Brenta Design, now known as Michael Schmidt Yachtbau (MSY), is a prestigious boat manufacturer renowned for creating high-end, luxury sailing yachts. The company was originally founded in Italy in 1980 by Lorenzo Argento and Luca Brenta with the vision to create innovative boats. Known for their passion for sailing and their superior design skills, they quickly became one of the leading boat manufacturers in the industry.
The company underwent a significant change in 2014 when Michael Schmidt, the founder of Hanse Yachts, acquired Brenta Design. With this acquisition, they also changed their name to Michael Schmidt Yachtbau (MSY) and relocated their operations to Greifswald, Germany. Schmidt, having a background as a sailor and boat builder, brought a new perspective to the brand while still maintaining the original Brenta vision.
Today, MSY continues the Brenta legacy by creating custom sailing yachts, with a focus on performance, innovation, and quality. Their exceptional yachts are known worldwide and have received numerous awards for their design and craftsmanship. Their ability to integrate modern technology with traditional boat-building techniques have placed them at the forefront of the luxury sailing yacht industry. They continue to push the boundaries of boat design, proving their reputation as pioneers in the field.
