Med marina networks partner up
ITALY: Premium marinas group D-Marin has partnered up with Italian luxury yachting group Azimut Benetti. The alliance adds 1,800 berths in three marinas to the D-Marin network.
Under the terms of the deal, D-Marin acquires a significant stake in Marina di Valetta and Porto Mediceo in Livorno, and commences a commercial integration with award-winning Marina di Varazze. The acquisition of the stakes in Marina di Valetta and Porto Mediceo is subject to the receipt of the required regulatory authorisations and consents.
Paolo Vitelli, founder of the Azimut Benetti Group, explains the rationale of the alliance: “The core values of Azimut Benetti and D-Marin are perfectly aligned to provide an enjoyable yachting experience. D-Marin brings its strive for premium customer experience, the network offering, commercial excellence, sustainability commitments, and digital innovations to further enhance the already world-class luxury marinas of Azimut Benetti and our family. This vast service-rich network of marinas will be able to welcome the owners of the Azimut Benetti Group yachts in a privileged way.”
“We are thrilled to be working with the Vitelli family on these beautiful marinas, supporting the properties to flourish even further with our marina expertise,” says D-Marin CEO Oliver Dörschuck. “This is an exciting partnership for us and one we can’t wait to embark on. We are keen to grow nautical tourism in the Mediterranean and offer a premium marina service at every step of the voyage.”
