Capoforte marks 100th SX200 with Venice-inspired San Marco special edition

1 min read

Italian boatbuilder Capoforte will unveil the SX200 San Marco at the 2026 Genoa International Boat Show, celebrating the production milestone of 100 units for its entry-level model.

The special edition draws from Venetian visual heritage. The ruby-red hull is intended to evoke the velvet drapery of palazzi along the Grand Canal, while a black lower hull references lagoon reflections after dark. Bronze-finished metalwork replaces conventional polished stainless steel, nodding to historic Venetian architectural fittings. Designer Roberto Delfanti led the special-edition project.

"The inspiration is Venice. Not simply a city, but a universal symbol where water becomes architecture and elegance," said Valentina Procopio, Operational Marketing Manager for parent company Aschenez Group, which also owns Invictus Yacht and Marcopolo.

"Every colour, finish and texture contributes to creating a coherent and distinctive identity," Procopio said.

The deck retains the SX200's established layout with configurable bow and stern zones that function as either sunpads or living spaces. Upholstery upgrades include skai backrests and high-end textured fabrics, while the helm console uses Hi-Macs with a black marble-effect finish.

The standard SX200 is Capoforte's entry-level model, built as a 6.1 metre package with outboard power up to 150 hp giving speeds above 30 knots, with 20 knots offering a practical cruising compromise. The offset helm station allows direct bow-to-stern access while preserving side deck space for a grill unit.

The Genoa show runs 1–6 October 2026. Capoforte will display the San Marco edition alongside the SX200, SQ240, CX240 Summer Edition and CX280 at Hall B, Stand BD5.
