Nanni is a respected name in the marine industry with origins dating back to 1952 in Milan, Italy. Founded as a company focused on marinizing engines, Nanni has grown into a global reference for complete marine power solutions. Over nearly seven decades the company has built a reputation for engineering, reliability, and product range tailored specifically to the marine market.
Nanni specializes in designing and manufacturing a comprehensive portfolio that includes marine engines (from 10 to 2,200 hp), marine generators (from 5 to 800 kW), maneuvering systems, and dedicated marine interfaces. Its products are developed to meet the performance, durability, and safety demands of leisure boaters, professional operators, and naval applications. With a strong emphasis on innovation and quality control, Nanni’s range addresses propulsion, onboard power generation, and maneuvering needs for a wide variety of vessels.
Today Nanni maintains a global presence, distributing its engines and systems in more than 90 countries through a network of around 850 qualified sales and service partners. This international coverage ensures accessible maintenance, spare parts availability, and technical support for owners and operators worldwide. With extensive experience servicing both recreational and commercial markets, Nanni continues to invest in product development and customer support to meet evolving marine industry standards.
Leisure and Yacht Applications
Nanni’s product portfolio is widely used across the leisure boating sector, including sailboats, powerboats, yachts, and superyachts. Engines and generators are engineered to fit the precise requirements of each vessel class—balancing power, fuel efficiency, noise, and vibration control. Many well-known yacht and catamaran builders equip their vessels with Nanni propulsion and electrical power systems. Examples include the Outremer 52 and 55, Bali catamarans, Lagoon 55, and the Fountaine Pajot Elba 45. In the motor yacht segment, select builds from prestigious shipyards such as Ferretti and Azimut rely on Nanni generators for dependable onboard electrical supply.
Commercial and Naval Applications
For professional and industrial users, Nanni offers durable solutions for fishing vessels, transport craft, offshore support, oil and gas applications, and military use. The company’s marine power systems are engineered to withstand harsh operating conditions and to comply with stringent sector requirements. Nanni supplies specialized packages and services for naval applications and commercial shipping, combining robust hardware with after-sales support to ensure operational readiness and longevity.
Nanni in the American Market
Since 2018, Nanni has strengthened its presence in North America through a strategic partnership with Kraft Power Corporation. Kraft Power, active in both industrial and marine markets with facilities in New Jersey, Atlanta, and Michigan, has accelerated Nanni’s distribution and service footprint across the United States. Through this collaboration, Nanni products are now available via a dealer network of more than 80 partners nationwide, improving access to sales, parts, and technical service.
Kraft Power works closely with notable U.S. boatbuilders including Hinckley Yachts, Tartan, Fortier, Calvin Beal, Nordhavn, and Wesmac Custom Boats, supporting both new-build integrations and aftermarket services. To better serve regional demand, a logistics facility in Atlanta stocks engines and spare parts for rapid distribution. Kraft Power also manages distribution across Mexico and the U.S. Caribbean territories, ensuring broader market coverage and timely support.
Representatives from Nanni and Kraft Power regularly attend major U.S. boat shows—such as Annapolis in October, Fort Lauderdale in November, and Miami in February—where they showcase product innovations, technical solutions, and service capabilities to boatbuilders, dealers, and owners.
“I have been working with Nanni since 2015,” a company spokesperson noted. “Since partnering with Kraft Power in 2018, we have seen a significant increase in sales and brand recognition across the United States, the Caribbean, and Mexico. Kraft Power’s sales, service expertise, and industry knowledge have enabled Nanni to expand quickly, bringing high-quality products and responsive service to many customers.”
