Builder Azimut Yachts

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.

In 1985 Azimut acquired the legendary Benetti shipyard with more than a century of shipbuilding history behind it. The purchase proved to be a profitable investment and allowed the firm to become an industry leader.

Production

The company has production facilities with a total area of more than 300,000 square meters, which are located in Italy and Brazil. The shipyard focuses on the automation of work processes, but at the same time keeps an eye on high quality, leaving complex tasks to man. Azimut Yachts is also developing its own technology to improve safety and comfort at sea. Annually more than $100 million is spent on updating the model range, production and new research.
