Apreamare

Apreamare history dates back to far off 1849, when Giovanni Aprea started to handbuild rowing and sailing boats used for fishing in Sorrento, basing his craft on the shape and form of the traditional “gozzo sorrentino”. The family tradition continued over down to Giovanni’s son Cataldo, first of all, and then to some of his sons and in particular the eldest son Giovanni. It was during this period, in the years following the Second World War, that the first major change was introduced with car engines being fitted to the boats. The boatyard started to produce the first “gozzi” used as pleasure boats, a sector which immediately become the most important, surpassing professional fishing boats.
