Atlantis the entry Sport Cruiser and Yacht brand of the Azimut Benetti Group presents its new web showroom. The Atlantis story starts in the fall of 2001 when Azimut-Benetti Group will buy Gobbi, a buy-out made by the World largest super yacht builder for a couple reasons; the first is to offer an entry line of sport cruiser from ten to fifteen meters, while the second is speculated to mirror copy Gobbi's assembly line production boat building method which is said to be one of the most efficient in the World. Atlantis will officially debut and start its journey in the fall of 2002 with the 42, first model of the range presented at the Genoa Show of that year. Gobbi was founded in 1960 by Angelo Gobbi and had in its forty years of history produced boats from three to fifteen meters in size, with its largest model the 50 Fly introduced in 1988 and produced till 1991. In 2010 Atlantis will start a renewal of all the range now designed fully by NeoDesign of Biaggi and Salvetti, with this new direction starting with the launch of the 48, and has concluded this year with launch of the new entry level 34, fifth model made by the new project studio and replaces all the previous models which where for the most part Gobbi designed extensions and improvements. Atlantis current range features six models from 34 to the 58 flagship, and includes the trend setting walk around day cabin boat 36 Verve.
In 2013 Azimut-Benetti Group will close the Soriano di Gropparello facility in Piacenza, and will change Atlantis to become a line of Azimut rather then a separate brand. With this change the Atlantis line is now featured in the Azimut website.
