Producing good sports cruisers means not only overtaking new-fashioned trends and completing projects with authentic personal touch, but also their adjusting to harmony of human dimension for as good as possible social relations between crew members and sojourn aboard in general. Regardless of the fact that Salpa´s boats do not belong to top luxurious boats, but rather to group of vessels affordable to wider range of boaters, seriousness of such approach is evident from attention put into every segment constituting leisure vessel, which also resulted in the shipyard becoming one of the first awarded quality certificate ISO 9002. Italian shipyard Nautica Salpa is specialised in sports cruisers from 20 to 40 feet. Surviving for almost twenty years on such a demanding market as Italian and in category of boats in which competition is the fiercest possible, at the same time managing to sustain independence from giant corporation which, as soon as spotting worthy competition, try to "swallow" it, means that leading people at Salpa have found the key to success. Formula is only seemingly very simple – quality and safety of each boat should be offered at acceptable price with wealthy list of standard equipment.
