Ranieri International

A family-run shipyard in Calabria, specialising in RIBs and day cruisers.

Ranieri comes from Soverato in Calabria. Pietro Ranieri started out in the late 1960s with a workshop specialising in engines, but soon switched to fibreglass boat building and founded Motonautica F.lli Ranieri in 1970. The company is still family-run: Pietro runs it together with his sons Salvatore and Antonio. Most of the components are manufactured at the company’s own yard.

Ranieri International was established as an umbrella brand in 2008. The Cayman range comprises RIBs ranging from small tenders to cruisers of almost fifteen metres; the Next series includes hardtop and cabin cruisers from the 220 SH to the 370 SH; and there are also the Shadow and Voyager models. Ranieri supplies to more than thirty countries.
