The excellence of yachting
Discover our selection of the top brands and yacht builders that shape contemporary yachting. Design, innovation, performance and the art of living at sea: Clapi Boats presents yachts available for rental and, as opportunities arise, for sale in the most beautiful destinations of the Mediterranean.
Choosing a yacht relies not only on its size, power, or level of finish. Each builder develops its own distinct vision of navigation, design, and life on board. From the minimalist lines of De Antonio to the innovation of Wally, passing through the elegance of Wajer, the Mediterranean character of SAY Carbon, or the contemporary refinement of Forte, every brand possesses an identity that responds to a different way of experiencing the sea.
At Clapi Boats, we select the builders who are shaping yachting in the Mediterranean today. Our goal is to guide owners, prospective buyers, and enthusiasts through the market's most iconic brands, whether for a charter or a purchase project. This approach allows us to support our clients far beyond a single destination, from the French Riviera to the Balearics, from Sardinia to Liguria, and along the Spanish and Portuguese coasts.

Yachting is evolving toward more open, more fluid boats designed more around outdoor living.
Yachting has evolved profoundly in recent years. Today, owners are looking for yachts that are more open to the sea, easier to use, and better suited to daily life. Large flybridges now stand alongside a new generation of dayboats, while builders are rethinking their models around outdoor spaces, swim platforms, on-board movement, and improved cruising efficiency.
This trend is found in most major international shipyards. Some focus on technological innovation, others on minimalist design, artisanal build quality, or high performance. Despite their differences, all share the same ambition: to offer yachts tailored to the new ways the Mediterranean is used.
Generous outdoor spaces, swimming platforms, smooth circulation, and contemporary lines define a new relationship between the yacht and the sea.
Hulls, engines, materials, and onboard technologies allow each manufacturer to offer a unique navigation experience and distinct sensations.
Day at sea, weekend, or multi-day cruise: the choice of a make and model depends first and foremost on how you want to enjoy your yacht.
Whether for a day at sea, a multi-day cruise, or an acquisition project, choosing a brand is often the first step before selecting a specific model. Depending on the available yachts, chartering or organizing a sea trial also provides a hands-on way to discover a builder before considering a purchase project.
There is no single best yacht brand. Each builder develops its own vision of yachting, with different priorities in terms of design, performance, comfort, innovation, or onboard experience. The best choice depends above all on your cruising itinerary, your expectations, and your lifestyle at sea.
The Mediterranean favors yachts capable of offering large outdoor spaces, smooth movement on board, and performance suited to coastal cruising. Builders like De Antonio, Wally, Wajer, Pardo, SAY Carbon, or Forte offer models that are particularly appreciated for exploring the French, Italian, or Spanish coasts, or the Balearic Islands.
Dayboats are designed for day trips, with priority given to outdoor living spaces, speed, and ease of use. Cruising yachts generally feature more cabins, greater range, and amenities for spending several days or nights on board in superior comfort.
Yes. Depending on the available models, it is often possible to arrange a sea trial or experience a yacht through a charter. This option allows you to evaluate the performance, comfort, living spaces, and sailing sensations before making a purchase decision.
The choice of a brand depends on many criteria: your budget, your cruising program, the number of people welcomed on board, your aesthetic preferences as well as the performance sought. Comparing the different builders makes it possible to identify the yacht that truly matches your usage, whether it is for a one-off rental or a future purchase.
Our team supports you in comparing builders, identifying the most suitable yacht for your cruising itinerary, and discovering rental or purchase opportunities available in the Mediterranean.
