The company was founded in 1928 as a ship repair company[3] by Temistocle Mariotti. In the 1950s the company began to focus on ship conversions. The company entered the cruise ship market in the 1990s. Here it mostly focuses on the ultra luxury cruise ship segment, building ships that are smaller but more luxurious than many of its competitors. The company claims that its ships are built to the highest environmental regulatory standards.

Mariotti entered into a joint venture with Italian steel manufacturer Cimolai S.p.A. to form CI.MAR Costruzioni Navali S.p.A.[4] The joint venture is a shipyard based at Cimolai's facility alongside the Corno River, near San Giorgio di Nogaro.
