Yl Yachtlounge will represent Azimut under the banner of Azimut Yachts Austria with the aim of strengthening the brand's presence and opening new opportunities in the Austrian market, a strategic area for yachting along the coastal regions of the Upper Adriatic.

Azimut announces the new collaboration with YL YACHTLOUNGE, the Shipyard's exclusive dealer for the Austrian market. This strategic partnership marks a significant step as the brand expands into an area of great potential for high-end yachting.

YL YACHTLOUNGE, based in the historic center of Salzburg, is a company with over 30 years of experience in international yacht sales and brokerage, focusing on customer care and service excellence. The company has collaborated with some of the most prestigious shipyards and has recently contributed to the success of the Benetti Diamond 44M M/Y Papa Joe project. This latest milestone has led YL YACHTLOUNGE to further strengthen its relationship with Azimut|Benetti Group to include exclusive dealership of Azimut, which will be able to offer owners an exclusive service at every stage by leveraging the Dealer's consolidated network of partners, from purchase to after-sales assistance.

"The collaboration with Azimut Yachts Austria began optimistically, recording concrete results right from the start: the first sales contract has already been signed. We see this as an initial confirmation of Azimut's growth potential in the Austrian territory and the effectiveness of the new partnership between our two companies", says Enrico Chiaussa, CCO EMEA-APAC Azimut Yachts.

Austria is a strategic market for Azimut, due to its strong purchasing power and passion for yachting, strengthened by its proximity to renowned coastal destinations on the Adriatic, between Italy and Croatia. The new dealership will allow the Shipyard to consolidate its local presence, establishing long-lasting relationships with owners and ensuring continuous support, not only during the nautical season, but throughout the year as well.

"Our mission is to offer customers a personalized and highly professional service, supporting them in every phase of the purchase and management of their yacht," commented Günter Kapolnek, CEO of YL YACHTLOUNGE. "We are proud to represent a leading brand like Azimut and we are determined to contribute to its growth in Austria."

With this new partnership, Azimut confirms its commitment to innovation and international expansion, offering an exclusive and tailor-made experience for Austrian owners.
