For a company to become the very essence of the industry it represents, it takes years of work—building its reputation, consistently proving its reliability, and offering as wide a range of services as possible. This is exactly what has happened with Continental Marine, which today is without a doubt the first name that comes to mind when thinking of yachting professionals in Sardinia—and beyond.
To define Continental Marine merely as a shipyard and dealership would be an understatement. This long-established company, based in Aglientu, offers all-around boat services: from storage to emergency assistance, from repairs to sales. Any boat owner in Sardinia who finds themselves in need of help knows they can count on Continental Marine as a trustworthy partner, always ready to step in—no matter the situation.
Founder Ugo Soldi and his entire team are among the most skilled professionals in the industry. Located just a short distance from Santa Teresa di Gallura, Continental Marine operates from a facility that spans 3,200 square meters (1,200 of which are covered), and from there, they are ready to serve boat owners along the entire coast from Castelsardo to Olbia. The company can also accommodate vessels up to 50 feet in length.
But there’s more. Continental Marine’s services extend beyond Sardinia. To ensure prompt and effective assistance to clients wherever they are, the company has set up a network of trusted personnel across strategic locations in mainland Italy: La Spezia, Elba Island, Trani, San Benedetto del Tronto, and Viareggio. In short, customers are never left on their own, no matter where they are in Italy. This guarantees boat owners complete, reliable, and immediate assistance—wherever they choose to sail.
Continental Marine Services
At its Aglientu headquarters, opened in 1997, Continental Marine specializes in shipbuilding and the storage of motor yachts and sailing boats. The shipyard handles repairs on vessels of all sizes, installations, fiberglass reconstructions, and carpentry work. It also offers emergency port-side assistance for unexpected breakdowns, as well as at-sea recovery services, including towing if necessary.
A breakdown at sea is never pleasant—but in the unfortunate event that it happens, Continental Marine knows exactly what to do. Soldi and his team have extensive experience with electrical systems, electronics, and both inboard and outboard engines. The shipyard can handle every aspect of your boat’s needs: supplying, repairing, and installing onboard equipment; maintaining and overhauling electrical systems; installing stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, hydraulic gangways, anchor windlasses, electric winches, watermakers, and generators. Try finding another marine service company with this level of competence and completeness.
We at The International Yachting Media say this with full confidence: Continental Marine is entirely and exclusively responsible for the maintenance and management of our editorial boat, Daydreamer. This historic sailing yacht has been fully restored and has served as the platform for countless tests and thousands of hours of navigation. We can confidently say that Continental Marine is the most professional and capable team we’ve ever worked with—and we are proud and happy to continue doing so.
Continental Marine is also the partner that The International Yachting Media relies on for all the accessory tests it carries out in its international publications. The next one is set to begin in these days and involves the test of the Selva Black Bass 8, the lightest outboard engine on the market.
Boat Sales in Sardinia
In addition to its shipbuilding activity, Continental Marine has also added sales and assistance services for many famous brands. The company has been a dealer and service center for Scanner Marine and Honda since 2015, Rio Yachts since 2012, Poly Form since 1999, and Scout Boats since 2011. Most recently, this year it also became an authorized dealer for Selva Marine and Solemar.
Over the years, Continental Marine has aimed to expand its expertise, focusing not only on small and medium-sized boats but also on larger ones. The latest agreements with Selva Marine and Solemar represent the culmination of this journey, and we look forward to witnessing their future achievements. Professionals like Ugo Soldi and his team truly deserve it.
