Lusben, the refit division of the Azimut-Benetti Group, has opened a new sales office in the marina district of Antibes, on the French Riviera. The firm says this new location will support its ongoing international expansion strategy and provide a direct presence in a major yachting hub.
In a statement, Lusben says the Antibes office is positioned to function as a local contact point for owners, captains and other professionals in the sector. It is also conveniently close to a range of other international yacht management companies and brokerage firms operating in the area, which is considered important to the mega and superyacht market.
The inauguration event took place at the International Yachting Club of Antibes, located nearby to the office.
Gianni Paladino, commercial director of Lusben, says: “Lusben’s approach finds in Antibes the ideal environment to foster valuable relationships and to support our clients throughout the entire lifecycle of their vessels, from routine maintenance to the most complex refits.
“We are confident that our presence in such a strategic location, combined with the expertise gained over the years by Alessandra Gaddi, Lusben sales manager, will allow us to provide even closer support to our long-standing clients and build new trusted relationships with those approaching our world for the first time.”
Lusben operates facilities in Livorno, Viareggio and Varazze. These include infrastructure capable of accommodating superyachts over 100 metres in length, including what the company describes as the largest keel pit in the Mediterranean for sailing yachts.
