Azimut Yachts History
University student Paolo Vitelli made the bold move of starting a yacht chartering company, Azimut Srl, before he had even received his degree. He rapidly realized a brokerage would be more profitable, and within a year was distributing some of the most prestigious yacht brands in Italy. Over the next few years, Vitelli would fine-tune his business, rising to become one of Italy’s foremost companies specializing in importing and distributing pleasure boats before launching his firm into the yacht designing business. Azimut saw the first of its many successes with the design of the AZ 43′ Bali, a mass-produced fiberglass boat launched as a joint venture with Amerglass.
In 1985, Azimut acquired Benetti Yachts, one of the oldest builders of luxury motoryachts who had been delivering world-class yachts since 1873. Azimut’s acquisition of the historic Viareggio-based shipyard allowed the company to expand into constructing its own yachts. The inventive firm revolutionized the yachting world by introducing several innovative features now accepted as standard requirements, including large leak-proof frameless windows, electric seats, and walnut interiors.
For the past ten years, Azimut has taken an active interest in environmental concerns, spurred by its unrivalled position in the pleasure boat industry to become a leader in environmental sustainability as well. For its consistent and effective management system aimed at reducing the environmental impact of its operations, Azimut was awarded ISO 14001 certification. The environmentally conscious company decided to adopt RINA principles and to achieve RINA Green Plus notation, resulting in the introduction of a range of innovative solutions that include hybrid propulsion motors to sail with a near-zero reduction in noise levels and lower consumption on short day trips, high performance propellers, and environmentally compatible materials.
