Historic Italian yard Verga1958 has announced the introduction of cryptocurrency payments on its online store Verga 1958 Boutique, becoming the first boatyard in Europe to accept cryptocurrency for the direct purchase of boats and accessories.
Founded in 1958 by Cav. del Lavoro Giancarlo Verga and Pierangela Cairoli, the company acted as a trailblazer of fibreglass boats and unsinkable plastic hulls, now run by Franca Verga and Roberto Bitturini.
In addition to producing boats such as the Sestante 6.8, an elegant day cruiser inspired by La Dolce Vita, and the transparent Coral View 250 tender, Verga1958 has developed a contract vacuum thermoforming division specialising in technopolymers such as ABS, compact polystyrene, polycarbonate and other technical materials, positioning itself as a high-tech industrial partner for various sectors.
“Those who opt for crypto choose a specific language,” explains Stefano Bitturini. “They are used to moving between digital assets, to travelling and buying in real time. We wanted the purchase of one of our boats to live up to this mindset. No time zone constraints, no friction: just you, your wallet and the boat you have chosen.”
The introduction of cryptocurrency payments brings a native digital shopping experience to the boating world. Transactions on the Verga 1958 Boutique platform are immediate, certified on Blockchain and designed for those already operating in the digital asset ecosystem, whether they are private boat owners, international customers or industry professionals.
