News from the shipyards:
Superyacht Azimut 80, a new 24 metre from Azimut, has been named “the most functional yacht in the 24 – 50 metre category” by the 2013 World Yachts Trophy expert jury, composed of journalists from LuxMedia, the French publishing group.
Designed to interpret a lifestyle where comfort and wellbeing merge with sophisticated elegance, luxury yacht Azimut 80 offers 4 cabins and 5 bathrooms to accommodate 8/9 guests and 2 cabins for the captain and crew.

Available in both Open and Coupè models, this new model is ideal for those who seek direct contact with the sea, yet moments of friendly intimacy too.
Plenty of space to sunbathe at the stern. The tender can be stored in the garage below. Atlantis 50 can accommodate 4 to 6 people, with an optional third cabin.

Frauscher 858 yacht tender, a 8.67 metre open motorboat is a sculpure on water. The creative contributions of Harry Miesbauer and Kiska Design convey an original Austrian mountain to sea style.
