History and shipyard
Sessa was founded in 1958 by engineer Camillo Braga, initially working in phenolic powders and polyester resins before entering boating in 1968 with its first Genoa Boat Show participation. In the 1970s, the company began producing small boats at Sessa Aurunca and expanded its facilities through Cinisello Balsamo and Arcore. In 1973, it became the first Italian company to install Piaggio jet units for small inboard jet boats. The business later moved production to northern Italy and formed Sessa Marine Spa in 1992 after merging with Fyberstamp.

The brand is associated with Italian styling, practical deck layouts, and a progression from smaller runabouts to larger family and cruising boats.
