The début of Mondomarine at Fort Lauderdale
After the attendance at the Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes and at the Monaco Yacht Show, Mondomarine participated for the first time to the International Boat Show in Fort Lauderdale (U.S.), the world capital of yachting.
“The United States – said the CEO Diego Deprati – represents for us a market waiting to be discovered; until now, in fact, we had only one American customer, on the other hand a personal relationship of the Yard’s ownership, for whom we have realized two yachts.
Thus, after thirty-one years since the foundation of Mondomarine, was ripe for us the time to present on this market too, though remaining faithful to our policy, that is to make small steps forward and above all safe, without risking of having to make as many back. Our type of product is certainly attractive also for U.S. owners, especially because in our market niche the currency problem is not so crucial. The motivation is that the quality of the European and Italian yachtbuilding industry in the production of mega-yachts fears no comparisons.
We are also confident that the American market can reserve us an outlet in the medium term and we have no hurry; the international economic crisis began in the U.S. and from this country will have to come the first signs of recovery. The potentials are enormous and so it was only right to follow the current and try. The next step in this exploratory phase will be to choose between a representative office or to rely on a local partner, but it is still early to talk about”.
The year 2009 of Mondomarine has already seen three different launches: the first was that of the 50 meters Toy-A, designed by Giorgio Vafiadis, followed by the 41 meters Alexander Two signed by Cor D. Rover and Luca Dini and finally by the 50 meters Streamline, the work by a design team composed by Cor D. Rover, Luca Dini and Frederic Mechiche.
After the launch of Streamline (the fifty-seventh yacht bearing the logo Mondomarine) the Shipyard is currently building five other motor yachts: three 41 meters and two 50 meters semidisplacement yachts with deliveries scheduled between 2010 and 2011.
