Its range includes the Power series of sportboats (from the Power 27 R to the Power 135) and the Interceptor 49 and Interceptor 65 fast patrol boats developed with Cantiere Navale Vittoria of Adria and Fast Service.

Power Marine Shipyard srl

Power Marine Shipyard srl designs and builds composite (fibre) powerboats for pleasure, military and competition use, with an emphasis on top speed and seakeeping. The company was founded in 1982 by Giancarlo Corbelli, who converted the former Edweiss Italia motorcycle-components business into a marine operation; Oscar Corbelli is described as the current Amministratore Delegato. Hulls for all three sectors are said to come from the same moulds, and the yard states that every design and build phase is managed internally.
