Azimut Benetti launch 20
An armada of special Italian boats at this week's Cannes Boat ShowThe Azimut Benetti Group will showcase a veritable armada at the Cannes Boat Show opening this week (September 10-15). Three of the 20 boats on display will be making their world premiere.
Among the new launches are three completely new Azimut Yachts: the Azimut 80, Azimut Magellano 53, and Azimut Atlantis 50.
The Azimut 80 is the new, highly anticipated 24-metre boat in the Flybridge Collection, designed to "embody a lifestyle where comfort and well-being merge with sophisticated and understated elegance."
With the proven success of their prior collaborations in larger models, Stefano Righini (exteriors) and Achille Salvagni Architetti (interiors) teamed up once again for the new 80.
The result is a design which revolves around four different stylistic proposals, each one distinct in terms of its colours and furnishing. They are called Portofino, Dolce Vita, Firenze, and Riviera.
The long-range Azimut collection is further enriched by the new 53, the first model in the range to offer three comfortable cabins, a utility room, and a crew cabin with separate bathroom. Azimut says it's a perfect set up for long cruises, with great style, comfort, flexibility, and outstanding range.
Azimut's new Atlantis 50 makes a two-fold debut; the Atlantis brand (already well known among open-cruiser enthusiasts) becomes a full member of the Azimut Yachts collections with the unveiling of this model.
The Atlantis models join the Magellano, Flybridge, S, and Grande Collections, successfully completing the merging of Atlantis with Azimut Yachts, meaning Azimut Yachts now offers a most extensive range of 34’ to 120’ vessels in a wide variety of styles.
Meanwhile, the Tuscan Benetti boatyard will introduce a third line of fast yachts dubbed Fast Displacement. The name of the new line of fast-displacement composite yachts was created to "tap into a strong and as yet unexplored market in custom superyachts with a sporty spirit."
These are vessels characterised by their versatility, speed (when called for) and efficiency, while remaining extremely comfortable in displacement mode.
The new F-125’ is the second in the Fast Displacement line next to the F-140'. Packed with technology, the F-125' is a composite construction yacht built at the Viareggio boatyard. The 38-metre semi-wide body boat has three decks, plus a sun deck.
Azimut Benetti says "the sporty exterior employs generous amounts of horizontal windows to accentuate the sleek lines; its hallmark is a large central design element at the sides enclosing the upper deck stair.
The two Fast Displacement series models were designed by Benetti with Stefano Righini and in collaboration with the Azimut Benetti Group Research and Development centre, which designed the hull geometry exclusively for the new line.
Exclusive local Azimut importers and distributor's 5 Star Motor Cruisers will be attending the 2013 Cannes and Genova boat shows.
