Shipyard Mondomarine (Mondo Marine SpA) was opened in 1978 in the coastal town of Savona, ideal for shipbuilding, as a nautical department of the famous Italian company Mondo, which is a leading manufacturer of coatings and artificial cinder tracks for stadiums.
In 2005 a 40-meter yacht Fabry's was built, the second aluminium yacht in history (the first was the yacht Blue Belle in 2003). In April 2006, a 42-meter yacht Kimberly II was launched made of steel and aluminium, design carried out by Studio Ruggiero, and the customer was a Greek wine businessman Spyros Metaxa. In 2006 a 50-meter aluminium mega yacht and a 45-meter yacht in steel and aluminium Princess Iolanthe were built.
Besides mega yacht Mondomarine Company has got such ready series as the Atlantic sized 31–36 meters, the design of which was carried out by architect Cor. D. Rover & Sydac. Mondomarine uses a unique patented technology Mouldless Method, developed for composite materials, thanks to which it is possible to build a yacht without a pile (when the hull is in the water).
After launching a 50-meter model Tribu (commissioned for Luciano Benetton), this super yacht received a Green Star for high environmental performance. In 2008 three yachts were built on the shipyard Mondomarine: a 41-meter aluminium hull (improved model Panther), a 41-meter tri-deck yacht Cor D. Rover designed in cooperation with Luca Dini, and a 38-meter yacht with plastic hull, produced jointly with SYDAC.
