Timone Yachts, know exactly what to do

We met Luigi Gambelli, CEO of Timone Yachts, the Azimut Benetti exclusive dealer for the Central-Northern Adriatic area, Austria and Germany

Luigi Gambelli, head of Timone Yachts , which has been the Azimut Benetti official dealer for the upper and central Adriatic since 1992, is a man filled with energy, passion and determination. The Magellano , docked at the port of Senigallia, emits a pure light that, in the warmth of the afternoon, reflects peacefully from the smooth surfaces of one of the flagship boats of the company founded by Paolo Vitelli.

Outside, it’s windy. The sky is clear, like Luigi Gambelli’s eyes: blue and smiling . Friendly and competent. Two qualities every good dealer must have. «When Azimut’s dealer for the Adriatic was closing down I had everything ready to take their place». It all began in the 1980s, with a yachting shop in Senigallia. Passion did the rest.

«He puts his all into it, he’s a machine» , his wife exclaims, as Gambelli answers the constant stream of phone calls he receives. To begin with he only offered consultancy for those wanting to buy a yacht, before realising that selling was his calling. And he’s certainly been proven right: Timone Yachts’ results are clear for all to see, with over 950 boats sold .

And the business, owned by Gambelli and Paolo Moresco , who has been on board since 2008, is also expanding abroad: firstly with a partnership with the South Korean company Aceyacht , and then with YachtWerk , Azimut’s sole dealer in Austria and Germany, a start-up based in Bavaria that stemmed from collaboration between Timone and the German company Splendid Yachting .

So what’s the secret of his success? «Be brave ». Innovate to a certain extent, but with caution and prudence. «The world of Italian boating was perhaps a little short on caution, especially during the years of the financial crisis, when many companies joined the market without really knowing what to do and where to go» , says Gambelli. For Timone Yachts, however, it was different.

It is now a solid, expanding company, but paradoxically this is in part due to the crisis . «It gave us stimulus, pushing us to work better and in a more structured way. It allowed us to grow» . During the most difficult years, Gambelli explored, opening up to other markets where the crisis was felt less heavily. «Asia, China, Singapore, Turkey and the Balearic Islands. New markets and new colleagues. Dialogue and a chance to exchange experiences, points of view and opinions» , he tells us, contentedly.

As a result, Timone Yachts became stronger than before. Far-sightedness and an ability to plan played their part. But you also need a strong, close-knit team : «I like the fact that the people who work with me can develop. Ours is a very free company, where everyone can work with enthusiasm. And that gives me a lot of satisfaction» .

But what does being an Azimut dealer entail? «First of all it means being professional. And it’s not enough to know how to sell. The technical aspect is key. Support, dry berthing and refitting. We can tackle any unforeseen event and meet all the client’s needs. And we have a lot of specialist workers at our shipyard in Fano, where we also make custom designs» . And Gambelli is also at pains to tell us about the highly valuable work carried out by the young shipyard manager Stefano Basconi , who heads an extremely dynamic team.

Another requirement is understanding the tastes and needs of clients . Azimut buyers want luxury and simplicity, and minimalism that transcends fashion. «Azimut has always been on the crest of the wave, it never gets old» . Consider, for example, the new Azimut S6 , presented in September at the Cannes Boat Show, with its unmistakable exterior by Stefano Righini and interior by Francesco Guida . Or the Flybridge 55 , again with an exterior by Righini, and interior design by Achille Salvagni . Or the inimitable Atlantis 51 , created by Neo Design .

The list goes on. Boats that set trends for the market, including in terms of their technology. The superyacht Grande 32 Metri stemmed from a combination of carbon technology and a D2P hull (double-chine with a wave-piercing bow), resulting in optimum fuel consumption efficiency, both at slow and fast cruising speeds. Leading the way, in other words.

«All thanks to Giovanna Vitelli» , Gambelli notes. The vice-president of the Azimut Benetti group has always involved figures from outside the yachting world, who help to create highly innovative products. They break the traditional rules and encourage crossover, but without ever losing sight of the main objective: a boat must always be a boat. «Azimut dares, and that’s what makes the difference» .

Blu Yachts: Successful Voyage to the East

Former Arcadia and Pardo dealer is now a member of the Timone Yachts Group, led by Luigi Gambelli

With the goal of better functionality and encouraged by the impressive and constant growth of his companies, entrepreneur Luigi Gambelli brought together brands Timone Yachts, Timone Yachts Brokerage, Timone Yachts Service, Timone Luxury cars, Blu Yachts and Yachtwerk under one captain’s cap in Timone Yachts Group. This move is a testament to the apparent growth that has led to the progressive development and consolidation of companies that withstood the severe financial crisis of 2008 and reactivated in a market that is booming despite the pandemic.

Timone Yachts Group, headed by Luigi Gambelli and his partner Paolo Moresco, operates as a single entity and uses all the possibilities of the company, and is a leader in the sale of luxury yachts, as well as in of ship storage and overhauling. The Group is also active in yacht charter in Croatia and consulting, crucial for the relationship between entrepreneurs and clients, seeing how Gambelli put emphasis on values such as trust and authority.

Among the brands of the group stands out Blu Yachts, the exclusive Italian dealer for Arcadia Yachts brand based in the Adriatic, for Austrian, Slovenian, German, Croatian, Montenegrin, Albanian and Swiss clients.

The group recently launched the new Sherpa XL, the latest Arcadia model, a yacht that fully embraces the philosophy of outdoor living and is designed for close contact with the sea thanks to the sensational open space it offers. ‘As we all know, the yachting industry did not suffer drastic damage due to the pandemic. We withstood the attack. However, that is not enough because now it’s important to bring new models and quality to the market. Among the quality products we offer to our customers are Arcadia yachts, an embodiment of authentic quality,’ explains Luigi Gambelli.

The group is not just an Arcadia dealer, but also represents Pardo, whose innovation and expertise built over 50 years are one of the best kept secrets of the market. Thanks to these two valuable aces in their sleeve, Blu Yachts have grown and now have offices in Lignano Sabbiador, Rimini, Fan and Senigallia, and are present throughout the Eastern European market, where it is among the most popular.

The Group operates in Croatia through two sales channels: A.D.S. marina in Punat on the island of Krk and the sales office of Elit Yachts in the Polish town of Wiskitki k/Wwa. ‘Our approach is characterized by our readiness to make our rich experience, professionalism and kindness available to clients all day, every day’, continues Gambelli, who has been building his career in the yachting industry since the early 1980s. His dream came true: working with the sea and on sea, in the service of authentic gems of nautical production that conquer with their style and splendor, just like their dealer Timone Yachts Group.

Luxury Yacht Giants Unite: Nautor Swan and Sanlorenzo Group Merger

• By Yachting Staff
• August 27, 2024

Nautor Swan, which is best known for building sailing yachts from 28 to 131 feet long, has passed 60 percent of its ownership to Sanlorenzo Group, which also includes the Sanlorenzo superyacht shipyard and the Bluegame range of open and fishing powerboats.

The plan is for Sanlorenzo Group to have 100 percent ownership of Nautor Swan by April 2028, at the end of a four-year transition period.

“I have dedicated 26 years, together with a skilled and professional team, to developing and transforming this already famous and iconic shipyard into an international brand recognized for quality, elegance and reliability, the key elements at Nautor Swan’s core,” Leonardo Ferragamo, Nautor Group president, stated in a press release. “Today, my goal is to propel forwards a brand that is so beloved and respected and ensure its longevity by entrusting it to one of the world’s leading nautical groups, led by Massimo Perotti, one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs in the marine industry.”

Perotti, the CEO of Sanlorenzo Group, added in the same press release: “Signing this agreement represents another milestone for our strategy. … We are talking about a niche brand, ultra-exclusive, whose philosophy is aligned with the one we have in Sanlorenzo.”

Nautor Swan was founded in 1966. The Boatbuilding Technology Centre in Pietarsaari, Finland, is expected to remain the main production site for its yachts, while the partnership with Sanlorenzo Group will allow for more research and development, including the use of new materials and sustainability options in construction and outfitting.

The Sanlorenzo Group’s plans include pursuing such developments along with expanded markets while “always preserving the heritage and the exclusivity of the brand, respecting the competence and experience gained over the years by Nautor Swan. The union of the two brands Sanlorenzo-Nautor Swan—each with its own exclusive and limited offer, dedicated to a proper audience of connoisseurs, not overlapping—will create a unique nautical pole in the world. The best of motor and sailing yachting.”

Ferragamo will remain president of Nautor Swan, with Perotti as CEO and Giovanni Pomati as co-CEO.

Wait—doesn’t Nautor Swan build motoryachts too? Yes. The brand is best known for its sailing yachts, with close to 20 models stretched across Yacht, Maxi and ClubSwan lines, but there is also a Nautor Swan Motor Yacht Division. Its offerings include the Swan Shadow, Swan OverShadow and Swan Arrow. Overall, Nautor Swan has built more than 2,350 yachts in the past five decades.

A body believed to be that of Mike Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter has been located in the wreckage of a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily.

The Italian Coastguard confirmed the body was found this morning (Friday), meaning all six missing passengers have now been located. Vincenzo Zagarola, of the Italian Coastguard, said the search for Hannah has not been 'easy or quick', comparing the sunken yacht to an '18-storey building full of water'.

Mr Zagarola said: "From the first moment, it has not been easy or quick to inspect the boat. Think of an 18-storey building full of water."

Mr Lynch, his daughter Hannah, Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judy Bloomer, Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo died when the yacht sank at around 5am local time on Monday.

Five bodies have already been brought to shore in the small fishing village of Porticello, around 11 miles from the Sicilian capital of Palermo. Of the 22 passengers and crew on board, 15 – including Mr Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares – were rescued after escaping on to a lifeboat.

The body of Canadian-Antiguan national Recaldo Thomas, who was working as a chef on the superyacht, was recovered at the scene of the sinking on Monday. The boat trip was a celebration of Mr Lynch’s acquittal in a fraud case in the US.
