Portofino Marine Services is an Industrial LLC license for boat and shipbuilding and repair. Founded in 2008, it has been operating in the industry in the U.A.E. and middle east region for more than 13 years. The company was founded by Raffaele Rognoni, an Italian, who developed a passion for sailing as a young child. He spent his life on boats ever since, gaining experience on both sailing and motorboats of various sizes. By collaborating with important shipyards and brands, he developed refined skills in project management and consultation, as well as technical expertise in engineering. He arrived to perform his work on boats of over 40 meters, as well as working as a consultant for companies of high significance in the nautical industry. After moving to Dubai, he established Portofino Marine Services – an assistance centre for leading brands in the nautical sector, a boat servicing centre, and installation assistance for companies of important nautical accessories. Portofino’s boats are a fusion of functionality and aesthetics. The catamarans are the result of an all-Italian design expressing the best of Italian taste. The design approach to its boats focuses on creating two products that emphasize the catamaran concept by making the most of all the advantages of this object. By exploiting the use of aluminum, the company made a boat durable over time and easy to maintain.
