REFIT ALCHEMY
Amico & Co is one of the few true refit and repair centres catering for superyachts, with its own in-house departments
Based in the historical naval city of Genoa on the beautiful Ligurian coast, the facility provides a full range of services including full paint jobs, significant yacht conversions or complex lengthening projects.
The yard accommodates various types of vessels, also specialising in classic yachts where particular care and expertise are required.
The shipyard can count on a combination of its own in-house experienced work departments and cutting edge large yacht facilities including a 4000T ShipLift and a 102m internal covered dry-dock as well as multiple permanent covered paint hangars. The shipyard also has a keel pit available for works on swinging keels on sailing and racing yachts.
The continued growth of Amico & Co has resulted in the company being widely recognised as a leader in the yacht refit and repair sector, working with vessels from 30 to 140m LOA. Drydocking is available inside the yard for vessels of up to 102m in covered sheds inside the shipyard whilst larger projects can use further suitable dry-docks in Genoa port.
The yard is known for its high quality standards and the speed with which it can perform works, factors that have generated a consistent growth in the company’s reputation and an ever-increasing percentage of repeat clients and yachts.
Amico & Co can offer multiple docking solutions, using its 4000T ShipLift for vessels up to 95m and its 835T and 320T travel lifts, as well as a large internal technical marina and a crew-friendly berthing facility, the Waterfront Marina, which has 26 superyacht moorings up to 120m, extensive crew amenities and onsite concierge.
IN-HOUSE RESOURCES
Still a proudly family-owned and run shipyard, with almost 35 years of experience and production, the expertise and experience offered to clients is via in-house production departments, staff and foremen.
On average, Amico & Co completes 115 refit projects every season, working on up to 35 projects simultaneously.
At Amico & Co, clients will find a team comprised not only of highly experienced project managers, but also foremen and artisans on-site.
Internal work departments include: in-house engineering, painting, joinery and interior departments plus, a legal department. Amico also owns an adjoining specialised naval metalworking company, allowing improved capabilities in terms of construction of stern blocks, covers, inserts, piping repairs, welding and cutting and offering metalworking services with optimum time and budget control. Recently it has acquired Gatti shipyard, catering to smaller yacht projects, chase boats and tender works.
WORK APPROACH
Amico & Co runs by using AMIS, the Amico Management Information System, a bespoke, proprietary information management system, which enables coordination and management of working procedures, technical knowledge, communication, project pricing and progress tracking and is fundamental to the successful Amico & Co methodology, containing over 3,800 full work lists relative to completed refit projects, with all of the associated costs with specific works, as well as over 6,000 quotes. It also includes the technical and financial records of all refit projects performed in the shipyard, an invaluable yardstick for future projects, which is why a project quotation from Amico & Co is the most thorough and transparent quote that a client can find anywhere in the industry.
Amico & Co has a long experience of working to meet all Flag, State and Class regulations, and interacts with important associations such as Confindustria, ICOMIA and local maritime cluster Genova For Yachting. It was the first Italian shipyard to attain environmental management standard certificate ISO 14001.
Since 2017 Amico & Co has been an Authorized Economic Operator, an internationally recognised quality mark indicating businesses that fulfil specific criteria of having good tax and customs compliance history and whose role in the international supply chain is secure.
