Superyacht Mariellina a 34 metre Leopard motor yacht has been launched in Pisa, Italy. The launch of motor yacht Mariellina is a mile stone in the shipyard’s passage from the Rodriguez Group management to the Picchiotti family. M/Y Mariellina is the first yacht entirely managed by the Leopard Yachts shipyard: It has been sold, built and customised directly by the shipyard to satisfy the owner needs.
The launch of yacht Mariellina coincides with the presentation of the first hull of the new Leopard 43m line. The yacht is the result of the collaboration between the shipyard, the naval architect André Baciugalupo and the interior designer Cristiano Gatto.
The Leopard 43m completes the shipyard’s range with a new concept of a performing and competitive yacht, able to allow its guest to enjoy the open areas in full comfort, thanks to its spacious flybridge.
The Leopard shipyard is ready for the next boat shows season with a new composite range as follows: Leopard 32m, Leopard 34m, Leopard 43m, Leopard 46m, and the Leopard 56m.
“I’m really happy – says CEO Vincenzo Moccia – In such a difficult moment we managed to communicate to the outside world the news that have seen and that will see us as players in the short term:
March 2009: cancellation of the commercial commitment with the Rodriguez Group
June 2009: delivery of a stock yacht to the first direct client
September 2009: direct participation to the first Boat Shows season
April 2010: strategic agreement with the banks
May 2010: M/Y Leopard 43/01 launch: first hull of the new 43m line
June 2010: M/Y Leopard 34/16 launch: first yacht managed directly by the shipyard
July 2010: launch and delivery of M/Y 27/44, second yacht managed directly by the shipyard
The above result has been possible thanks to the dedication of the employees, the workers and the subcontractors, but mostly thanks to the tenacity and the personal and economical commitment of the Picchiotti family who took the risk and are betting on the future.
