Brand Overview
Italian builder of design-led open and hardtop boats from Calabria — thirteen models in the GT, TT and ST series, from the 8.9-metre GT280 to the 16.9-metre TT550 and ST550, all designed by Christian Grande and built by Aschenez at Borgia.

What this builder is
Invictus Yacht is a brand of Aschenez Srl, registered in Catanzaro with its operational headquarters at Via Donnici 28 in Borgia, Calabria. The yard says Aschenez Shipyards bring together more than twenty years of boatbuilding, with up to 90% of the work done in-house by over a hundred people on a 20,000 sqm site, 9,500 sqm of it covered, including moulding, painting, carpentry, upholstery, electrical and a test basin; hulls are infused in fibreglass and carbon, with pre-preg carbon, honeycomb sub-deck panels and resin-infused polyethylene replacing wood. The range has three series: GT — the GT280, GT320 and GT370 with the half-reverse bow of the GT280, 'the first born', each also in an S version with outboards; TT — the TT280 and TT280S, which the yard pitches both as a day boat and as a maxi-yacht tender, the TT420 and TT420S, the TT460 and the TT550; and ST — the ST550 with an enclosed main deck, the newest and largest. Every model is designed by Christian Grande, and seventeen hull colours, metallic or matt, plus the Atelier programme let owners personalise the boat. Model pages print a short table: length overall, maximum beam, maximum height, displacement, load capacity, persons and permitted power.
Who sails them
Invictus buyers want a boat that is first of all a design statement — the monolithic lines, half-reverse bow and coloured hulls are the point — and like to choose colours and finishes through the Atelier; the larger TT and ST boats suit owners who want two cabins below a sporty Mediterranean deck, and the TT280 is also bought as a tender for a large yacht.
Signature models
The GT280, the first Invictus and the source of the half-reverse bow, defines the brand; the TT460 set the TT line's look, the TT550 — nominated for European Powerboat of the Year 2026 and the Design Innovation Award — is its natural evolution, and the ST550 with its enclosed main deck is the new flagship.
Strengths
The yard is known for Christian Grande's coherent design across every model, carbon and fibreglass infusion with pre-preg carbon and lightweight honeycomb panels, a vertically integrated yard that keeps up to 90% of the work in-house with its own test basin, seventeen hull colours, S versions with outboards, and Volvo Penta IPS on the larger boats.
Considerations
The model tables are short: no tanks, speeds or range, and no cabins except where the ST550 and TT550 texts describe two cabins (the TT550 with a third as an option). 'Permitted power' is the most the hull is rated for, not an installed engine, so horsepower is not entered; 'maximum height' is not stated to be above the waterline and is kept as printed. The drive is named only for the S versions (outboards), the GT370 and TT280 (sterndrive) and the IPS boats. The Capoforte boats shown on the site are a separate marque.

History
Invictus Yacht is built by Aschenez Shipyards, which the yard says bring together more than twenty years of experience in building pleasure boats. Production is vertically integrated, with up to 90% of the work carried out in-house by more than a hundred people, on a site of 20,000 sqm of which 9,500 sqm are covered: offices, moulding, painting, a test basin where every system of each boat is checked, assembly, finishing, a furniture workshop, carpentry, electrical systems, an RTM department, a textile division and the Atelier Invictus. Hulls are infused in fibreglass and carbon fibre, and the yard lists its newer steps — structural tanks, pre-preg carbon, recyclable honeycomb panels for the sub-deck walls and resin-infused high-density polyethylene in place of internal wooden structures. It names the GT280 Carbon Look, whose black finish is a clear treatment over bare carbon rather than paint, as a milestone. Hull colour has always been part of the brand: seventeen options, metallic or matt, in classic and extended versions.
