Riva · 96' Argo Super

Riva Grows the Argo Into a 96, and Reworks the Deck Below

The first 96' Argo Super was launched today in La Spezia. The added length is the headline; a day head moved to the main deck and a full beam VIP that reads as a second master are the actual news.

D-Marin · Marina di Olbia

The acquisition adds 270 berths and a 200 meter fuel quay in Sardinia. It also completes a chain of marinas from the Côte d'Azur to the Costa Smeralda under one operator.

The Canadian yard is building hull one before a buyer signs, offering the volume of a 45 metre monohull in a sub-500 GT, shallow-draft platform, and turning the exchange rate into part of the pitch.

Cannes Yachting Festival · 49th Edition

Cannes Opens the Season, With the Innovation Route Back on the Water

Six days, two ports, more than 700 boats. The festival's second Innovation Route Awards put sustainability where the industry can no longer treat it as a side note.

Azimut · Grande 44M

Azimut Launches the Grande 44M With Seven Hulls Already Sold

Carbon fiber over half the vessel, a Hull Vane foil at the stern and a four deck architecture. The engineering exists to serve one commercial idea: give the owner an entire deck.

Benetti · Class 44M "Lumina"

Benetti Launches Lumina and Puts €100 Million Behind Tuscany

The slipway ceremony is the photograph. The investment plan is the news: Azimut|Benetti doubled its production value in five years and is reinvesting into the district that produces 70 percent of it.
