AZIMUT|BENETTI GROUP IS THE WORLD’S TOP MEGA YACHT BUILDER FOR THE 20TH TIME. In the Italian company’s 50th anniversary year, Azimut|Benetti confirms its place for the 20th time as the world’s leading builder of high-end mega yachts, based on the international Global Order Book 2020 ranking of top yacht builders recently published by the highly-reputed magazine Boat International. The Group, which closed the last yachting year with an order book standing at over €900 million, up 10% on the previous season, is ending 2019 with two more important events: the delivery of the second Giga yacht over 100 meters long launched during the year and the distribution, to the 2,500 employees of Azimut|Benetti Group and the two brands’ customers and friends, of the book written by the Vitelli family on the history of the Italian yachting industry and the Company’s place in it, as part of a particularly heartfelt and touching ceremony. For the 20th time, leading luxury motor yacht builder Azimut|Benetti Group confirms its place on the top step of the Global Order Book 2020 podium, the official ranking drawn up each year by highly-reputed UK magazine Boat International to report on industry trends for yachts over 80 feet in length based on actual order data. With its Azimut Yachts and Benetti brands, the Italian Group has outranked shipyards from around the world, with 101 yachts under construction totalling 3,535 meters in length, and celebrates the milestone of 50 years in business with this prestigious win. But the happy surprises don’t end here: in the last few days the second Giga yacht over 100 meters long launched this year was handed over to the owner, crowning the first “Benetti Giga Season”. This endorses Benetti’s excellence in this segment as the only shipyard in the southern Mediterranean to compete in this niche market. Finally, the last initiative to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary puts the spotlight on the company’s employees and their families, after the customer-oriented celebrations in Dubai, the exciting experience in Times Square and the magical evening in Cap d’Antibes. Employees were given a copy of the book written by the Vitelli family about the history of the Italian yachting industry and the company’s place in it.
