Watch the full video and explore the design philosophy behind the Stradivari line:
A project driven by passion for detail
Since 2015, Matteo Riccardi has been leading technical innovation at Cantieri Capelli, developing a range that merges Cremonese craftsmanship, advanced technology, and carefully refined aesthetics.
The Stradivari 52 — a natural evolution of the 43 — represents the peak of this vision:
15.5 meters in length
Spacious indoor and outdoor areas
Premium finishes, tailored layouts, and full customization
Available in two color configurations — Mediterranean White and Ebony Intense — the 52 is designed for those who seek refinement, performance, and exclusivity.
A new approach to onboard living
Every space on the Stradivari 52 has been reimagined to offer an even more exclusive experience.
The flush teak deck enhances the comfort of outdoor living, while the aft social area — featuring twin benches and a C-shaped sofa — creates a welcoming, stylish atmosphere.
Below deck, the layout includes a private owner’s cabin, a separate corridor space, and a full bathroom with chromotherapy shower — all designed to ensure privacy and comfort while at sea.
Elka on board: visible quality, reliable collaboration
Since 2021, Elka has been the official technical partner for the Stradivari range. As Riccardi shares, the partnership came from a desire to find a company able to reflect the same precision and quality in faucet design as those found in the vessel itself.
Elka’s contributions include:
Pop-up taps and outdoor showers
Custom elements for below-deck spaces
Finishes coordinated with the vessel’s color scheme
A collaboration that combines functional design, marine durability, and tailored engineering.
