Nautical compass: an essential tool for those who love the sea

In the world of navigation, precision makes the difference between a safe course and a potentially risky mistake. The nautical compass, an essential tool for chart work and route planning, continues to be a reference point for captains, instructors, students and enthusiasts alike.

For decades, Aricci Compassi has been manufacturing high-quality nautical compasses in Italy, designed to withstand the stresses of the marine environment and offer a smooth, reliable and long-lasting user experience.

Packaging and customization of the nautical compass

The nautical compass can be supplied:

in single packs or in filing kits;
with customized logo or colour;
in a protective imitation leather envelope or hard case.

A perfect product for nautical schools that want a personalized brand to give to students during the course.

What makes a nautical compass truly professional?

A true nautical compass is not limited to drawing circles or segments:
it is an orientation tool, an educational tool, and, for many, a valuable ally in training or deep-sea navigation.

A good chart compass should be:

solid and moisture resistant;
easy to grip even with wet hands;
precise measurements: very thin, well-defined tips for maximum precision;
reliable even on moving chart tables.

Where to use it

Aricci nautical compasses are used in a wide variety of contexts:

courses for boat licences;
chartwork lessons in the classroom or on board;
official examinations at the Harbour Master’s Offices;
nautical schools and technical institutes;
nautical agencies, charter fleets, professional sailors;
enthusiasts of coastal or offshore sailing.

Made in Italy

Every Aricci nautical compass is designed and manufactured in Italy, at the historic headquarters in Palosco, in the province of Bergamo, where technical drawing instruments have been manufactured for over sixty years and exported all over the world.

The design is functional, understated and elegant. The selected materials guarantee corrosion resistance, ease of use and long service life, even in extreme conditions.
