Expertly crafted by the renowned master shipwright Gaetano Viacava of Portofino, this 1958 Viacava Gozzo Portofinense represents a unique piece of maritime history. Now available as a used boat, this vessel has undergone a comprehensive refit between 2021 and 2023, ensuring it meets modern standards while honoring its original design.
One of the most significant upgrades during the recent restoration is the treatment of the hull. The underwater section has been professionally resin-coated by the Viacava shipyard, meaning the vessel now benefits from the durability of fiberglass in contact with the sea, while preserving the classic aesthetic of the wooden structure above the waterline.
The layout includes a bright, glass-enclosed cabin capable of accommodating two people, making it an excellent choice for evening excursions or coastal dining trips. For added comfort, the vessel features a custom-built bow refrigerator and internal ventilation fans, with existing provisions for a marine toilet. A well-designed canopy provides essential shade and protection from evening humidity.
Powering this vessel is a Nanni Diesel Kubota engine installed in 1993, which has been meticulously maintained and recently overhauled. The 2021-2025 refitting works included a cylinder head correction, cooling system service, and a new Tecnodrive TMC60 gearbox installed in 2024. Additionally, the engine controls, electrical system, and fuel lines have been updated, with recent maintenance performed in 2025.
As a 'natante' under Italian regulations, this vessel does not require a boat license, offering an accessible entry into classic boat ownership. The sale price is 70.000 EUR and the VAT status is exempt (IVA Esente). This boat is currently located in Italy and is available for viewing by appointment.
