Apreamare‘s history dates back to 1849 when Giovanni Aprea started to hand build rowing and sailing boats used for fishing in Sorrento, basing his craft on the shape and form of the traditional gozzo sorrentino. It was in the years following the Second World War, that the first major change was introduced with automobile motors being fitted to the boats. And so the boatyard started to produce the first gozzi used as pleasure boat, a sector which immediately became the most important, surpassing professional fishing boats. Cataldo Aprea, bursting with new groundbreaking ideas, joined the family boatyard in 1973 with Salvatore Pollio, a constructor who picked up on the great potential and with creativity, decided to go and open the Apreamare boatyard in 1983.

They build in Torre Annunziata (Naples), the following models: Apreamare 64 fly, Apreamare 64, Apreamare 48, Apreamare 44, Apreamare 38 open, Apreamare 38 comfort, Apreamare 32 open, Apreamare 32 comfort, Apreamare 28 open, Apreamare 28 midcabin, Apreamare 28 cabin, Smeraldo 45, and Maestro range.
I’m extracting my sample pics from their site and from various other brokers, maybe some info will be provided from yachtworld.com.
The Apreamare 64 Fly has a LOA: 19.40 m, Beam: 5.60 m, Draft: 1.46 m, a displacement of 29.5 t, Main Engine: twin MAN 2 X 1100 HP, with a cruising speed: 29 knots, and a maximum speed of 33 knots. The estimated price for a new model is $1,2 Million.
Apreamare 48
The Apreamare 48 has a LOA of 14.64 m, a beam of 4.70 m and a Draft of 0.98 m. Displacement fully laden: 22 t. 2 x 600 hp engines. Accommodation for up to 7 in 3 cabins plus saloon. A model from 2007 was around Euro 540,000 on yachtowner.
Apreamare 38 comfort
An Apreamare 38 comfort from 2010, was for sale with around $270 K. Not too bad, knowing that we have there a LOA of 11.29 m, a Beam of 3.55 m, a Draft of 0.77 m, one luxurious cabin for owner and another one little for the crew, with a Volvo Penta D6 of 660 HP, developing a cruising speed of 25 knots and maximum speed of 29 knots.
Apreamare 38 comfort Saloon
The saloon is beautiful.
Apreamare 38 comfort Galley
Galley, as well, is exactly what one needs.
Apreamare 38 comfort double cabin
The luxurious double cabin, above, is nothing under an Azimuth’s or Ferretti’s.
I’m going to show just one more model, the Maestro 65, which is absolutely beautiful, but has a price range (depending on the building year, of course) between $1,9 Million to $3,3 Million.
Apreamare Maestro 65
Apreamare Maestro 65 engine room
How I like when I find an engine room pic, be it only on yachtworld. The manufacturers, rarely expose them, as there are always other people’s concern.
Maestro 65 Control Station
The pilot place, actually the captain’s.
Maestro 65 plans on decks
The plans show how good was this yacht planned. LOA: 20.17 m, Beam: 5.74 m, Dry Weight: 47 t, Main Engines: twin inboard MAN with a total of 1100 HP and a cruising speed of 29 kn (with maximum speed: 34 kn).
Maestro range goes actually from 51, through 56, 66 to 82. The Maestro above, was the last presented today, for the rest, please consult the site. They say there that Maestro is the Wind, the Sea and the Man. Their Flash website with an almost 8 Million Alexa rank don’t show more than pics. Anyway, if you search the Marinas, you’ll find desirable Maestro and Apreamare yachts in general. Some models are quite affordable to everybody.

I am shopping for a used cabin cruiser, but I have slip limitations. I cannot exceed 38′ total length, nor can I exceed 12′ for beam and even that requires a variance, or modification. A maximum beam of 11′ 6″, or less would be perfect. I am hoping to exceed the length of your 33′ model either open , or comfort and I have seen some used boats 27′ 11″ with beams of under 12′, but I’m afraid they might be latter models and outside my budget.
I am in Santa Barbara, Calif. and the marina is full of dream boats, sail and power yachts both, but there are no Apreamare and ever since I laid eyes on one of your cabin cruisers, for me there can never be any other. And what can one say when that happens? A bing, a bang, ah boom, I can’t eat anymore. I don’t sleep. For me and from where the sun now stands, and forever, there can never be any other, only Apreamare.
Alas, budget requirements force me to look to earlier models, always, money, money, money, but I am hoping you can assist me with some information. What years and what models are closer to 38′ than 33′ and still meet my slip requirements of under the 11’6” beam requirement? The Santa Barbara Channel is actually one of the more dangerous channels in the world and can be especially choppy in high seas when conditions such as conflicting currents and crossing winds (known as the potato patch) arise. Even such small increase in size offers greater stability, confidence and comfort. Family and guests would appreciate every additional foot.
I thank you in advance for whatever advice and direction you may offer and I salute you, your family and of course your work force. I salute them all, the wood working artisans, marine architects and engineers alike. But what lines, to bring such form and function together, and these other names, Sea Ray, Bayliner, all the others; they call themselves yachts. I have to ask you, how can they?
When I do find my own Apreamare and bring her back to her new home in the Santa Barbara Marina all the eyes will be for her only. This I can promise you. Heads will turn and I suspect you will soon be selling your yachts here. Bravo, well done, bravo dominius.
Mr. DiBrezzo, I am not an Apreamare representative, nor a yacht dealer. Thank you very much for the compliments, but they have to be addressed to the ship yard, where, I’m sure you also will find the solicited information. I understood that you can’t afford a new model for the moment, otherwise it wouldn’t have been a problem to request a special customization adapted to that characteristics 🙂
Good luck, and keep me informed, I shall ask around myself.
May I just say what a relief to discover
somebody that actually understands what they’re talking about
on the internet. You definitely understand how to bring an issue to light
and make it important. More people have to look at this and understand this side
of the story. It’s surprising you are not more popular since you most certainly
possess the gift.
Nice article, I enjoy catching a trip or two a year but never got into yachting much though.
This is a very attractive Yacht Company. Interesting hull design. Giovanni Aprea is one that has been around a long time.
Yes, it is.
