The collaboration between Quick Group and Invictus Yacht represents one of the most tangible examples of technological integration and shared development in the contemporary marine industry. A relationship built over time, founded on research, customization, and a constant dialogue between shipyard and supplier, which today results in the adoption of advanced systems on some of the Italian brand’s most iconic models, including the TT550 and ST550 flagships. In this partnership, Quick Group’s approach goes well beyond the simple supply of components: the company acts as a technical and design partner, contributing to the development of custom OEM solutions and setting new technological standards for the nautical sector.
Quick Group and Invictus Yacht: A Collaboration Built Over Time
The relationship between Quick Group and Invictus Yacht dates back to well before the official birth of the Invictus Yacht brand in 2014. “We started working with the shipyard even before the Invictus Yacht brand was born in 2014,” says Alessandro Fiorentini, Key Account Manager at Quick Group. “Right from the start, we collaborated with the team, building the relationship and tackling the first challenges together. It started with key products like windlasses and battery chargers, and then progressively expanded to lighting systems—including underwater ones—and water heaters, eventually extending the supply to other brands within the Group as well.”
Over the years, this synergy has expanded to involve numerous aspects of onboard design, from energy management to lighting, right up to stabilization and anchoring systems.
TT550 and ST550: Integrated Technology Enhancing the Onboard Experience
The two flagships, Invictus TT550 and Invictus ST550, presented at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, represent the most advanced synthesis of this collaboration. Both models, 16.87 meters long, interpret two different philosophies of experiencing the sea: the ST550 prioritizes comfort and interior spaces, while the TT550 focuses on a more open layout geared toward outdoor living.
On both yachts, Quick Group systems are extensively featured: windlasses, mooring systems developed by Sanguineti, LED lighting, water heaters, management systems, and, in the case of the ST550, even the latest-generation gyroscopic stabilizer developed by the group. Particularly significant is the work done on integrated lighting systems, designed to improve both production efficiency and the overall onboard experience.
From Catalog to Customization
One of the distinctive elements of the collaboration is the ability to transform standard products into customized solutions developed together with the shipyard. “The Quick Group catalog is extensive and offers a wide range of products for recreational boating, from lighting solutions to steering and maneuvering systems” states Domenico Vitaliano, Quality Control Manager at Invictus Yacht. “The proposed projects are often compelling because they are complete in every aspect, allowing for seamless installation while maintaining the builder’s originality.”
The collaboration also extends to the development of new technologies. “During the initial stages of designing and updating the shipyard’s model lines, we frequently consult with the Group’s engineers to develop custom products” continues Vitaliano. “A prime example is the collaboration between technicians that led to the creation of an innovative RGBW lighting management system, capable of optimizing lighting application times.” This evolution helps reduce installation times, simplifies maintenance, and improves the overall reliability of onboard systems.
Production Efficiency and Perceived Quality
For Quick Group, the value of the partnership also lies in sharing high quality standards and the ability to tangibly improve the owner’s experience. “We are not just a supplier, but a true partner” emphasizes Stefano Tinti, OEM Sales Director at Quick Group. “We have direct contact with all departments of the shipyard—technical office, purchasing, and production—to develop products, share ideas, and forecast their stock needs for production.”
According to Tinti, the quality perceived by the end customer represents the true meeting point between shipyard and supplier. “For us, Invictus shares our exact philosophy regarding quality levels and people’s commitment, because passionate people work there too. This quality reflects all the way down to the end user.”
Innovation and Technological Integration
Quick Group’s strategy increasingly looks toward integrated systems and interoperable platforms. Among the most recent developments are the integration of thrusters with advanced systems like Volvo Penta’s Assisted Docking System and Mercury Marine’s Joystick Piloting System, in addition to the evolution of components such as hatches, pantograph doors, and smart LED systems.
“Most innovations are driven by the end customer, and having a direct link with the shipyard means receiving exactly what the customer wants,” explains Fiorentini. “This allows us to capture new market trends and develop the appropriate solutions.” It is an approach that reflects the shift in owners’ habits and the way contemporary boating is experienced—increasingly geared toward comfort, ease of use, and digital integration.
A Partnership Model Looking to the Future
The collaboration between Quick Group and Invictus Yacht highlights how the relationship between shipyard and supplier is evolving toward increasingly integrated and strategic models. The goal is not just to provide high-quality components, but to contribute directly to defining the onboard experience, improving production efficiency, reliability, and owner satisfaction.
“The two brands—Quick Group and Invictus Yacht—work exceptionally well together in developing design solutions to achieve the perfect balance between quality and aesthetics,” concludes Vitaliano. “Sharing the importance of product image and reliability is fundamental to choosing unique and innovative solutions.”
Conclusions
In the contemporary yachting landscape, collaboration between shipyards and technology suppliers takes on an increasingly central role in defining the perceived quality on board. The partnership between Quick Group and Invictus Yacht demonstrates how design integration, shared innovation, and customization can translate into a concrete competitive advantage, both for the builder and the end owner. The evolution of onboard systems, which are increasingly smart and interconnected, fundamentally requires continuous collaboration across different areas of expertise. And it is precisely in this synergy between design, technology, and reliability that the future of premium yachting is built today.
