Wednesday 28th September on board M/Y Divine 40m Sport Hybrid Palumbo Group S.p.A. will present Global press meeting for the unveiling of latest updates about Isa Yachts acquisition; Palumbo Superyachts facilities; Palumbo Group new team and yards managers Palumbo started in the 1967 as a fairly small carpentry and metalwork yard to support the local ship repair industry. Actually the company is a group with four different division and five different sites (and a branch office in Monaco) now became a major maritime maintenance and refitting center with an ever expanding infrastructure with the Med.

The group built its reputation enrolling 50 years of professional expertise with a clear mission: to support customers with a range of time-sensitive services including sales, after-sales assistance, with a network of facilities – Palumbo Superyachts - in the heart of Mediterranean Sea (Napoli, Messina, Malta, Marseille). Actually PSY may boast of an impressive portfolio of clients and most relevant international players of the yachting industry. In addition to those two divisions, Palumbo Group has an off-shore drilling vessels production and also operates in cranes rental. Palumbo Group has recently announced the acquisition of the fifth shipyard in Tenerife (Canary Island, Spain) which will represents the growth of the company outside the Mediterranean. An important step to further strengthen the presence of Palumbo Superyachts service outside the Mediterranean basin. Palumbo Messina and Palumbo Napoli are operating mainly in repair, construction, modification, conversion and maintenance of every type of ship and cruise lines. Aside Palumbo Superyachts, the group also produces its own range of superyacht - Columbus Yachts brand.

The production is located in Naples facilities. The collections - full custom oriented - merge a solid 50 years heritage of shipbuilding with and extremely technologically addicted production thanks to the strong in-house engineering team and the collaboration of top international design firms like Hydrotech, Marco Casali and Vafiadis. The steel and aluminum units are available in four distinct collections: Liberty (26 to 38m), Berlinetta (33 to 50m), Oceanic Classic&Explorer (50 to 80m) and – perhaps the most striking and awards winning - the Sport Hybrid. With four yachts on water so far (one 40m-year 2013 and one 54m-year 2011) Columbus Yachts launched two new units last 2015. The 40m Sport Hybrid – M/Y DIVINE and a 57m Classic – M/Y TAIBA.
