Azimut appoints Puerto Rican dealer

Wally Castro Marine to represent Italian yacht brand in Puerto Rico

Italy’s Azimut Yachts has chosen Wally Castro Marine as its new dealer in Puerto Rico.

Named after its president, Wally Castro, who has actively participated in the boating community for over 30 years, Wally Castro Marine is dedicated to the sale of boats and yachts while also offering service, repairs and maintenance. The company claims to be Puerto Rico’s leading boat retailer.

“We are extremely excited about this new collaboration in Puerto Rico,” says Federico Ferrante, president of Azimut-Benetti Americas. “Wally Castro Marine and Azimut-Benetti Group share the same DNA: both family businesses, driven by passion, and focused solely on the experience for their customers. Through these strong values both companies are leaders in their respective fields, already.”

Puerto Rico hosts a lively nautical industry and rich boating culture, with marinas on every coast and accessible neighbouring islands.

“We feel beyond excited and proud to welcome Azimut to our family,” says Wally Castro. “The brand shares our values and commitment with quality, luxury, and excellence. We now feel complete as we can offer our customers an exclusive line of megayachts up to over 100ft, so the Caribbean can be enjoyed with the Italian splendour.”

Azimut builds motoryachts from 42ft-125ft in length across six lines – Verve, Atlantis, Magellano, Flybridge, S and Grande. The company has five production facilities in Italy (Avigliana, Fano, Viareggio, Savona and Varazze) and one in Brazil, in Itajai, and a presence in 80 countries through a network of 136 sales and customer service centres and representative offices in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Ft Lauderdale and Itajai.
