Sunseeker International, is a UK luxury motor yacht manufacturer founded by Robert Braithwaite. Their headquarters and assembly factory is in Poole Harbour, at Poole in Dorset, England. The company has been making motor boats since 1979. I wanted to describe the company with their words, but they are too pompous. Anyway, Sunseeker seems to be the most famous motor yacht brand, to date. It's disputable with Ferretti and Azimut, I know, but their business is better now, than ever. Sunseeker … [Read more...]

Apreamare
Apreamare's history dates back to 1849 when Giovanni Aprea started to hand build rowing and sailing boats used for fishing in Sorrento, basing his craft on the shape and form of the traditional gozzo sorrentino.

In 1989, the company moves to Grand-Mère by joining forces with Thundercraft and Canot Cadorette. They offer a few motor yacht models, grouped in Sport Yachts, Express Cruisers and Elite Series. Let's see together what all this means, :). They say Doral pays microscopic attention to details. It looks good … [Read more...]
Azimut Yachts
We continue our presentation with the first great motor yachts manufacturer from my both lists, and this is Azimut from Italy, again. It seems that Italians are great boat designers, and I've noticed that even other famous yacht builders, from all over the world, are employing Italian designers services or are linking themselves with some great Italian yacht designers. You see that I can't keep myself from using the word great when it comes to Italian boat designers, and I'm usually very … [Read more...]
