its US debut earlier this year.

The Sorrento-based shipyard has been handcrafting simple yet elegant boats for six generations, with the family-run outfit best known for its graceful Gozzo vessels. At this year’s Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, Fratelli Aprea will be exhibiting an impressive selection, including the Sorrento 36HT, Traditional 780 Gozzo and the 750 Open Cruise, transporting visitors to the shores of the Mediterranean.
