Quick Group is strengthening its position as the leading technology partner for major European shipyards thanks to its close collaboration with Invictus Yacht, a partnership that combines innovation, engineering, and customization to enhance the onboard experience. The partnership between the two companies, which has been active for over a decade, is now reaching new heights with the integration of multiple Quick Group systems into the new Invictus TT550 and ST550 models, unveiled worldwide at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival.

The relationship between Quick Group and Invictus Yacht goes far beyond a mere business agreement. The two companies have been working closely together since the earliest stages of each vessel’s design, developing specific solutions tailored to the Italian shipyard’s needs.

Quick Group, one of the leading international manufacturers of marine equipment, supplies Invictus Yacht with a wide range of systems and components, ranging from anchor winches, technical lighting, and water heaters to gyroscopic stabilizers and advanced mooring solutions.

According to Alessandro Fiorentini, Key Account Manager at Quick Group, the partnership began even before the official launch of the Invictus Yacht brand in 2014. Since then, the relationship has evolved into a model of ongoing collaboration between the technical, production, and purchasing departments of both companies.

Technology and design designed to enhance onboard comfort

The new Invictus TT550 and ST550 represent the pinnacle of this technological collaboration. At 16.87 meters in length, both models stand out for combining contemporary design, premium materials, and a high level of comfort on board.

For these vessels, Quick Group supplies interior and exterior LED lighting systems, windlasses, tender recovery winches, mooring systems developed by Sanguineti, and state-of-the-art gyroscopic stabilizers.

Of particular note is the new stabilization system installed in the ST550, which has recently been optimized to deliver improved performance while taking up less space. In addition, the company has reinforced the system’s reliability with an extended four-year warranty.

The collaboration has also led to the development of specific solutions, such as an innovative RGBW lighting management system, jointly designed by the technical teams of both companies to reduce installation time and improve production efficiency.

Innovation focused on efficiency and customization

One of the aspects most valued by Invictus Yacht is Quick Group’s ability to tailor its products to the specific needs of each project. The collaboration between the two brands has led to technological advancements that not only enhance the aesthetics and functionality of the vessels but also improve manufacturing and maintenance processes.

Among the most notable innovations are the new plug-and-play connection systems for LED lighting, which can drastically reduce installation times. According to Quick Group, tasks that previously required two workers working for eight hours can now be completed in just one hour.

Such advancements have a direct impact on both the shipyard’s operational efficiency and the final quality as perceived by the shipowner.

The shipowner’s experience is our top priority

The philosophy shared by Quick Group and Invictus Yacht is rooted in a common goal: to enhance the sailing experience and life on board. Quality, reliability, safety, and design are the cornerstones of this strategic partnership.

For Invictus Yacht, having a supplier capable of providing global technical support and reliable solutions is key to enhancing customer satisfaction and the brand’s long-term reputation. Furthermore, Quick Group’s ability to identify new market trends through its direct contact with shipyards enables it to develop products aligned with new ways of enjoying boating.

Quick Group’s strategy is moving toward an increasingly connected marine industry through integrated systems and interoperable platforms, including the recent integration of propulsion systems with technologies such as Volvo Penta’s Assisted Docking and Mercury Marine’s Joystick Piloting.

A future shaped by technological integration

Looking ahead, Quick Group continues to expand its technology ecosystem through new integrations with maneuvering assistance platforms developed by Volvo Penta and Mercury Marine. These solutions will further optimize the boating experience and expand automation capabilities on recreational boats and luxury yachts.

The partnership with Invictus Yacht demonstrates how collaboration between equipment manufacturers and shipyards can serve as a driver of innovation capable of transforming the modern boating experience.
