History

Vismara was founded in 1984 by Alessandro Vismara, naval architect graduated in YachtDesign from the Southampton College of Higher Education, in England, with a post graduation in Applied Aerodynamics and Sailing Boat Performance Prediction. Vismara has always invested and believed in research and technology as tools to express its design philosophy, aiming to lightness and performances as much for cruiser-racers as for luxury-cruisers. Research and technology found application in interior design, to affirm the concept of aesthetic architectural ambivalence of materials. As a matterof fact, the great part of Vismara’s projects presents interiors and structural decors, as well as exposed materials and architectural components. Also in the use of informatics tools and programs,from those for prediction to those for 3D simulation, the Vismara is at the forefront and it collaborates with the research consortium ICAD of FlorenceUniversity, of which it has been founder member. The scientific approach to planning has always allowed Vismara’s boats to be innovative and provided with technological solutions never ending in themselves, but rather aimed at security at seaand comfort.Vismara has for instance been amongst the first boat yard to have in view canting keels and rotating wing masts on cruiser yachts.
