The Ciro Massa Shipyard in Torre del Greco boasts a tradition that dates back to the dawn of the First World War, in an area of great maritime activity in the Gulf of Naples, beneath Mount Vesuvius.

Starting as a craft-based enterprise, it specialized over time in the construction of working vessels, particularly wooden sailing boats and pilotine (small motor craft), typical of the local maritime tradition, including the fishing fleet and the Torresi “coralline” (coral fishing boats).

Over the years, it has been able to evolve, maintaining its expertise in wood and quality craftsmanship, to also dedicate itself to refitting, interior furnishing, and the restoration of vintage boats. Today, Nautica Massa (as it is sometimes identified), managed by the Massa family—with Michele and his sons Daniele and Giovanni—combines its historic nautical competence with modern services of storage and maintenance, strategically located at the entrance to the port of Torre del Greco.
