Nautical excellence requires tailoring answers, not catalog products. In our Tessitura in Busto Arsizio, in the historic heart of the Italian textile district, we design and manufacture nautical fabrics for interiors and luxury nautical linens 100% Made in Italy. We control the entire supply chain internally, from the selection of original yarns to textile ennobling, offering shipyards, designers and charter companies a freedom of total and exclusive personalization.
In the nautical sector, where excellence is a must, every detail defines the onboard experience. ZA&BEL partners with shipyards, private yachts, charter brokers, and high-end vessels, providing professional linens designed to withstand the challenges of the marine environment, enhance interior design, and offer impeccable comfort to the owner and their guests.
Thanks to state-of-the-art looms, carefully selected yarns, and rigorous quality controls, we produce towels, beach towels for beach clubs, bathrobes, and coordinating sets for changing rooms. Each item is designed to ensure superior durability, optimized absorbency, and absolute dimensional stability, withstanding frequent washing and the demanding maintenance schedules typical of shipboard crews.
Our manufacturing expertise is combined with maximum production flexibility. We offer the option to customize weights, color palettes, finishes, and dimensions, creating tailor-made solutions for any yacht that wants to stand out:
A long tradition of manufacturing at the service of yachting.
Our nautical fabrics are born in the heart of the historic textile district of Busto Arsizio. This allows us to exercise direct and rigorous control over every single phase of the supply chain, guaranteeing impeccable sartorial finishes and an obsessive attention to detail. Choosing ZA&BEL means bringing on board the prestige of true Made in Italy, enhancing the aesthetics and value of the internal and external layout of yachts and superyachts.
Custom details and bespoke designs to reflect your yacht’s identity.
Each boat has unique lines and spaces. We offer total production flexibility to shape boat sheets for beds or cabin linen following the specifications required. We coordinate the entire supply with the color palette of the boat, inserting the name or the heraldic crest through refined high definition industrial embroidery or exclusive jacquard textures directed in the plot.
Indanthren yarns designed to withstand sun, chlorine, and salt.
Nautical fabrics on board face the most extreme environmental conditions. Our sponges are made with a double twisted structure and special technological finishes that protect the fibers from the corrosive action of salt and UV radiation. Thanks to the Indanthren dye, the colors remain bright and unchanged over time, while the reinforced perimeter seams prevent fraying and structural deformations season after season.
Absolute biocompatibility and skin protection, even in the open sea.
All of our textile production complies with the rigorous international OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, which certifies the complete absence of toxic substances, heavy metals, or harmful chemical residues in the yarns. When exposed to the sun, heat, and salt, the skin is naturally more exposed, vulnerable, and permeable: our terry cloth guarantees complete skin compatibility, offering guests exceptional comfort with the utmost assurance of health safety.
The ultimate in onboard comfort. Towels made of pure Egyptian cotton or long-staple cotton with extra-high thread counts, designed to offer unparalleled softness and a cozy feel. Specially treated to maintain their softness even when exposed to salt and sea air, preventing the stiffening effect typical of fabrics exposed to the sea.
Generous sized boat towels designed for outdoor sun loungers and yacht relaxation areas. Made with haute couture finishes and UV-resistant yarns and discoloration caused by the sun and chlorine of the on-board swimming pools. Perfect for rapidly absorbing moisture after a swim in the sea.
Exclusive garments for guests and the yacht owner, available with a shawl collar, hood, or modern kimono cut. Each bathrobe is finished with meticulous attention to detail and can be personalized with high-definition embroidery featuring the yacht’s name or logo. OEKO-TEX®-certified fabrics that feel soft against the skin and are instantly absorbent.
ZA&BEL provides full of custom-made M1 flame retardant, flame retardant, cut and sewn-in-Cuttered duvet covers. Made of PERCALLE or pure cotton satin with a very high number of threads (thread count), guarantee freshness and breathability in marine environments.
Designed to combine the elegance of luxury interiors with the safety needed on board while sailing. These heavy-duty terry cloth mats instantly absorb water and are designed to fit perfectly on bathroom or cabin surfaces, preventing dangerous movement or slipping caused by rolling.
A line designed specifically to meet the needs of the crew. These towels combine the reliability and durability—even after frequent washing—typical of ZA&BEL’s professional lines with a neat and coordinated look, perfect for maintaining the aesthetic standards required on board superyachts.
Together, we determine the ideal weight and proportions to ensure superior comfort, selecting special yarns that can withstand exposure to salt, sun, chlorine, and repeated washings. From choosing color schemes that coordinate with the boat’s design to creating logos and names in jacquard or with high-precision embroidery, we bring to life exquisitely crafted collections that faithfully reflect the identity and prestige of your yacht.
A collection of stories and feedback that testify to our passion for textiles
And the trust placed in us over time.
No, because we use only long-staple cotton treated with Indanthren dye. This process locks the color deep within the fiber, making the fabrics resistant to UV rays, sea salt, and chlorine from pool water. Furthermore, the unique looped structure keeps the terry cloth soft, flexible, and pleasant against the skin even after repeated exposure to the blazing sun and salty sea breeze, preventing the typical “stiff” feel of ordinary terry cloth.
We offer two different technologies depending on the project. For maximum exclusivity, we can weave the name or logo directly into the terry cloth using a Jacquard loom: the brand thus becomes an integral part of the fabric, permanently embedded and visible on both sides. Alternatively, for total flexibility even with small batches, we create ultra-high-definition industrial embroidery with millimeter-precise placement, using special nautical yarns that do not fray or lose their luster with washing.
On board, guests spend hours in direct contact with beach towels and bathrobes under the sun—conditions in which sweat and heat open the pores, making the skin extremely permeable. Our international certification guarantees the complete absence of toxic substances, heavy metals, or allergenic chemical fixatives in the fabrics. Offering a 100%-certified biologically safe terry cloth is a prerequisite for safety and care that raises the yacht’s hospitality standards and protects the health of even the most discerning guests.
Our fabrics undergo special protective finishes during the weaving process that limit the deep penetration of oils and chemical filters typically found in sunscreen lotions. Thanks to the stability of the Indanthren dye, the crew can use professional degreasing detergents and specific onboard industrial washing programs to completely remove yellowish or oily stains, without the risk of altering the terry cloth’s base color or weakening the embroidery’s hold.
Absolutely. To make it easier for flight attendants to manage laundry and uniform rotations, we offer the option to differentiate supplies using color codes (for example, different shades for the Deck and Engine sections) or by adding high-definition identifying embroidery (such as “Crew,” “Captain,” or the yacht’s logo in a custom color scheme). This system prevents garments from getting mixed up among the cabins, maintains a strict organizational standard on board, and extends the useful life of all linens.
