About Us
Devoti Sailing was born from the relentless pursuit of excellence and the deep connection between a sailor and the wind. Founded in 1992 by Olympic medallist Luca Devoti, the company has become a benchmark in the world of competitive sailing — crafting boats that have powered champions and inspired sailors across generations.
From the shores of Lake Garda to the Olympic podium, Luca’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and an unbreakable bond with the sport. What started with one Finn mold has become a global sailing legacy, marked by innovation, victories, and a tireless pursuit of perfection.
Inside Devoti Sailing
Take a closer look at what drives us. From the first spark of an Olympic dream to the hands-on craftsmanship in our boatyard, this video tells the story of Devoti Sailing — where every boat begins with a vision and is built with purpose. Discover the people, the process, and the philosophy behind our world-class sailing vessels.
From a Dream to a Legacy
The story of Devoti Sailing began with a bold vision: to build boats that could compete — and win — at the highest level. The first Devoti Finn won every race at its debut regatta, selling eight boats on the spot and launching a legacy of success.
Since then, Devoti boats have won every Finn World and European Championship but two, and all Olympic medals from 1996 to 2021 were claimed on Devoti hulls. The company expanded its expertise to classes like 470, ILCA, Melges 24, Musto Skiff, D-One, D-Zero, and Optimist, combining technical mastery with a sailor’s instinct.
Craftsmanship and Innovation
Every Devoti boat is handmade with precision and care. From the materials we choose to the techniques we apply, our process reflects a dedication to both performance and durability. We believe in design thinking, in knowing what a sailor needs because we are sailors ourselves.
Our team, led by passionate professionals like Chris Caldecoat, Karel Samsula, and many others, works with tireless energy to bring each boat to life — pushing boundaries and raising standards.
Looking Ahead
With a strong network of dealers around the world, Devoti Sailing brings its craftsmanship to sailors across continents. We don’t just sell boats — we build long-lasting relationships based on trust, support, and shared passion.
We are here for sailors who seek perfection, who live for the challenge, and who feel the wind as a call to go further.
