Company history

The first steps to the Azimut Yachts shipyard were taken by the enterprising Italian Paolo Vitelli in 1969. As a student, he organized his first business and started chartering. His desire to move forward led to the expansion of the company to the sale of boats. A little later he set up his own design studio and started designing new boats. In alliance with Dutch Amerglass, the first boat, the AZ 43 Bali, was produced, the success of which contributed to the development of the company.

In the 70-80s the shipyard focused its production on the smallest and largest fiberglass models at that time. In 1977, the company launched the legendary 32 Targa, which made it even more popular. In 1982, the 105 Failaka was born, which was the largest fiberglass production boat of that time.
