Held on the weekend of July 7, 8 and 9 in the magnificent setting provided by Porto Venere near La Spezia, this was the third event organised by V Marine to showcase Azimut Yachts.

Over 200 guests experienced the glamour and splendour of 25 sophisticated Azimut Yachts at the recent Rendez-V Marine event held at Porto Venere. The exclusive weekend event was organised by Azimut Yachts dealer V Marine with the support of a few extraordinary partners. The decadent experience was partially supported by a gala dinner of gastronomical proportions prepared by multiple award winning Starchef Carlo Cracco but the real draw of the Porto Venere Rendez-V Marine event was the magnificent selection of Azimut Yachts and new Pirelli tenders all available for exclusive test drives.
