Finding the right part in a foreign country costs days. We handle the search, the order and the delivery, so you stay on schedule instead of walking from chandlery to chandlery.

  • 1. Send us a photo

    Message the part, the serial number or the fault on WhatsApp — from anywhere along the coast.

  • 2. We find it and quote

    We identify the correct component through our Italian and European suppliers and send you a price and lead time.

  • 3. Delivered on board

    The part reaches your boat, your marina office or the boatyard — fitted by us if you prefer.

About Paolo

A local marine professional on your side in Italy

I am Paolo Carasso, based on the coast north of Rome. For years I have looked after cruising sailing yachts of 12 to 16 metres in the marinas between Riva di Traiano and Nettuno — technical assistance, spare parts and management of works with the yards.

I install and service Raymarine electronics, Schenker watermakers and Victron power systems, and I coordinate mechanics, riggers, sailmakers and shipwrights when a job needs a specialist. I speak English, I answer quickly on WhatsApp, and I explain what is wrong, what it will take and what it will cost before any work starts.

If you are ending your season here, I also arrange winter storage ashore or afloat and hand the boat back ready to sail — with Fiumicino and Ciampino airports minutes away.
