It has been an amazing double victory for the Azimut Benetti Group at the recent 11th edition of the prestigious Asia Boating Awards. The top prize in the “Best Worldwide Production Motor Yacht (25m and above)” went to the striking Azimut Grande 95 RPH yacht by Azimut Yachts, while the beautiful Benetti superyacht Illusion V won in the category “Best Yacht Design“.
The 11th Asia Boating Awards took place on May 1, 2015, during an exclusive gala at Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel on the opening night of the Hong Kong Gold Coast Boat Show, which was held from May 1 to 3.
A total number of 21 categories were presented during the prominent Asia Boating Awards, all showcasing Asian builders and international brands, as well as Asian regattas and marinas. The region, especially Hong Kong as well as Singapore, is continuing to grow as a major market for yachts, superyachts and related products/services, such as luxury yacht marinas and service centres.
“These prestigious prizes are not just an honor” – said Ms Giovanna Vitelli, member of the Board of Azimut|Benetti Group – “but also a confirmation of the important positioning of the Group in a strategic market where the Italian company plays a significant role thanks to a clear growth strategy that extends to entire Asia-Pacific area.”
