Arcadia Yachts appoints US broker
Italian shipyard Arcadia Yachts has entered into an agreement with The Italian Yacht Group as the boatbuilder expands into the US market.
The agreement between the Campania-based shipyard and the American brokerage firm will be presented at the Palm Beach Boat Show, which kicks off on Thursday (21 March 2024).
Arcadia now has a presence on almost every continent, including the Mediterranean, Hong Kong, the Caribbean, Mexico and Australia.
“In recent years, we’ve worked hard to promote our brand in America and we’re particularly proud of this agreement,” says Francesco Frediani, Arcadia Yachts’ CCO. “We believe that The Italian Yacht Group is in the ideal position to present not only the technical features of our models to American owners, but above all our idea of wellness and slow yachting. The top management of this firm is the perfect partner to channel our high-end boutique culture and products characterised by superior build and finishing quality.”
The Italian Yacht Group has locations on the East Coast in Florida (in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach) and in New York (Sag Harbour).
George Jousma, founder and president of The Italian Yacht Group adds: “We’ve been very pleased to engage with the leadership team at Arcadia Yachts, and we’ve worked closely with them at their Naples area shipyard. We’re impressed by the Arcadia team’s out-of-the-box thinking and uniquely innovative designs.
“In many respects, we also see Arcadia Yachts as a keeper of the rich tradition of world-class Italian shipbuilding”.
