Cantieri di Pisa Presented Its New Akhir Models At Monaco YS

Cantieri di Pisa presented its new Akhir models at the 2007 Monaco Yacht Show, and these models continue to be the pride of the boatyard 30 years after they were first launched.

The launch of five new yacht models on the market is an indication of how the Camuzzi Group, who acquired Cantieri di Pisa in 2005, intends to promote the historical tradition of this boatyard and to make it its lifeblood: quality, comfort, elegance and sophisticated design. The acquisition therefore has not only financial implications but also a strong industrial slant, with important consequences from an economic, as well as organisational, point of view. The boatyard’s production strength has been further boosted by the recent acquisition of two Tunisian boatyards specialising in the production of composite material parts, elements specific to Akhir boats.

The new Akhir yachts were designed by Carlo Galeazzi, who picked up the baton from Pierluigi Spadolini, the designer who pioneered a series of success stories at the beginning of the ’70s.

Today’s output maintains the standards of excellent seaworthiness and comfort. The use of traditional composite material that has characterised the hull and superstructure from the outset is further enhanced by innovative materials.

From a design point of view, the new models are clearly Akhir with a strong “family feel” that will ensure that they are instantly recognisable, combining traditional values with innovative solutions.

There are 5 models in the range: 86', 108', 118', 135', 153'.

The head of the family will be the Akhir 135’ due to be launched next season.
