In Florida, a Palm Beach, appena inaugurata la 41ma edizione dell’International Boat Show, salone nautico tra i più prestigiosi al mondo, dove saranno esposte, fino a dopodomani 26 marzo, oltre 800 barche in rappresentanza di circa 600 marchi. I visitatori attesi sono 55.000 e 1,05 miliardi di dollari è l’impatto economico previsto dagli organizzatori americani. In mostra una vasta gamma di imbarcazioni di ogni tipo, dai gommoni fino ai superyacht di oltre 90 metri, in esposizione per la vendita o per il charter. Non mancano proposte innovative, dedicate alle motorizzazioni ibride ed elettriche, anche se il grosso dell’esposizione è dedicato alle propulsioni tradizionali.
Made in Italy is represented by many medium and large shipyards, with products that are increasingly able to conquer space on the American market. Among the big names in the sector stand out Azimut-Benetti, Ferretti Group (Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, Itama, CRN, Custom Line, Wally), SanLorenzo, Anvera and boats between 12 and 15 meters, mostly planing and fast walkarounds. In this sector, the proposals of EVO Yacht, Fiart and Pardo stand out.
Launched in 2022, and already delivered to her lucky owner, Benetti's 67-metre Calex is officially presented to the general public, a full custom yacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Azimut exhibits 9 models of yachts that have marked the history of world navigation: from the Grande Trideck (a fundamental part of the shipyard's Low Emission Yacht family) to the S6, together with the Fly family with the 60, 72 and 78, up to the Verve 42 and 47 and the Grande 27M and 32M.
Sanlorenzo is present in Palm Beach with two well-known boats on this side of the ocean, such as the SL 86 and the 120A. The first – designed by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta's Officina Italiana Design – is a 26.7-metre yacht capable of combining tradition and innovation and offering an unparalleled level of customization in its category.
The 120 A, as is known, is instead the first asymmetrical model in the world, the first of a series that enhances the concept of asymmetry by enhancing space, comfort, functionality, flexibility of use and connection between internal and external volumes. Also in this case it is a well-known boat in Europe (it was presented at the Cannes Boat Show in 2021) that will also please the American public for its ability to combine style.
EVO Yacht showed up at the Florida boat show with what it takes to amaze the American public. Thanks to the partnership with Best Marine, dealer active in the USA since 1991, the Neapolitan shipyard participates in the Palm Beach Boat Show with an original silk grey unit of the EVO R4 WA, a 13-meter walkaround day cruiser already known in America that stands out for its ability to adapt to multiple needs, given the openings of the sides and the multipurpose stern.
Fiart also focuses on walkarounds, with the Seawalker 35 and the Seawalker 43. The latter, as known, is the flagship of the range: a boat 13.84 meters long by 3.99 wide, which proves ideal for those looking for a fast cruiser, able to accommodate up to 12 people and available with six different types of engines. The 35 (heir to the dozer 33 out of production) is instead the smallest and most recent of the Seawalker family, a 9.99-meter boat that is handy, fast and fun.
Pardo Yacht lines up the entire P38, P43, P50, Endurance 60 and GT52 range, an impressive fleet of walkaround boats able to best represent, on the 50th anniversary of the shipyard's foundation, the fundamental values of quality, craftsmanship and innovation that have made this brand famous in the world, born with sailing and grown with the engine.
