Article Sciacchetrà, the iconic vessel of Cinque Terre National Park end its sea voyage

Sciacchetrà, a classic model from Paraggina, is a historic wooden motorboat that was constructed in 1965 by the renowned Cantieri Navali di Chiavari, formerly known as Cantiere Gotuzzo, under the skilled craftsmanship of esteemed designers and master shipwrights Solari and De Negri. In 2006, the boat was acquired by the Park, which was facing significant maintenance challenges.
Consequently, a vital restoration project was launched, focusing on repairing the vessel's structural integrity to ensure both navigability and safety, all while preserving the historical significance of this remarkable unit.
The historic ship has functioned as a remarkable venue for guided excursions, short coastal cruises, and themed workshops dedicated to marine sustainability. Thanks to the ecological improvements, it has set a standard for sustainable navigation, promoting environmental consciousness and the preservation of cultural heritage.
However, the current state of the asset presents difficulties that hinder economically feasible restoration initiatives.
Proposals from any interested parties for the required work should be submitted via certified email (pec@pec.parconazionale5terre.it) by 12:00 PM on March 4, 2025.

To see Sciacchetrà, you can reach out to the Park through certified email at the Canaletti Shipyard (Viale San Bartolomeo, La Spezia), which serves as the current storage site for the boat.
