Yachting

After well over two decades with Azimut Yachts, Marco Valle is settling into his new role as CEO of Azimut-Benetti Group, overseeing motor yacht models ranging from 34ft-354ft and a family-owned dynasty that has topped the Global Order Book for 21 straight years.

Representing Princess in Southeast Asia since 1994, Boat Lagoon Yachting is also a distributor of Jeanneau and Sacs, and a Burgess representative. Vrit Yongsakul explains why the dealership invests so much in bringing new models to Asia and how it’s able to offer clients a 360-degree service.

Marine Italia represents Azimut in several regions and is among the builder’s top dealers due to big sales of large models in Hong Kong.

Arnaud Tellier explains that BNP Paribas Wealth Management is a global leader in yacht financing due to its focus on financial sustainability.

Traugott Kaminski, CEO of Adamas-TISG Asia, explains why the new company has ordered three new superyachts from Italy for charter in Asia.

Marco Valle becomes Azimut Benetti Group CEO on September 1, with current Benetti boss Franco Fusignani remaining on the Board of Directors.
