For the coming period we have been invited by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) to participate in an economic mission to Italy, exploring new opportunities in yacht building and connecting with leading shipyards.
Following the request by 2 different owner rep teams, Seable&Co already made a strong start in Italy, securing 2 large contracts for exterior outfitting of two 80m yachts. Now, we’re setting our sights on the west coast to expand our reach and strengthen partnerships.
Why Italy?
Key economic partner – Italy is the 3rd largest economy in the Eurozone and the 6th largest export market for the Netherlands.
Yacht building powerhouse – Italy leads in superyacht production, particularly in serial and semi-custom yachts with 120 new yachts sold in the > 30m segment. The 60-80m custom yacht segment is also growing in Italy and presents a new opportunity for clients that are looking to achieve premium exterior spaces with features such as pools, whirlpools, loose and fixes furniture, outdoor kitchens, and open-air cinemas.
Yacht Design – Many of the leading yacht designers we have worked with and/or we are looking forward to working with are based in Italy. Specially for owner supply furniture scope our collaboration with these design offices is intensifying recently
With Claudio Zimarino our Italian flavour in the team, bridging cultural and communication gaps is easier than ever helping us build strong relationships. Stay tuned for updates as we navigate new opportunities in Italy!
