Viacava Gozzo Portofinense used

Classic maritime heritage meets modern reliability in this 1958 Viacava Gozzo Portofinense. Built by the renowned master shipwright Gaetano Viacava of Portofino, this rare vessel has been preserved through a total refitting process conducted between 2021 and 2023. To ensure longevity, the underwater hull was professionally resin-coated by the Viacava shipyard, meaning the boat now benefits from fiberglass protection while maintaining its original 1958 design aesthetic. The mechanical heart of this gozzo is a Nanni Diesel Kubota engine, originally installed in 1993 and subjected to intensive maintenance. Recent works include a 2024 replacement of the Tecnodrive TMC60 gearbox, a 2025 service of oil, filters, and impeller, alongside comprehensive electrical system checks and the installation of a new single-lever control system. The hull restoration involved replacing all deteriorated wooden elements, ensuring structural integrity for years to come. Designed for comfort, the cabin provides a luminous space suitable for two people to stay overnight or to find shelter during evening excursions. The boat is equipped with a custom-built bow refrigerator and internal ventilation to manage summer temperatures, with an existing predisposition for the installation of a marine toilet. A tailored sun awning provides essential shade and protection from evening humidity, making it an excellent choice for coastal dining or leisurely day trips. This VAT-exempt vessel is currently located in Italy. It represents an ideal acquisition for enthusiasts of traditional gozzo craftsmanship who require the peace of mind offered by a recent professional refit. All documentation and maintenance records verify the extensive work performed on both the engine and hull. Interested buyers may contact the agency directly for further details regarding this listing.
