Luxury Yachting – Where Personality Meets Performance

I am proud to share my latest interview with ITS Academy G. Caboto​ . Partnering with this institution is a priority for me, particularly because of their unwavering commitment to high-level maritime education and their specific focus on training the specialized personnel the yachting sector needs today.
The interview explores the deep connection between luxury, design, and the human element. Here is a brief summary of the key points discussed:

  • The Yacht as a Mirror: How iconic yachts—from Armani’s (Giorgio Armani ) minimalism to Valentino’s (Valentino ) timeless elegance—serve as a direct extension of their owners’ personalities and lifestyles.
  • Female Leadership and Vision: A focus on Giovanna Vitelli (Azimut|Benetti Group , Azimut Yachts , Benetti Yachts , Lusben Refitting Yards ), who has successfully combined a lifelong passion for the sea, inherited from her father, with the talent to innovate and define new styles in the industry.
  • The New Concept of Luxury: Today, luxury is less about the asset itself and more about the exclusivity of the experience, wellness, and a physical “closeness” to the sea.
  • Sustainability & Human Capital: The future of the industry depends on environmental preservation and, crucially, the well-being of the crew. A happy crew is the foundation of a superior guest experience.
  • Advice for the Next Generation: To the students at ITS Caboto, I emphasize humility and relentless curiosity. In the superyacht world, learning never stops.
