Situated in the industrial zone of Olbia, this yard was opened in 2001 and comprises a 7000m2 indoor area (complete with 14-metre high ceiling, a 20000m2 boatyard (including docking facilities), a 160-tonne travel lift, a temperature- and humidity-controlled area for painting vessels measuring up to 35 metres long, as well as a mechanical workshop and an electrical workshop. Moreover, the yard also offers specialist carpentry, metalwork and upholstering facilities capable of handling motor-powered vessels measuring more than 44 feet long.
In the summer of 2007, the boatyard in Olbia underwent a significant expansion to ready it for the arrival of the Super Yacht. In the process, the Olbia yard became one of the most important technical support centres for vessels measuring up to 60 meters.

The SNO ship-painting facility plays host to a state-of-the-art system with the capacity to coat vessels measuring up to 35 metres in length. Emissions from this facility are well below the legal limit as set out in the environmental directives. An electrically controlled door, four industrial aspirators and several 230 kW burners combine to give total control over humidity and temperature, thus reducing the atmospheric dust generated by the coating cycle and ensuring that the coating is suitable for the specific type of vessel being painted. Other types of coatings can also be used, such as gelcoat with the Awlgrip cycle. In addition, the personnel can also carry out plasterwork on FPR and wooden boats, as well as finishing on products made in the carpentry workshop.
