Company

Founded in 1970, Intermarine has specialized in building boats and ships with fibre-reinforced plastic hulls.[1]

In September 2002, the company was acquired by Rodriquez Cantieri Navali, a shipbuilder focusing on high-speed vessels. This led to Intermarine introducing ships built out of steel and aluminum, using technology from their parent company.[1]

Rodriquez owns four shipyards on the west coast of Italy, all of which Intermarine has access to for production.[1] A third shipyard was run in the United States by the subcompany Intermarine USA following the purchase of the Sayler Marine Corporation and their shipyard in Savannah, Georgia in the mid 1980s,[2] but by the 2002 acquisition by Rodriquez, this yard was no longer owned by the company.
