Abstract
Coastal and inland navigation is a typical activity of yachting, which allows people to visit beautiful and pristine seascapes. These places have very special characteristics. Often they have very shallow water and no basis for mooring; at the same time, most of the marine and inland coasts are not navigable because of their nature of marine reserves. This requires a suitable typology of vessel for yachting, like small pleasure crafts. This first phase of the research reports a series of critical reflections about the conscious design of small crafts, in a specific environmental context. It highlights how a competitive and strategical design for the revaluation of the tourism offering, simultaneously with the conscious design of sustainable products, can be a starting point for viewing the relationships and interactions between the different subjects that make up a system innovation.
