Azimut and Benetti are inaugurating their new Americas headquarters at Pier Sixty-Six Marina in Fort Lauderdale during the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which runs from 29 October to 2 November.
The location marks an expansion of Azimut-Benetti Group’s presence in a key market that represents about one-third of its global business.
The group says the openings are part of the strategy to strengthen its position in the United States by 2026. The Fort Lauderdale site will serve as a centre for operations across the Americas.
The new headquarters also reflects the company’s focus on connecting Italian shipbuilding with the American market. During FLIBS, Benetti is hosting clients and visitors at its new waterfront offices, which overlook the company’s fleet on display.
“Fort Lauderdale is considered the yachting capital of America and represents a strategic hub for the group,” says Marco Valle, CEO of the Azimut-Benetti Group. “The opening of these new spaces confirms our commitment to this market and allows us to offer a privileged meeting point to continue connecting with owners and collaborators, in a location that perfectly embodies the spirit and values of our brands.”
The Azimut-Benetti Group is a major producer of superyachts and has led global rankings in the sector for 25 consecutive years. Established in 1969 by Paolo Vitelli and now chaired by Giovanna Vitelli, the family-owned company includes four brands: Azimut, Benetti, Lusben and Yachtique.
Azimut builds vessels from 4m to 13.5m, while Benetti produces yachts exceeding 100m. Lusben focuses on refit services, and Yachtique provides interior styling and art consultancy. The group employs over 2,000 people, operates six shipyards, and maintains 138 sales and service locations across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia.
