MarineMax Inc., the world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer, teamed up with Azimut Yachts to play a host to this year’s Newport Azimut Gala, taking place at the Newport Harbor Hotel. The event brought together over 150 MarineMax as well as Azimut owners in the prominent setting of Newport, Rhode Island, USA, and represented a grand celebration of yachts and excellent customer service.

U.S. version of Azimut 84 yacht developed by MarineMax and Azimut

Guests spent the weekend enjoying the sights, sounds, tastes, and of course beautiful yachts. Cocktail parties, celebrity chef cooking lessons, a scenic lobster bake, dinghy poker run, and a luxurious gala were just a few of the exciting things that took place.

MarineMax and Azimut have also partnered to develop the U.S. version of Azimut’s popular 84 Flybridge yacht model. This new version features a redesigned flybridge, main deck and lower deck to provide maximum comfort, style, and versatility. The U.S. version of the superyacht Azimut 84 launches in fall 2013.
