Azimut Benetti Group will be displaying 22 boats at Cannes, of which three are world premieres.
The Group says that its financial stability together with its research and innovation skills have enabled it to design 10 new models to be launched for the next European boating season. The first three will be presented in Cannes from September 11-16.
The first launch will be the new Azimut 55S, which you can read about in our Spotlight.
The Italian Group aims to revolutionise the concept of sporty yachts. It offers a new “open space” philosophy in which exteriors and interiors seem to blend seamlessly to accommodate up to 12 guests in the saloon and cockpit.
The Group says that new technologically-advanced solutions (such as IPS pod drives) make it possible to transform the interior and exterior fittings to adapt to specific requirements, with seats that can be converted into sunbathing beds, and an aft bathing platform that pivots and becomes a beach area of about five square metres.
In Europe, there has been great excitement surrounding the new Magellano 43, which is a modern interpretation of the classic trawler. The Magellano 43 combines an eye-catching external design, more contemporary interiors and a layout that encourages on-board socialising, we’re told.
The Magellano 43 has what Azimut calls a "dual mode" hull, which makes it possible to cruise in comfort both at displacement speeds and on the plane. A long cruising range and great versatility are further attributes.
The third new launch is from the Megayacht division of the Azimut Benetti Group. During the show it will showcase the Benetti Classic Supréme 132’.
This model, part of the Class range comprising semi-custom megayachts built of composite materials, is described as a gem of Italian technology and style.
"With its 40 metres of elegance, the Benetti Classic Supréme 132’ is inspired by contemporary taste, offering a decor playing with the natural tones of oak, the warmth of wengé and diamond-worked leather," says Benetti.
