Apreamare traces its roots to 1849 on the Sorrento peninsula, and the Gozzo 35 carries that lineage into a thoroughly modern walkaround format. Designed by Umberto Tagliavini for the hull and Marco Casali for the deck and interiors, she combines the soft, rounded lines of a traditional gozzo with contemporary proportions that deliver genuine all-day cruising comfort for up to 14 guests.nnThe hull offers twin inboard options: Volvo Penta D4-270 DPI sterndrive or D4-320 shaft drive, pushing the 11.2-metre hull to 31 or 32 knots respectively. The walkaround layout provides uninterrupted passage from bow to stern, a practical feature for anchoring, docking, and moving around the boat at sea. Below deck, a simple but well-finished cabin with standing headroom and a separate head gives the Gozzo 35 a dimension that pure day boats lack.nnWhat sets the boat apart from other walkarounds in her class is the level of fit and finish. Teak decking, hand-finished gelcoat, stainless-steel hardware, and upholstery details reflect Apreamare’s position as a heritage builder rather than a volume manufacturer. The colour palette is offered as a customisation option, allowing owners to personalise the external livery from classic white to bolder shades. Cataldo Aprea’s creative direction ensures each boat retains the spirit that made the Sorrento gozzo an enduring icon of Mediterranean boating.

Twin Volvo Penta D4 engines in either 270 DPI sterndrive or 320 shaft-drive configuration give the Gozzo 35 a top speed between 31 and 32 knots. The hull shape, developed by Tagliavini with input from Cataldo Aprea, balances the traditional gozzo’s soft entry and round bilge with enough deadrise to handle Mediterranean chop confidently. Cruising in the high twenties feels comfortable and composed, with the hull tracking cleanly through turns without the skittishness that lighter walkarounds can exhibit. Fuel consumption at cruising speed keeps operational costs reasonable for a boat of this type, and the range at economical speeds opens up day-trip distances along the Amalfi Coast, Capri, and the Sorrentine peninsula, the waters for which the gozzo was originally conceived.
Marco Casali’s deck design delivers a walkaround layout with generous proportions that belie the 35-foot length. A continuous side deck runs from bow to stern, providing safe passage around the boat without climbing over obstacles. The aft cockpit serves as the primary social space, with flexible seating arrangements that accommodate both lounging and dining. Forward, a sunpad offers a private retreat with direct access to the anchor locker. Teak decking, polished stainless-steel hardware, and hand-finished gelcoat reflect Apreamare’s heritage standards. The colour palette extends beyond standard white, with optional custom liveries that allow owners to personalise the hull from classic to contemporary. The overall profile maintains the rounded, welcoming silhouette of a traditional gozzo while achieving the freeboard and deck height needed for confident offshore use.
Below deck, the Gozzo 35 offers a single cabin with a double berth, standing headroom, and a separate head compartment. The space is compact but well-considered, with storage integrated into every surface and natural light entering through hull windows and a deck hatch. Materials and finishes are a step above what most 35-foot walkarounds provide: the fit and attention to joinery reflect Apreamare’s position as a heritage builder. The cabin transforms the Gozzo 35 from a pure day boat into a genuine weekender, allowing owners to anchor overnight in secluded coves without sacrificing comfort. For longer passages, the cabin provides a protected retreat from sun and weather that an open console simply cannot match.
Fourteen day guests is a generous capacity for an 11.2-metre boat, and the Gozzo 35’s deck layout earns that number. The aft cockpit seats eight comfortably around a central table, with the option to convert the space for sunbathing when dining is not required. The helm station places the driver slightly elevated with excellent forward and lateral visibility, maintaining the driver’s connection to passengers rather than isolating them behind a console wall. The bow area adds a secondary social zone, accessed via the walkaround side decks, with either sunpads or additional seating depending on specification. A swim platform at the stern provides direct water access, completing the circuit of outdoor living spaces that the Mediterranean gozzo tradition was built around.
Built by Apreamare at their facility on the Sorrento peninsula, each Gozzo 35 carries the DNA of a yard that has been building boats since 1849. Cataldo Aprea’s creative involvement ensures continuity with the gozzo tradition, while the partnership with Tagliavini and Casali brings modern naval architecture and industrial design to every detail. The Volvo Penta D4 powerplant is well-supported across the Mediterranean service network, keeping maintenance practical and predictable. Hull construction in GRP delivers durability and ease of care alongside the traditional aesthetic. For an owner seeking a walkaround that genuinely stands apart from the crowd, one rooted in the oldest continuous boatbuilding tradition in Italy, the Gozzo 35 delivers substance alongside its unmistakable Sorrentine character.
