Beginnings

The company’s strength is a marriage between the most sophisticated technology and Tuscany’s flourishing age-old tradition of craft carpentry.
This cultural and professional heritage is unique in the world, handed down from father to son over four generations.
Arturo Bandecchi founded the business in 1924.
Giuseppe Bandecchi inherited his mantle in 1946.
Current owner Fiorenzo Bandecchi took the helm in 1972, setting up the company Arredomare Yachtline in 1994 with Enrico Ciacchini.
They and their daughters are the new lifeblood of a family firm that is rooted in the local area yet open to international markets, with a far-sighted, innovative vision.
In 2011, Arredomare Yachtline floated on the stock market as a unique new entity with a fresh name and trademark: YACHTLINE1618.

Pioneers

Yacht interiors used to be constructed on board, at great expense of time and energy.
In 1994, Fiorenzo Bandecchi and Enrico Ciacchini invented a revolutionary new production method
in which the interiors were built in the factory, the client inspected and approved them, and each individual component was encoded, dismantled and refitted on board, using a pressure assembly patent of ingenious simplicity.

The top, made of a collection of rare and precious woods expertly turned, evokes the fascination of movement, but only in stillness is its essence revealed.

Museum and Education

The spacious, luminous hall at our Bientina headquarters houses the museum of the tools of the trade in the art of naval carpentry.
Planes, saws, compasses, vices and gouges: implements great and small of an ancient, noble trade that tell stories of ingenuity, manual skill, and passionate dedication.
We aim to establish an in-house school of naval carpentry to teach young people this fine profession
under the tutelage of accomplished carpenters and teachers from technical institutes.
