As can be seen, the brand has chosen a great filmmaker to mark the debut of Magellano 25 Metri, a model that the outstanding creative contribution of her designers Vincenzo De Cotiis and Ken Freivokh has transformed into a unique and unprecedented yacht project.

The innovative yacht project

It filled us with emotion to present our short film at the Rome Film Fest, with the extraordinary participation of Laura Delli Colli, President of the Cinema per Roma Foundation. My thanks go to Gabriele Muccino for using images and emotions to successfully and fully describe Italian art, quality, beauty and know-how in an engaging and unexpected way.

These are the values to which our every action aspires in the design and construction of our yachts. It is an experience that encourages us to continue working in the direction taken by Azimut|Benetti Group for a number of years now: creative collaborations with major talents and initiatives that break the mould, taking the magic of yachting outside its usual settings and conveying the unique sensation and experience conveyed by the experience of our boats,” commented Giovanna Vitelli, Azimut|Benetti Group vice president.

Open your eyes will land in the United States next October 27, at a private projection in the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, to mark the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 28 to November 1.

A sector undergoing modernisation

Yachting in Romania, which is mainly concentrated around Constanta and other Black Sea resorts, is likely to grow in the future. At present, yachting is mainly seen as a sporting discipline, but the evolution of Nautical Tourism and the increasing interest in Yachting Romania suggest a broader development.
