Cantiere Mimì continues to regenerate its range by offering different versions of the same model to suit different onboard lifestyles.

Libeccio 9.5 Cabin is the brand's latest new development and will be previewed at the Genoa Boat Show from September 19 to 24.

"The Genoa Boat Show has always been a must-go event, as it enables us to meet our growing pool of owners and other fans of the brand, who are increasingly diverse from every point of view and above all geographically. Last year, for example, a Hong Kong owner was fascinated by the Libeccio 9.5 Walkaround and a few weeks ago we sealed our first sale in the Far East. This significant success demonstrates the importance of the event in our internationalisation strategy. It's also an opportunity to widen our network of dealers and we're excited, and proud, to be taking part this year too," commented the Yard's CEO Domenico Senese.

"We decided to take some of our best-selling models to Genoa," added Sales Manager Rosaria Senese, "and chose different versions showcasing our offering of various configurations with the same length to satisfy a range of onboard lifestyles and preferences for a traditional, Walkaround or Cabin layout. We also chose this occasion to preview the Libeccio 9.5 Cabin, which we developed to offer a more sheltered stern cockpit. It's the first cabin boat of this size to have a hard top that extends from the windscreen and completely covers the helm station, as well as having more generous interior volumes than the Walkaround".

The six other boats on display include the 11 Cabin, which is making its first appearance at a boat show: it has a larger and totally redesigned stern cockpit, an outdoor galley, a relaxation area fitted out with sunpads that can be converted into sofas, and two internal cabins. The Libeccio 6.5, on the other hand, is a gozzo designed as a pure open boat, versatile and practical, as well as being the smallest in the range and well suited to those at the beginning of their yachting experience.

There's also the Libeccio 7.5, the first in the open range to have an ample sunpad covered by a spacious cabin, the Libeccio 8.5 Classic, whose tiller is one of the features paying tribute to the tradition of the brand founded in 1975, the Libeccio 8.5 Walkaround and the Libeccio 9.5 Walkaround, both developed to provide far more exterior space for this type of boat. All these models are penned by naval engineer and designer Valerio Rivellini.
