Salpa is an Italian boat builder trading as Nautica Salpa s.r.l., based in Vitulazio in the province of Caserta, Italy. The company was founded in 1984 by Antonio and Enza Pane and builds leisure boats, including rigid inflatable boats and motor boats.
History and shipyard
Nautica Salpa was founded in 1984 after Antonio and Enza Pane brought their experience from the pleasure-boat sector into their own shipyard. The company’s official address is SP 333, Località Bovenzi 7, 81041 Vitulazio (CE), and its production is centered at its Italian facility. Salpa’s own history page says the shipyard handles the full production cycle in-house, from design development to tank testing. The brand has positioned itself as a builder of recreational craft rather than a charter operator or multi-brand dealer.
Model range and design
Salpa produces both open motor boats and rigid inflatable boats, with current ranges shown on its site under the boats and inflatables lines. The brand’s better-known models include the Soleil family and the Sunsix and Avantgarde lines, with sizes spanning compact day boats to larger cabin-equipped craft. Salpa’s official materials emphasize refined design, efficient use of interior space, and performance, while third-party listings describe the brand as known for RIBs and outboard-powered models. The company also reports strong export activity in European markets.
