Azimut Yachts score a double triumph at the Motor Boat Awards with the Azimut 80 and Azimut Atlantis 34 both winning.
There could be no better way for Avigliana based Azimut Yachts to start the New Year than winning two awards. The two awards won by the Italian yacht-maker were presented by the authoritative British magazines Motor Boat & Yachting and Motor Boats Monthly.
The Azimut 80 won the award in the ‘Flybridge over 55 feet’ category, with the Azimut Atlantis 34 taking the top award in the ‘Sportcruiser up to 45 feet’ category.
The prestigious awards were officially presented on the occasion of the London Boat Show on January 6 by a panel of judges including the magazines’ editors and experienced boat testers on the basis of the results of tests conducted at sea with the vessels over the past twelve months and published in the magazines. The finalists in each of the nine categories were required to undergo rigorous, thorough testing procedures before the judges made their final decisions.
Francesco Ansalone, Marketing Director of Azimut|Benetti Group commented: “These awards boost the importance of these two yachts, already recognised unique in their category in the previous months. Azimut fans have already demonstrated their appreciation for both vessels, each of which presents decidedly innovative content and sophisticated solutions adopted to respond to the tastes and demands of an increasingly well-informed, evolving clientele. Receiving further confirmation of the success of these decisions from top experts in the field brings us all great satisfaction and encouragement to continue producing vessels which are the product of Italian creativity and skill but also, and above all, of on-going research and application of the best technologies.”
