Italian superyacht refit shipyard Cantiere Rossini has commenced construction on the first phase of its new Crew Village, marking the start of its next phase of development at its superyacht refit facility in Pesaro, on Italy's Adriatic coast.
Set to open after summer 2027, the initial phase will feature a purpose-built gymnasium and crew lounge, both offering panoramic views over the marina.
According to the yard, the development underscores a broader industry shift toward prioritising the experience of yacht captains and crew during extended refit periods, which can often span several months.
“Refit is about people as much as yachts,” said Stewart Parvin, CEO of Cantiere Rossini. “Captains and crew can spend months with us. We want to provide the right technical environment for the yacht, but also the right experience for the people behind it.”
Beyond infrastructure, Cantiere Rossini has established a team of Xperience Officers who organise social activities both inside and outside the shipyard to help crew members connect with one another and make the most of their time in Pesaro.
