Yacht Projects Competitors

Great innovators don't ask for permission. They arrive disruptive and fearless, leaving everything that came before feeling a little less extraordinary. That's the kind of yacht Robert Braithwaite dared to create in 1969. Lower. Faster. Sharper. Soon they were turning heads in harbours across the world and expectations changed forever. Every new yacht was another chance to challenge convention. Day boats grew into superyachts. And what started as one man's audacious obsession became the wild spirit of Sunseeker. Some follow the tide. Mavericks change it.

Perched on the edge of the English Channel lies the city of Plymouth, where we established our home in 1965. Today Princess shipyards cover an area of over 1.1 million square feet, an area rich in British maritime heritage. In fact, South Yard, where our X Class Superyachts are constructed, is a former naval yard dating back to the 17th century. From the outset, our goal has been to meticulously sculpt our yachts around our owners’ enjoyment of them. Such dedication and attention to detail resonates deeply with our Plymouth craftsmen. Over 3,000 people, each possessing a mastery of their skill, fastidiously realise this vision in our shipyards. Through a culture of innovation, our yachts are not only some of the most technically-advanced in the world but also the most beautifully realised.

Welcome aboard. We are happy to take you on a journey that will amaze you. We are the leader in the design and production of luxury motor yachts. The history of Azimut yachts officially began in 1969, when the young university student Paolo Vitelli started a small sailing boat rental business by founding Azimut SRL. In a short time, the iconic AZ 43' Bali was born. The dream came true. The company has grown a lot since then, but the mission has remained the same: to define new stylistic and industrial standards to create amazing yachts. Thanks to an unmistakable design contaminated with the world of art and architecture, our boats can be recognized even from far away on the horizon. Always at the forefront in introducing innovations that change the world of yachting, our masterpieces are distributed through the world's most global dealer network. From Italian style, a love that lasts over time.
