Gozzo Portofinense

Experience the charm of traditional Italian maritime history with this 1958 Viacava Gozzo Portofinense. Built by the renowned master shipwright Gaetano Viacava, this boat has undergone a significant transformation between 2021 and 2023 to combine authentic aesthetics with modern hull protection. The underwater section of the hull was professionally resin-sealed by the original shipyard, meaning the boat now benefits from the durability of fiberglass while retaining its classic wooden character. Measuring 7.5 meters in length with a beam of 2.33 meters, this vessel is perfectly sized for coastal excursions. The cabin features a bright, glazed superstructure, providing protection from the elements and comfortable space for overnight stays. On-board amenities include a custom-built bow refrigerator and internal ventilation, ensuring comfort during summer outings. The design is practical for both daytime cruising and evening dining trips, with a well-integrated sun awning providing shade and protection against humidity. Power is provided by a reliable 24 HP Nanni Kubota 4150 HE diesel engine, installed in 1993 and subject to consistent maintenance. Recent mechanical work is extensive, including a 2021 head rectification, a 2024 installation of a Tecnodrive TMC60 gearbox, and a full 2025 service encompassing oil, filter, and impeller replacement. The engine remains in excellent operational condition, supported by a renewed electrical system and overhauled starter motor and alternator. This boat is classified as a 'natante,' meaning no boat license is required for operation. It serves as an ideal choice for enthusiasts of classic gozzo boats who require a turn-key vessel without the maintenance burdens often associated with vintage timber hulls. The inclusion of a predisposed marine toilet further adds to the functionality of this charming craft.
