Heritage & Expertise
Centouno’s story is deeply tied to the career of Marco Arnaboldi, celebrated for designing the world’s fastest diesel-powered yachts. His legacy includes:
- AB Yachts (founded in the 1990s with his father Angelo) — pioneers of waterjet propulsion and composite planing yachts.
- Studio Arnaboldi (1992) — engineering consultancy with over 150 shipyard collaborations worldwide, including Sanlorenzo, Mangusta, Pershing, and ISA Yachts.
- Wooden Boats (2010) — a tender brand merging classic wood with carbon and Kevlar composites for strength, lightness, and elegance.
This decades-long journey culminated in the creation of Centouno Navi in 2022, marking a new chapter in sustainable speed and advanced yacht design.
