Tecnomar New Web Site

Tecnomar from Italy updates its virtual World wide web showroom to a new platform. Tecnomar is founded in 1987 by the Sarti family, as it buys performance offshore boat and yacht builder Bruno Benetti.  Bruno Benetti actually debuts the previous year in 1986 with the high performance 50 Offshore model as designed by Cougar. The 50 Offshore is followed in a year by three smaller 35 to 45 foot models, who like the bigger sister are also powerboat style cruisers and designed by Cougar.  In 1991 the Bruno Benetti name is removed as Tecnomar starts to label the models only with its name.  In 1993 with the launch of the three cabin TB 58 Tecnomar offers its first more comfort orientated sport yacht.  In 1997 Tecnomar builds its first super 24 metres plus size yacht with the different to its usual offer only one custom build Ventoteso 35, a displacement ship style yacht as designed by Vripack and build of steel.  The one off Ventoteso 35 is the only Tecnomar build of steel to date.  The second super yacht comes three years later in 2001 as Tecnomar launch the semi-custom super sport yacht production Velvet 24 model. In the new millennium Tecnomar expands the semi production super yacht 24 meters and bigger offer, and by 2004 the company delivered its bigger yacht under the old Sarti management with the 35 Velvet, the first hull commissioned by renowned football player and manager Roberto Mancini. In January 2009 Tecnomar changes ownership and becomes part of the Italian Sea Group with Giovanni Costantino taking the role of Chairman and CEO, and production moving a bit further North to Massa Carrara. Tecnomar largest build to date is the 45m Nadara launched in 2010 and able to reach max speeds up to thirty knots.  Today Tecnomar currently offers six models divided in three different ranges; T-Evo, Multihull, and Tecnomar for Lamborghini build in aluminium and or fibreglass.  The range offer starts from social media's favorite yacht the twenty meter Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, and goes up to the T-Evo 155 for length or the C 145 catamaran for volume.

Galeon New Web Site

Galeon presents its new web site. Founded in 1982 by Wieczysław Kobylko, also known as Janek, for Galeon it is a small start which will lead to an important growth into the years, that will make it one of Europe's important and innovative production boat and yacht builders. In the beginning Galeon started building small dinghies and fiberglass fishing boats. In 1992 Galeon starts its path to growth as it gets a contract to build boats for a French boat manufacturer. In 1996 Galeon launches the 280 Fly with inboards, soon followed by the 380 Fly, an important step which shows the way forward to build its own cabin cruisers of important dimensions. In 2002 Galeon will split the small outboard boats into the Galia brand, which today builds eight models from four to seven meters. 2003 marks the start of the still ongoing collaboration with British yacht designer Tony Castro, who debuts with the at 440 Fly, Galeon flagship model for a couple years. In the fall of 2006 Galeon presents its first yacht over fifty foot 530 Fly model, this is followed a year later by the larger 640 Fly twenty meter flagship, in 2009 by the 700 Raptor, and then the 780 Fly in 2011. For eleven years the 780 Fly will be Galeon largest model, that is until the 800 Fly arrives in 2022. While going bigger has been important to upscale the image of Galeon, the Polish builder boldest step came in 2015 as it introduced the 500 Fly with folding bulk heads expanding the aft deck entertainment spaces. Although the folding or expanding bulkheads solutions were used by other boat builders in the sporty and super yacht segment, the 500 Fly was the first flybridge yacht to use such solutions. This proved to be a winner for Galeon as the company started to use the expanding space solution on nearly all the models above twelve meters in size. Other important steps for Galeon was expanding its production facilities in Gdansk, while in 2012 Jacek Kobylko, Wieczyslaw son takes over the direction of the company. In 2014 Galeon also enters the North American market, with this step becoming an important growth decision as it signs exclusive representation with MarineMax in 2016. Currently Galeon produces 23 models in six lines; GTO/GTI, Hardtop, Sport Cruiser, Flybridge, Skydeck, and Explorer. Galeon's offer starts with the just arrived 335 GTO, and goes up to the 800 Fly, with its latest offer being the 430 Explorer, and 620 Fly. Galeon's new website takes you around with the following buttons; About Us, News and Events, Yachts, and Find A Dealer.

Dalla Pieta New Web Site

Dalla Pieta from Venice, Italy presents its new World wide web showroom.  Dalla Pieta was started in 1949 when Bepi Dalla Pieta builds his first boat, but it will be ten years later to this when the first establishment is opened on the Giudecca island in Venice.  The first builds of Bepi Dalla Pieta are outboard sport boats from four to seven meters named; Rio, Laguna, and Ionio and these are soon followed by other inboard models; Adriatico, Tirreno, and Pacifico.  Thanks to its Hunt inspired deep Vee hulls various Dalla Pieta models have success in many competitions and soon the name is associated with good sea keeping, so the company launches the revolutionary Manta a boat fully dedicated to racing.  In the seventies Dalla Pieta due to more clients demand moves its premises to Marghera where it can build larger craft up to fourteen meters.  In the eighties comes the transfer of ownership to the sons of Bepi; Gianni and Giorgio who expand to a new production facility in Fusina-Malcontenta in 1987, switching all production to fiberglass, following the debut of the DP6 in 1986, which is followed with the the 28 and 37 Altair sport cruisers.  This is followed by the 43, the 52 Asterion flybridge motor yacht, and the very revolutionary for the early nineties 43 and 55 Al Na'Ir fully enclosed hard top models.  Both the Al Na'Ir featured a patio door and an opening canopy capsule style hard top which was ahead of its time.  In 2000 Andrea Mevorach buys Dalla Pieta, and brings important organizational changes with Michele Cazzanti head of the company sided along Giorgio, and engineer Fausto Colombi coming from Riva and Sarnico yards taking responsibility of building. This new energy gives huge growth to Dalla Pieta in the period 2002 to 2007, stopped only as the 2008 Big Recession hits the World and the yachting sector at the fall of that year.  In 2010 following a period under administration Dalla Pieta is purchased by Jian Yong Zhu and Millennium Marine company who gives the helm to Franco Nocera and Giovan Battista Penzo, both part of the Venice brand recent history, with this experience lasting about five years, as the Chinese ownership seems confused.  In 2022 Giorgio Dalla Pieta along with other investors from the Veneto region buys back the Dalla Pieta name in 2022.  Today Dalla Pieta offers three sport yacht models, all in project stages from fifteen to 26 meters; and start with the DP 50 HT Re-Evoluzione and go to the DP 86 HT Re-Evoluzione.  Dalla Pieta new web site is available in Italian and English language and takes you around with the following buttons; Home, Mission, Yachts, Refitting, and About.

Princess New Web Site

Princess updates it's new World wide web showroom to a new version.  Princess original debut comes in the fall of 1969, although the company forms its foundations in 1963 and 1965.  In 1963 three ex-naval officers Cliff Viney, Brian Phillips and David King, will buy a hull and deck mould of a Senior 31 boat to fit out for a charter business.  The trio will find it hard to get deposits and firm bookings in charter and decide to sell the fitted out 31 boat.  Finding the sell easy to do, they found Marine Projects in 1965, and present the Project 31 foot motor cruiser, a design improved Senior 31 which debuts in that same year.  It will take four years and two smaller Project's and Pilgrim model, when in 1969 Marine Projects presents the Project 31 replacement, the Princess 32.  Princess has arrived with the 32, which produced till 1980 will sell in two thousand units, writing history as the Plymouth yacht builder best seller to date.  In 1974 Princess hires John Bennett to design the planning V-shaped hull version of the 37.  The Bennett collaboration will last till 1980 when they hire Bernard Olesinski to design the 30DS, who since then has designed all Princess models.  The 30DS will also be another of Princess's best selling models, with over five hundred units sold in a ten year production which also includes the Flybridge and S versions.  In 1983 Princess enters the open sport cruiser market with the Riviera line and the 286, followed by a 36 Riviera, with the larger being the 46 Riviera and smallest the 266 Riviera.  Princess will make seven different Riviera models produced for thirteen years and till 1996, with line replaced by the V series line of open sport cruisers and yachts in the fall of 1995.  The V series is distinctive and modern with its Italian design inspired integrated windshield radar arch and straight sheer line, and debuts with the two V39 and V52 models.  Still ongoing the Princess V-series will never stop expanding entering into the hard-top design with the first generation V65 launched in 2000, and arriving to its largest size with the 2010 to 2012 produced V85-S.  Currently the V-series offers four models from the V40 to the fourth generation V65.  In 1996 Princess launched the M-line of flagship motor yachts, debuting the new 22M, with this followed by the 20M in that same years, and the 25M which arriving in 2001 enter Princess into the 24 meters plus super yacht size.  In 2011 Princess pushes more into super yacht with the renewed M class line, first with the 32M, which is followed in 2012 by the largest Princess to date and composite boat ever build in the UK the 40M. The renewed M series had a total of four models including the 35M and 30M, this smaller M being the newer and last model in the line, was dropped in 2020.  In 2020 Princess will debut the volume focused X range as designed by Pininfarina and Olesinski, and debuting with the X95 and is followed by the X80 the following year.  From 1973 to 2003 Marine Projects also part-owned sailing yacht builder Moody, this founded in 1827 as a timber boat builder and repair yard, and entering fiberglass construction in 1965.  In the thirty years Marine Projects owned Moody it presented 39 models and sold a total of 4233 units.  Princess has had four owners since its founding, although one of the three founders, David King was it's chairman from founding till September 2014, and is still as a director today.  From 1981 till 2008 Princess will be owned by Graham J. Beck, and his Renwick Group from South Africa.  Interestingly in between 1996 to 2005 Renwick also owned competing British builder Fairline.  Renwick will sell to Princess to L Capital 2 in May 2008, an investment  group co-sponsored by Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Groupe Arnault.  In January 2016 L Capital will merge with Catterton to become L Catterton, with this selling in February 2023 to KPS Capital Partners, an American investment company.  Currently Princess has five sites in Plymouth, from the original New Port street which started as a rented shed but today owns in its entirety with head office on site since 1965, to Lee Mill, Langage, Coypool, and South Yard purchased in 2012 to produce the larger yachts and previously owned by HMNB Devonport.  The Princess current line up offers nineteen models in five different lines; X Class, Y Class, F Class, S Class, and V Class. The current Princess entry level model is the V40 while the flagship model is the X95 Vista. Princess latest models are the V80 and Y65, while upcoming new projects are the fourth generation V65 and X90.

Prestige presents its new website.  Prestige was officially started in 2009, although the name first appeared in Jeanneau's model line up in 1989, when the Prestige 41 sport cruiser as designed by Massimo Musio-Sale and Vittorio Garroni, and naval architecture by Japec and Jernej Japokin.  The Jeanneau Prestige 41 was a good seller, with the first hull sold to famous French actor Alain Delon and selling a total of 45 units, but ultimately the model will only be produced for two years till 1991, and its platform used for the Ferretti joint venture Yarding Yacht brand and the 42 Fly and 42 Open models for another two years till 1994.  Eight years after the Jeanneau 41 Prestige is discontinued, the French boat and yacht builder now since 1995 owned by the Groupe Beneteau decides to return Prestige, and again gives design duties to Vittorio Garroni, as it presents the 36 with flybridge in the fall of 1999.  The Jeanneau Prestige 36 will start the Prestige line, as the model is followed by the Prestige 32 a year later in 2000, and the Prestige 34S sport cruiser in 2003.  Thanks to its nice design by Garroni and competitiveness the Prestige line is by the mid noughties a top selling name in the motor and sport cruisers from ten to fourteen meters in size segment, and Jeanneau notes this and in 2004 opens a solely Prestige factory in Nantes, with the plan to enter into the larger fifteen meters plus sizes, which it does in 2006 as it presents the Prestige 50S.  Seeing again more success Groupe Beneteau decides in 2009 to re-brand Prestige as an independent brand, as it launches the new Prestige 60 flagship model in that same year.  Following the rebranding Prestige keeps on expanding into larger sizes, as in 2013 it also launches the 750, which is produced for four years and still its largest build to date.  Prestige has in its story made two bold design choices; with the X-Line and M-Line series. The X-Line is a wide body volume focused series which arrived in 2019 and debuts with the X70 and is followed by the asymmetric semi-wide-body X60.  The M-Line comes in 2022 entering Prestige into the power catamaran segment with the M48, which is followed a year later in 2023 by the M8, what is Prestige largest for volume model to date.  As top sellers go the Jeanneau Prestige 34S from 2003 to 2009 is its best sold model to date with over five hundred units sold, and is followed by the 500 Flybridge and S sharing platform as produced from 2011 to 2019 which sells four hundred plus in total for the two model versions.  Currently Prestige offers thirteen models, divided into four lines; M-Line, X-Line, F-Line, and S-Line which start from the 420S and go up to the X70.  All Prestige models have to date been designed by Garroni, with the latest models being the F4.3 which debuted last January, and the upcoming M7 which is set to arrive in mid this year.  The Prestige web site is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkey, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese, and takes you around with the following buttons; The Brand, Our Yachts, News, Services, Our Dealers, Configurator, and Contact.  Prestige is also on social media with bottom page links taking you to its Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, and Linkedin pages.

Aquila New Web Site

Aquila presents its new web site.  Aquila from Hangzhou, China was founded in 2012 by the Xiong family owned Sino Eagle Group in a joint venture with Lex Rass, and MarineMax co-founder at the time CEO Bill McGill.  Sino Eagle Group was founded officially in 2007, but its founder John Zhangyou Xiong entered boat building in 1985 when he was studying carpentry and furniture making in China and working part time with a boat builder.  At the end of that same year John starts his own business and started designing and building high performance rowing shells, with his first build launched in March 1986, and the same rowing boat winning a gold medal in April 1986.  In 1990 Xiong will get his important breakthrough as he gets an order for 61 racing shells for the 1990 Asian Games, but this gets disrupted as the factory roof collapses in a storm some weeks before delivery destroying some of the finished shells.  Still Xiong and his staff with commitment and hardship will manage to complete the order, and deliver the shells in time.  In 2007 Sino Group is founded, while in 2011 Sino Eagle USA is formed in Florida.  This will lead to the Aquila brand arriving in 2012, first with the Aquila 38 which debuted in that year, and is followed by the Aquila 48 as designed by JandJ with input from MarineMax.  Today Aquila is recognized as the largest in volume Power Catamaran builder in the World, currently offering twelve power catamarans from eight to 21 meters, and divided into four series; Offshore, Sport, Coupe, and Yachts.  Aquila latest 2025 models are the just launched 42 Coupe and 46 Coupe.  Aquila new website takes you around with the following buttons; Offshore, Sport, Coupe, Yachts, Luxury, About, and Find a Dealer.  Aquila is also on social media with bottom page buttons taking you to its; Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Linkedin pages.
