Azimut New Web Site

Azimut Yachts presents its new website. Head quartered in Italy Turin, with other construction sites located in Viareggio and Fano in Italy, and in Itajai in Brazil, Azimut continues to make innovation in design of the yachts its priority.  Azimut was started by Paolo Vitelli in 1969, who will retire in 2022 to give leading duties to his daughter Giovanna Vitelli in 2022.  Poalo Vitelli starts as a sailing charter company in 1969, two years after in 1971 he becomes a yachts dealer for Dutch builder Amerglass and Moody sailing yachts.  In 1975 marks the humble beginnings of Azimut the yacht builder with the AZ43 Bali, as designed by Bernard Olesinski with a lot of input coming from Vitelli in the design of the flybridge cruiser.  The first few units of the Azimut 43 Bali are joint built with the Dutch Amerglass, but production is moved in Italy in the first year and built by sub-contractors most notably Marchi from Venice.  Sub-contracting its builds will mark the first years of Azimut as a yacht builder.  The first Azimut is followed by the 32 Targa in 1977, a huge success for Azimut sold in 197 units in a ten year production run and is also the first cruiser with an opening sunroof. This is followed by an extended 46 Bali which arrives in 1978.  In 1983 Azimut enters super yachting with the launch of the 105 Failaka, which was also the biggest production made fiberglass yacht.  Azimut will start to make group in 1985 as it buys bankrupted Benetti in 1985.  In 1987 Azimut challenges the Blue Riband with the Azimut Atlantic Challenger, a yacht designed with Pininfarina and Fiat navigation system.  In 1991 Azimut debuts frame less glass windows on its yachts, with the AZ43 Quarantatre, what is a first for a European builder, and second in the World following Carver.  In 1999 Azimut-Benetti Group becomes the World top builder of super yachts above 24 meters in size, a position the Italian yacht builder still holds 22 years later.  2003 marks the launch of the 68S marking at entry for Azimut to the Sports Yacht segment which today has a range from 60 up to 100 feet.  In 2009 Azimut presents the dual mode hull semi displacement with 74 Magellano which enters the shipyard in the Explorer yacht category in its own terms. Azimut current line up has five collections; Fly, S, Grande, Magellano, Verve, and Atlantis which start from twelve meters with the 42 Verve and go up to 38 meter Trideck totaling 23 models. Azimut's new website is available in Italian and English and takes you around with the following buttons; Yachts, Find a Dealer, News and Events, Company.  Azimut has also its social media pages; Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Linkedin with direct links located at the bottom of the page.
